Hrad Devín
Description
Located at the confluence of the Danube and the Morava Rivers, the castle stands on a high ridge overlooking the rivers and so was a strategic sight for many centuries. Today it is in ruins, and at the time of visiting only part of the site was open to visitors (it had already been closed for 5 years). Walls of some of the buildings are still standing, and the views over the rivers and wider countryside are stunning
Charge
Getting There
The number 29 bus leaves from the bus station underneath the Most SNP hourly on weekdays, half hourly on weekends (weekends only in summer months), and terminates in the car park of the castle. Alternatively the more frequent number 28 starts from Most SNP and runs past the access road to the castle (300m walk to car park). Outside of the summer this is the only option on weekends.
