Access to the castle for motorized tourists: (from Čabradský Vrbovek)
Čabraď Castle can be accessed by car from the village of Čabradský Vrbovok.
You can get to this village by turning off the main road Krupina – Šahy towards the village of Bzovík.
There is a crossroads behind Bzovík where you need to turn right towards Drieňovo. It is about 18 kilometers from Krupina.
In Čabradský Vrbovek, turn off the main road towards the church and below it is the road to the Konské pass (keep the church on your left). There, the asphalt road ends after 4 km. You have to leave your car here and continue on foot. The road to the valley is quite broken and there is a traffic ban there. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it goes all the way down into the valley. You really do go down to the castle! Don’t pay attention to the two left turns up the hill – otherwise you will get lost! At a comfortable pace, you will walk down to the valley of the Litava River in about 40 minutes. After a while, you will reach the bridge and 100m beyond it is a church, along which there is a path to the castle. The entire route is marked with a blue tourist sign.

From the church, continue straight on the asphalt road to the Konské pass. There, a forest road continues into the valley, you have to keep going down. It is marked with a blue tourist sign. From the village, it is approximately 8 km to the castle.
