The Roman Catholic Church provides the name of one of his Saints to the Baptized who should be his/her ideal and his/her patron in the matters with God. This is the main forename, in Hungary called "Christian name", given to a child at the baptism or "christening".I got my christian name from Saint Ladislaus, in Hungarian (Szent) Laszlo, who was the 5th christian King of Hungary in the 11st Century.Zólyom - in Slovak Zvolen - on 29 July 1095 King (Saint) Laszlo died here in the castle.
Although Slovakia is very rich in caves-this one is unique because it's a part of a large cave which is located in Hungary and known as Baradla barlang in Aggtelek National Park . Apart from all attractions typical for caves , you can also have a ride by boat along the river. What is more, it's on the list of World's Heritage.How to get there? When you drive from Roznava to Tornala along the road No 50 , in Plesivec you must turn left into the road 587. The cave will be on your left.
Discovered the location of the ruins of this castle when driving back from Trencin, Slovakia and was looking at some other ruins. On the map was the location of this site and thought why not. Follow the signs to Cachtice and then you will see signs to "hrad". You will drive up a long winding road and you hope that no other cars come down. At the end the paved road goes to dirt and this is where you have to park. You still can't see anything so you have to get out and walk and follow the well trodden path. After 10 minutes walking you come to the spectacular ruins and you can walk all over the place exploring.It wasn't until I got home and looked the place up the net, that I discovered Dragonheart was filmed there (not that I think that was a good movie!!!!). It also has some very colourful history. Countess Elizabeth Báthory said to be the worst female serial killer of history lived...
Slovakians seem to love Open Air museums .. I found there are quite a few with original and reconstructed houses from the 19th and 18th century, which show how people lived and worked in Slowakia a hundred years ago. Kysuce museum is in a beautiful setting - though it is a bit difficult to reach and not exactly well-signposted. If you go from Bratislava o the High Tatra, take the Zilina turnoff to Cadca and then the Stara/Nova Bystrica turnoff. In Nova Bystrica look for the "Skansen" signs - they mean the museum. Worthwile detour.
The next building overlooking the town is a baroque Calvary on one of the hills surrounding the town. The chapels are being renovated; a very special is the monumental building on the top of the hill which looks like a large church. In fact there are only two towers and a small chapel between them.
A nice place for a walk after eating at Matej(walk up the same street) , it's in the area of Academy of Mining and Forestry. The garden was started in 1911 and has some specimens of rare in this part of Europe trees
Not very big city located in the heart of Stiavnicke Vrchy. Beautiful old centre but unfortunately only partly renovated so far.Banska Stiavnica is very old-it was mentioned in 11th century for the first time , and for ages it was famous for its mines of gold and silver- in the upper part of the city there's a Museum of Mining. Now seems to be a bit sleepy, but very nice. To reach Banska Stiavnica one should turn right half way driving from Ziar nad Hronom to Zvolen. (road signs to Banska Stiavnica or Levice)
Vihorlat is located in north-eastern part of Slovakia, north off Zemplinska Sirava. We didn't have much time so we made only one-day trip to the top of Sninsky Kamien and we were very glad we did it. After leaving the car at the parking zone we started walking up the road and after about a quarter we reached a lake called Morskie Oko, which was full of trouts.Then we followed the marked route up the hill covered in trees. It took us about two or three hours to reach the top of the mountain. Picturesque views, not many people and wonderful weather made this day fabulous!To get there:from the road on the northern side of Zemplinska Sirava turn left to Remetske Hamre (accessible also by bus) and drive along the road until you reach a parking zone.Important:take something to drink and eat as there's no place to buy this stuff.
A small town, not very popular with tourists which has been redecorated recently. Situated in north-east Slovakia by the side road No 77 into which you have to turn in Svidnik from road No 73 leading from Polish-Slovakian border crossing to Kosice. A beautiful market square with a magnificent XV th century church of St. Egid, very worth seeing because of several Reinessance altars inside.From Bardejov you can make a short trip to famous spa in Bardejovske Kupele.
