Devin Castle (HRAD Devin) - INCREDIBLE VIEWS, great history- 10/10 castle! - Slovakia travel vlogs

A short 20-minute ride away from Bratislava, we visit a really old castle that was once blown up by Napolean's Army and was a site where the Iron Curtain once influenced life and death for many during the Cold War.

I’m glad you stumbled upon us! Devin Castle was my favorite site we saw around Bratislava. You’re in for a treat. Can’t wait to hear about your experience!

2:48 Im from Slovakia and we (or at some parts of country) call them "Okruhličky" wich you can translate as Roundies(?).

That's a very cute translation :)

Hi Great video, thank you very much. I visit the castle every year with the kids, there is always some kind of festival there. Just small corrections, velvet revolution in Czechoslovakia took part in 1989. Many people died there because they were trying to escape to the west and they were killed by comunist border patrol.

Thank you for the kind correction - always appreciate hearing from folks who know more than we do.

It's nice that you came to see the Iron Curtain monument. Many tourists just look at the castle and have no idea what is under it by the river. It was ceremoniously unveiled by the British Queen Elizabeth II. Btw, the tree is called "Mirabelka", has two variants, red and yellow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirabelle_plum

Thanks for the comment! I'm a huge history buff so it was a must-not-miss for me. Slovakia is so beautiful!

[@martinfratric5304]

@@kineticpassports Yes , "Mirabelka" is a sort of wild plum... You can also find second variant named "Ringlota" there on the Devin castle.
