Near the town of Trencin are the remains of the famous castle of ‘Blood' Countess Elisabeth Bathory, (website: www.slovakheritage.org/Castles/cachtice.htm) reputed to have murdered hundreds of young women in the 17th century. And 70km (43.5 miles) northeast of Trencin, Bojnice Castle (tel: (046) 543 0624 ; website: www.bojnicecastle.sk) offers an international festival of ghosts and spirits in the spring, and the town boasts spas, falconry shows and a zoo.
