Sirotčí hrádek
A small castle ruin on a rock peak above Klentnice village. From the top of the rock you can look over the Pálava Hills and the vineyards.
The Orphans' Castle ruins date from the 13th century. Its surviving walls blend into the rock, and it sits on a limestone peak beside Klentnice village, at the southern end of the Pálava Hills. From the car park in the village it takes about 15 minutes to reach the top of the rock, where the views are wide, including Mikulov's Holy Hill and Děvín. It is often combined with the Pálava ridge hike. Entry is free. The top of the rock has no railings, so take care.
