Impregnable?

 Lednica Castle, Slovakia , EU

Love this, its so what a mountain should be and there nestling as if of the very root of rock is a castle. Ancient and slowly day by day dying.   As are we all.  Don't preserve us we're all as common as muck but try if you can to save the likes of this hewn from rock and man.

The castle is tough built in the thirteenth century right into the mountain, and all but destroyed in the seventeenth by, of course, us.  What remains has weathered the years and is now one of the most inaccessible castles in Slovakia and probably the world.   To get to inside the remaining walls you have to climb some eighty steps inside, I think, the mountain!

Well worth a visit and if you're lucky you might see the ghost of the lady who its said did believe there is a fate worse than death.  At night she haunts the castle where she preferred to die rather than be ravished.

I found this picture, or rather it came to me on Tumblr!  Via photo via by Jozef Sadecky
