From Bratislava: Dracula Nosferatu - Orava Castle Day Tour

Visit Dracula's castle in Orava, enjoy traditional Slovak cheeses and dishes at the shepherd's hut and make a stop in another Slovak city such as Banská Bystrica, Kremnica, Nitra or Žilina
Visit with us the magical Orava Castle, built on a steep cliff, in the middle of unspoiled nature. Orava Castle (Slovak: Oravský hrad, German: Arwaburg, Hungarian: Árva vára) is a castle situated on a high rock above Orava river in the village of Oravský Podzámok, Slovakia. The castle's oldest parts being built in the thirteenth century and the most recent parts in the early seventeenth century. Many scenes of the 1922 film Nosferatu were filmed here, the castle representing Count Orlok's Transylvanian castle.
Orava Castle stands on the site of an old wooden fortification, built after the Mongol invasion of Hungary of 1241. Its history follows a familiar pattern of construction, destruction, reconstruction, fire, various ownerships and territorial squabbles. The original design was in Romanesque and Gothic style; it was later reconstructed as a Renaissance and Neo-Gothic structure, hugging the shape of the 520-metre spur on which it perches.

After visiting the castle, we usually taste traditional Slovak dishes, fresh sheep and cow cheeses and traditional Slovak cakes at the shepherd's hut near the town of Ružomberok.
