Bodoň, Medieval castle ruins in Sigord area, Slovakia
The remains of Bodoň Castle stand on a round rock formation, reaching an elevation of 855 meters above sea level in eastern Slovakia.
Built by nobleman Budun of Ploské in the 13th century, the castle provided refuge during Tartar invasions before its eventual destruction and abandonment.
The castle received different names throughout history, including Kerekku meaning Round Rock and Makovica referring to its poppyhead-like shape from afar.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a yellow-marked trail from Zlatá Baňa, with the complete trek covering 12.7 kilometers of forest paths.
The castle plateau measures 52 by 50 meters, featuring remnants of a circular tower and perimeter fortifications surrounded by 20-meter-high rock walls.
