The national cultural monument lying 8 km easterly from Rožňava above the Krásnohorské Podhradie village. Originally Gothic castle from the beginning of the 14th century is rising over the steep and high conic hill. It was reconstructed in the Renaissance style to a fort and later to a representative noble seat. The castle was inhabited as late as 1812. The last owner D. Andrássy changed it to the family line museum and since 1906 it was open to the public according to his last wish. The reconstruction works on the castle started in 1946. Now the castle is open to public as a museum of the historical furniture and equipment.
One of the last owners had built an artistically decorated Secessional mausoleum of several coloured marble brought from all continents for his wife on the edge of the Krásnohorské Podhradie village in 1904.

The Slovak Karst, located on the Slovak and Hungarian border, is surrounded by the South Slovakian, Rožňava and Košice Basins and Volovské Hills. It is the largest karst territory of Slovakia. The area of 36,100 ha is included in the national park with protection zone of 34,900 ha.
The Slovak Karst consists of 7 plateaux: Koniarska Plateau, Plešivská Plateau, Silická Plateau, Horný vrch, Zádielska Plateau, Jasovská Plateau and Dolný vrch. Jelšavský karst is adjacent on the western edge. The Slovak Karst is formed mostly by Triassic limestones and dolomites reaching the thickness of 400-500 m in the southern part and divided by deep canyons of the Slaná and Štítnik rivers, as well as by Zádielsky and Hájsky brook. The plateaux are full of dolines, springs, caves and abysses.
Rare thermophilic flora with endemitic plants is growing here (steppe and forest-steppe zone type). Marked tourist trails connect the most beautiful karst phenomena and attractive valleys. Three caves are developed as classical show caves Domica Cave, Jasovská Cave and Gombasecká Cave the fourth cave open to public is the Krásnohorská Cave.
Silická plateau: Domica and Kečovo Karren Fields, interesting flora, hiking, cycling

Vážení návštevníci, Brestovská jaskyňa bude z prevádzkových dôvodov dňa 21.4.2026 pre verejnosť uzavretá. Ospravedlňujeme sa, ak vám to spôsobilo zmenu plánu.
Vážené učiteľky a učitelia!
Plánujete školský výlet? Aj keď vstupy zatiaľ vopred nerezervujeme, školské skupiny vybavujeme priebežne. Ak sa kapacita oficiálneho vstupu naplní, podľa prevádzkových možností umožníme pre školy vstupy aj mimo stanoveného času. Naším cieľom je, aby ste u nás nečakali dlhšie, než je nevyhnutné. Tešíme sa na vašu návštevu!
