Spiš Castle, located in eastern Slovakia, is one of the largest castle complexes in Central Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It dates back to the 12th century and was built on a limestone hilltop overlooking the town of Spišské Podhradie. The castle served various functions over the centuries, including as a fortress, administrative center, and residence for noble families. Its strategic location made it an important military stronghold. Despite undergoing several reconstructions and expansions, it fell into disrepair in the 18th century and is now largely in ruins. However, it remains a popular tourist attraction due to its historical significance and commanding presence.

One of the oldest roads in the state, Fort Road was originally built by the federal government after Fort Ridgely was completed in 1853-54. Supplies were shipped from Fort Snelling to Traverse des Sioux, then transported by wagon to Fort Ridgely.

Nicollet County Road 5 runs more than 42 miles from its eastern terminus at its intersection with US Highway 169 in St Peter to the Renville County line. Old Fort Road presumably extended from Traverse des Sioux, although the portion running through the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College has been blocked off. Fort Road as an address runs from the western edge of St Peter to the end of CR-5.

In an ideal world, a paved trail would have been installed when the road was refurbished in the early 2010s. This planned geocache trail will have to suffice, but won’t alleviate my anxiety when biking here.
