Geocache Description:


SK:
    Hrad Ostry Kamen bol postavený v 13. storoci na ochranu zapadnej hranice Uhorska a tzv. ceskej cesty, veducej z Budina do ceskych krajin.
V blizkosti hradu sa v maji 1704 sa odohrala bitka medzi rakoczyovskymi povstalcami a cisarskou armadou, ktora skoncila utekom a nakoniec obklucenim cisarskych vojsk. Tazko poskodený hrad posledni majitelia-Palffyovci opustili a hrad odvtedy pustne.
