Ilava and the small Poruba stream on the left bank of the Váh with the gleaming cliffs Vršatské bradlá and the Chmel'ová peak (926 m) far off. Vršatec castle was built on a cliff at the south-western end of this mountain (on the left here). The inscriptions supply more information: right of Ilava we see Pruské on the opposite bank of the Váh; left of Pruské we find the green Babina hill (444 m) below Vršatské bradlá; the neighbouring Bohunice village lies farther away on the riverside. - Bibliography: Strážovské vrchy. - For information on Ilava, see:
