Today's post is late, as I had a bit of hard time, to figure out what to post abut. However, since some of you said, you would be interested in travel-pictures as well...
So I brought you some pictures from Sirok, in the north of the country, where here is a ruin of a fort / castle. The building originates from the time of the Hungarian's conquest of the Charpatian basin, though it is first mentioned in documents in the 14th century. It was rebuilt and reinforced several times in its history, the last time at the end of the 17th century, but after the failure of the freedom fight led by Ferenc Rákóczi the 2nd, the Habsburgs tore it down, to prevent further opposition.
For a few years, they invite our foundation to celebrate the memory of the 1848 revolution and freedom-fight. The place is beautiful, though the middle of March is cold and the vegetation around is not yet green.
