Zbojnícky Castle

The remains of the ruins of Zbojnícký hrad or Soľnohrad are located in Slanské vrchy at the western foot of Tri chotáre hill in the cadastre of Ruská Nová Ves. The castle was probably built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries and was accessible only from the east. The remains of the stone castle are on a rocky ridge measuring 45x35 m, which has steep slopes on the north, south and west sides. Its descent to the east created two natural terraces during the construction of the castle. The upper castle on the edges of the rock plateau was protected by a stone perimeter fortification, of which a 130 cm fragment has been preserved on the south side. You can get to the castle directly from Prešov along the red sign towards Ruska Nova Ves, from there you continue until you come under Zbojnícky Castle. From the rock plateau there is a wonderful view of the surroundings.
