En: Jozef stood before the expansive Spišský hrad. Sk: Slnko jemne svietilo na jeho kamenné múry, ktoré sa týčili nad farebnými listami jesenného lesa. En: The sun gently shone on its stone walls, which towered over the colorful leaves of the autumn forest. Sk: Marta a Tomáš stáli vedľa neho, obdivovali majestátnosť hradu. En: Marta and Tomáš stood beside him, admiring the majesty of the castle. Sk: Jozef mal pocit, že dnes je výnimočný deň. En: Jozef felt that today was a special day. Sk: Jeho srdce túžilo po spojení s minulosťou, po spojení s jeho slovenskými koreňmi. En: His heart yearned for a connection to the past, a connection to his Slovak roots. Sk: Jozef si niekedy pripadal ako cudzinec vo vlastnej krajine. En: Jozef sometimes felt like a stranger in his own country. Sk: O Slovensku vedel len málo, a preto dúfal, že dnešná návšteva zmierni jeho neistoty. En: He knew little about Slovensko, and so he hoped that today's visit would ease his uncertainties. Sk: V hĺbke duše sa obával, že ho ani Spišský hrad nedokáže naplniť pocitom príslušnosti. En: Deep down, he feared that even Spišský hrad would not fill him with a sense of belonging. Sk: Rozhodol sa však vyskúšať. En: However, he decided to try. Sk: Dnes nepôjde sám, ale sám si vybral občas túru so sprievodcom. En: Today, he wouldn't go alone but chose a guided tour for himself. Sk: Sprievodca bol starší pán s bielymi vlasmi a srdečným úsmevom. En: The guide was an older man with white hair and a warm smile. Sk: Hovoril pokojne, no jeho slová mali moc preniesť všetkých do minulosti. En: He spoke calmly, yet his words had the power to transport everyone into the past. Sk: Rozprával o udatných rytieroch, o kráľoch a kráľovnách, ktorí prechádzali tými istými chodbami. En: He talked about brave knights, kings, and queens who walked the same corridors. Sk: Jozef počúval a snažil sa načúvať nielen ušami, ale aj srdcom. En: Jozef listened, trying to listen not only with his ears, but also with his heart. Sk: Stáli v sále, ktorou kedysi prechádzali mocní ľudia. En: They stood in a hall once traversed by powerful people. Sk: Jozef cítil zvláštnu energiu. En: Jozef felt a strange energy. Sk: Naplnil ho pocit pokojnej sily a nečakaného spojenia. En: He was filled with a sense of peaceful strength and an unexpected connection. Sk: Cítil ducha svojich predkov, ktorí mu akoby cez stáročia pripomínali, kam patrí. En: He felt the spirit of his ancestors, reminding him through the centuries where he belonged. Sk: Tá naša skupinka vystúpala až na vrchol hradnej veže. En: Their little group climbed to the top of the castle tower. Sk: Vietor jemne pohyboval listami stromov a krajina naokolo bola ako z pohľadnice. En: The wind gently moved the leaves of the trees, and the landscape around them was like a postcard. Sk: Mozaika polí, lesov a dediniek sa rozprestierala pod nimi. En: A mosaic of fields, forests, and villages spread out beneath them. Sk: Jozef si uvedomil, že sú to tie isté miesta, na ktoré sa kedysi pozerali aj jeho predkovia. En: Jozef realized that these were the same places his ancestors once gazed upon. Sk: "Drahí priatelia," ozval sa sprievodca, "tento hrad je srdcom našej histórie. En:...
