Ostrý, Mountain summit in Little Carpathians, Slovakia.

The steep rocky peak of Ostrý reaches 576 meters above sea level, making it the highest elevated castle location in Little Carpathians.

First recorded in 1273, Ostrý Castle served as a border fortification to protect Hungarian territories and major trade routes through the mountains.

Local residents maintain tales about a treasure chamber within the castle walls where an elderly woman became trapped due to her excessive greed.

The hiking trail to Ostrý starts at Buková reservoir and covers 2.9 kilometers with an elevation gain of 287 meters through forest paths.

The castle ruins, integrated into natural rock formations, provide views extending across the surrounding landscape in every cardinal direction.
