PLACE OF INSPIRATION - KERNAVE

The cultures which have existed in the area for 11,000 years, since the Late Palaeolithic period (9th millennium BC) to this day, left an invaluable heritage: a fortification system of five hill-forts, burial ground with amazing grave goods, the traces of burnt ducal castles and the remains of a town of craftsmen and merchants.
