Súľov Castle itself is not impressive in itself – it is just a small ruin, but thanks to the beautiful view from the rocks, it is one of the best views of the whole area. In addition, the famous rock formation Gothic Gate is nearby. The route itself is only two kilometers long, but thanks to the ascent and terrain, it is one of the most challenging within the rocks
