Volunteers will be helping with revitalizing the old ruins of the small Kysak Castle in eastern part of Slovakia. Kysak Castle was a medieval castle. Nowadays there are only ruins left underground. Be aware that you will not be able to see the castle. The town Kysak is trying to preserve cultural heritage. The goal of the camp will be to explore the foundations of the castle tower, which are located below the surface. The work will be part of the archeological research.
