Om

Raske fakta: Det 40 meter dype kassematnettverket under slottet strekker seg over 200 meter med underjordiske tunneler. Et enkelt kanonskudd fra en ungarsk forsvarer under beleiringen i 1552 slo ut to osmanske pasjaer samtidig.

Høydepunkter: Smak på legenden selv i slottets vinkjeller, hvor du kan prøve den robuste rødvinen som sies å ha gitt forsvarerne supermenneskelig styrke under beleiringen i 1552. Originale osmanske kanonkuler som fortsatt sitter inne i festningsmurene, gjør at det middelalderske slaget føles sjokkerende nærværende.

Insidertips

Skip the wax museum inside and head straight for the underground tunnel system and panoramic tower instead.
Bring sturdy walking shoes because the cobblestone paths and uneven stairs inside the casemates get slippery.
The best photo spot is from the eastern bastion at golden hour, with the entire city of Eger spreading out below.
Plan at least 20 minutes for the short but steep hike up from the city center to the castle gates.
