Exploring Devin Castle in Bratislava, Slovakia

Hello everyone. I have been back in the USA for about a week- specifically in Fairfield, Iowa. I have a temporary rental out in the country that I will move into in a few days. I will send photos of that later. I still have some Eastern Europe photos to share so thus this post is coming to you posthumously LOL. I plan to continue to blog so stay tuned!

On the last full day of our European trip we decided to visit Devin Castle just outside of Bratislava before we headed back to Budapest and our flight the next morning. The castle site has been settled since the Neolithic Age and fortified since the Bronze and Iron Age and later by Celts and Romans. It was a beautifully clear day and we enjoyed crisp and clear views from the fortress. You can read more of the history of the castle HERE

There are many vineyards on the hillsides surrounding the city.

Despite the 20 degree weather and high winds this young couple were coming for their wedding photos!

Openings in the castle walls created perfect framework to capture

A walkway around the base of the castle gave different viewpoints of the remaining structures of the castle.

This heart is fashioned out of the barbed wire that once was part of the Iron Curtain. The castle had various monuments and displays re the fall of Communism. Slovakia was separated from the rest of Europe for 40 years. On Dec. 10, 1989... 150,000 Bratislava citizens assembled to cross over to Austria to celebrate their freedom.

  1. According to Stanford Medical, It is in fact the one and ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 KG lighter than we do.

    (By the way, it is not about genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING to do with "HOW" they are eating.)

    P.S, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
