In reply to Travel with Kevin and Ruth. We heard and read about Corvin but decided not to go because it sounded like it wasn't restored authentically, i.e. is was made to look more like the 19th century restorers thought a medieval castle should look like. Your post, though, makes me regret not going there!

You didn’t miss too much of Deva Castle as you can only walk around the outside of it. The whole inside is blocked off due to to the fact it has deteriorated too much to be safe. The views were good from up there though, even though it was a bit foggy when we were there last November. Corvin Castle was fantastic though and not too much further away. http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2016/11/now-this-is-castle.html

In reply to malaysianmeanders. I bet they were, but you can't take risks like that!

Oh my! What an unexpected adventure. I probably would have detoured too with such an intriguing description. Too bad you didn’t get to see the inside of the castle. We also had our weekend plans disrupted by lightening. I had taken my Girl Scout troop to do a high ropes course, but they heard thunder just as we were about to put on harnesses. No hanging off of a tall metal tower for us. The girls were very disappointed.

As I started reading your article I thought “oh, the joys of taking a detour!” Then the storm hit…I am just glad you made it safe and sound, but I did chuckle a few times at your narrative. Great post!!

Sometimes you get what you need. You’ll have to revisit someday to get what you want. Great story!

Crazy story! I have been on situation were I have had to cancel situations because of the weather. Sometimes, it has not been easy but safety should be first. And, that lady taking the selfie. Wow, people get into some weird situations! #TPThursday

In reply to Anita and Richard @ No Particular Place To Go. Glad you liked it! I love watching lightning from inside a safe, comfortable, dry place. This wasn't any of those things. But you're right: mishaps make for good stories afterwards!

In reply to jane. And since Deva Castle is pretty much just a ruin, I doubt I would have anything to write about it!

I watched your video and almost laughed when I saw the people getting out of the cable car – they looked very relieved. And that was before the storm! I love thunder and lightening storms but only from the safety of a sheltered place, warm and dry. Travel plans go awry for many reasons but, in this case, you had an entertaining story to share afterwards! Anita
