TOPOLCIANSKY HRAD
Tento královský hrad z 13. storocia sa stal strediskom topolcianskeho hradného panstva. V 15. storocí ho obsadili husiti, v case tureckých vpádov plnil dôležitú obrannú funkciu. Zaciatkom 18. storocia ho pocas Rákócziho povstania silne poškodili cisárske vojská. Hoci ho neskôr opravili, postupne zacal pustnút.
V súcasnosti je jeho dominantou v romantickom slohu postavená hlavná veža a pomerne dobre zachované opevnenie.
Pohlady z vyhliadky pod hradom sú ako z rozprávky. Úchvatný je najmä výhlad východným smerom na takmer celú Hornú Nitru, na Tribec so Zoborom, na severovýchode Strážovské vrchy a na severozápade bocný hreben Považského Inovca.
Nedaleko hradu je jaskyna Opálená skala a zvyšky halštadského hradiska na Úhrade.
Prístup: autom až pod hrad, odtial pešo asi 5 min., pešo z obce Podhradie po modrej a zelenej znacke asi 15 min., z Topolcian vedie cervená cyklistická trasa

TOPOLCANY CASTLE
This royal castle from the 13th century became the centre of the castle estate of Topolcany. In the 15th century it was occupied by the Hussites and later it fulfilled an important task in defence against the Turks. During Rákoczis rebellion it was severely damaged by the Imperial troops and although it was later reconstructed, it fell in decay.
Today its main tower in Romantic style with well preserved fortifications dominates in the horizon. Beware, the entrance to the ruins is at ones own risk!
The views from the platform below the Castle are unique. Above all the eastern side where almost the whole upper part of the region Nitra, mountain range Tribec with its dominant Zobor and mountains Strážovské vrchy in the north-east, as well as the side ridge of mountain range Považský Inovec are captivating.
The cave Opálená skala and remains of the Hallstat settlement at Úhrada are within reach as well.
Access: on foot from the village Pohradie following the blue and green hiking marks (it takes about 15 minutes), driving is possible almost as far as the Castle. Red marked cyclist route leads from the town Topolcany.
