Hrad Devín

Castle4.7 · 20 5324.4 · 2 969≈ 1 h 30 minEntry: ~8 €

Dramatic ruins of a medieval fortress set high on a 212-metre limestone cliff at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers near Bratislava. Originating in the Great Moravian era, it served as a strategic border bastion until Napoleon's troops blew it up in 1809. Today, visitors enjoy panoramic vistas extending into Austria and photograph the romantic Maiden Tower perched perilously on an isolated rock needle.

Highlights

  • Panoramic view of the Danube and Morava confluence
  • Romantic Maiden Tower clinging to an isolated rock needle
