The romantic ruins of Strecno Castle tower over the Vah river symbolize the feudal power in Central Povazie. Even though it has been a ruin for three centuries, the architecture that remains documents the development of the medieval fortress from the gothic to the baroque. Although the castle was only established in the middle of the 14th century, the site has been inhabited for much longer – archaeological discoveries show that the castle hill was already inhabited in the early Bronze Age.
• Lunch break – traditional barbecue by the Vah river, then continue cycling to the Old Strecno castle, built on top of a 475 m  hill on the right bank of the Vah river near Strečno. Castle was originally used to protect the old road leading to Povazie. It is called the “Old Strecno Castle” as it also has a younger broher, the “Strecno Castle” which was built later.
