Šášov CastlePhoto: Iveta Ceferová, Banská Bystrica Region Tourism
The Šášov Castle on the rock above the Hron River rose as a barrier to the hostile world, guarding trade routes and its domain. The easy path to the castle attracts visitors of various age groups throughout the whole year.
The medieval Šášov Castle above Šášovské Podhradie in the Štiavnické Hills was built sometime in the mid-13th century to oversee the crossroads of roads along the Hron. Today, the castle ruins welcome guests from various parts of the world, who listen to the whispers of the past and discover old legends, for example about the Black Queen.
