Pohronie — above the river roadPohronie — nad cestou pri rieke

Revište: The Toll Gate of the HronRevište: mýtna brána Hrona

Slovakia’s silver and gold left the mountains along the Hron, and every castle on that river was in some sense a hand on the money. Revište stands on a rock above the water near Žarnovica, close enough to the road to make its point, and it is one of the easiest big ruins in the country to reach — twenty minutes up from the village, and you are inside the walls.Slovenské striebro a zlato odchádzali z hôr popri Hrone a každý hrad na tejto rieke bol v istom zmysle rukou položenou na peniazoch. Revište stojí na skale nad vodou pri Žarnovici, dosť blízko cesty na to, aby bolo jasné, o čo ide — a patrí k najľahšie dostupným veľkým zrúcaninám u nás: dvadsať minút hore z dediny a ste za múrmi.
