Devin (Bratislava, Sovakia)

-





Devin (pronounced "Deh-veen") sits atop a rock formation where the Danube and Morava rivers converge. The castle remained relatively intact until Napoleon's army blew it up in 1809 (the reasons for which are unclear). Devin is about a 5 minute drive from Bratislava, Slovakia.

When i was watching fairy tale movies before, i was always asking my mom "Are those Kings and Queens real?"
Cos i have not seen a real castle, but only images so that maybe the reason why i asked that before.
But now though i have not seen any
but i know there are castles.

Krivoklat (Czech Republic)

Krivoklat (pronounced Kzhee-vo-klat) was once owned by Czech kings (what wasn't in this region?), but lost its prominence after being turned into a "harsh" prison castle. Leaving Prague, it's on the way to Karlovy Vary , about 45 minutes into the trip. We like to take American visitors here, as (along with Karlstejn) it's one of the best "fairy tale castles" in the area, built on a mountaintop and overlooking the valley.
