Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the city of Trenčín. Head east on the road E50 (also known as the D1 motorway) towards the town of Nové Mesto nad Váhom. Continue for about 22 kilometers, and then take exit 202 toward the town of Vršatské Podhradie. Follow the signs to Vršatské Podhradie, which will lead you through scenic countryside roads. The drive should take approximately 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Vršatské Podhradie, look for parking options, as there are designated areas near the site.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, begin your journey from Trenčín's main bus or train station. Take a bus towards Vršatské Podhradie; you may need to check the local timetable for current schedules, as there are limited direct buses. The bus ride usually takes around 30-45 minutes. Once you arrive at the Vršatské Podhradie bus stop, follow the signs directing you to the historical site of Vrsatec, which is about a 15-minute walk from the stop. Ensure you purchase a ticket before boarding the bus, as this typically costs between 1 to 2 euros.

• Bicycle

  For the more adventurous travelers, cycling is also an option. You can rent a bicycle in Trenčín and take the route that leads to Vršatské Podhradie. Follow the same roads as you would for the car journey, but be prepared for some inclines. The bike ride will take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on your cycling speed. There are some beautiful landscapes along the way, so it's a great way to explore the region. Make sure to wear a helmet and follow traffic rules.
