Get Familiar with the Devín Castle
The author of all texts in this section is Andrej Barát
From the white rock above the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers, one can set out for a journey to warm prehistoric seas, but also to the younger Ice Ages. The story of natural pasture which helped defenders of the castle many years ago and which contributes to saving the unique biodiversity of the castle site gets alive in Devín. In Devín, you can follow the traces of Celts, Romans, Slavs, or constructors of the medieval version of the castle who used extraordinarily varicoloured geological composition of the Devín rocks. Dramas of the past centuries were destroying the castle repeatedly. And just like in the past, today’s constructors are still recovering the castle relentlessly to preserve the stories.
