Visited a fairytale castle in Slovakia

I visited Bojnice Castle in Slovakia, which is one of the top three fairytale castles in my mind. Built before 1113, it was closed on Sundays 😓, so I could only walk around the perimeter. There is a moat outside the castle. Unfortunately, it was drizzling that day, so the photos turned out quite dark. I also saw an old woman with an owl outside the castle. Unfortunately, due to the language barrier, no one talked to her, so I couldn't tell if she was selling the owl, charging for photos, or just taking a walk with it. 🗓️Itinerary: I took a train from Bratislava N. Mesto station to Prievidza. After getting off, I saw a bus stop. I asked some students, and they let me follow them onto the bus. However, the driver didn't accept cash, and I only had EUR 10. The driver didn't speak English, and the students only knew basic English. So, it was left unresolved. I didn't even check the bus number. But when I noticed the route deviating on Google Maps, I got off immediately. I walked another 15 minutes on my own. When leaving, I walked to the train station myself. According to Google Maps, it should take 45 minutes, but I took nearly two hours as I stopped to take photos, wandered into a forest, and went shopping at a supermarket. Remember to check the train schedule carefully, as there are only one or two trains per day.
