MORSKÉ OKO LAKE

“THE PEARL OF THE VIHORLAT MOUNTAINS” – THE GREAT VIHORLAT LAKE, ALSO KNOWN AS THE MORSKÉ OKO (SEA EYE), HAS THIS ATTRIBUTE WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE FURTHER COMMENTARY. THE ORIGINAL HUNTING MANOR HOUSE IS INHERENTLY CONNECTED WITH IT. THE NEARBY VILLAGE OF REMETSKÉ HÁMRE IS CONNECTED WITH AN IRON PRODUCTION. THERE WERE ALSO REPRESENTATIVE MANOR HOUSES. AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE MUNICIPALITY HAS IN COMMON WITH THE NEW YORK CITY?

ZEMPLÍNSKA ŠÍRAVA

THIS WATER RESERVOIR, BUILT IN THE 1960S, IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE “EAST SLOVAK SEA”. BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT WAS HERE BEFORE? HOW DID THE LAND THAT WAS FLOODED WITH ŠÍRAVA WATERS LOOK LIKE? UNDER THE WATER SURFACE THERE ARE ALSO REMNANTS OF A MILITARY FIELD AIRPORT. AND WHEN WE CONCENTRATE, PERHAPS WE CAN ALSO HEAR THE SOUND OF THE CHURCH BELLS, WHICH – ACCORDING TO LEGEND – STOOD IN THE ORIGINAL VILLAGE CALLED BLATÁ...

SENDEROV

SLIGHT CLIMB, WIDE FOREST PATH, CAPTIVATING ENVIRONMENT, WHISPERING TREES... AND SUDDENLY A MASSIVE WOODEN CROSS – IT MARKS THE NOW RECONSTRUCTED FOUNDATIONS OF AN ANCIENT CHURCH, FROM WHERE THERE IS A WONDERFUL VIEW OF THE SURROUNDINGS. THEY SAID THERE USED TO BE MONKS WHO FOUNDED LOCAL VINEYARDS... DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE LOCALITY HAS IN COMMON WITH ST ANDREW AND WHY THE NEARBY WELL IS CALLED ŠIKĽA?

VINNÉ LAKE

TODAY, THIS WATER AREA IN THE FOREST EMBRACES IS KNOWN AS A LAKE. IN REALITY, HOWEVER, IT IS A POND THAT WAS BUILT AT THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY BY THE NOBLE FAMILY OF SZTÁRAYS IN THE MARSHLAND. DO YOU KNOW WHO “MADE A MISTAKE” AND THE POND SUDDENLY CHANGE TO A “RELICT LAKE NATURALLY DAMMED”? AND SINCE WHEN IS IT USED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES? UNTIL RECENTLY, THERE WAS ALSO A ROOFED WOODEN PLATFORM IN THE CENTRE OF THE LAKE, SERVING TO RELAX OF SWIMMERS...

CASTLE OF VINNÉ

DON´T BE MISTAKEN – CASTLE RUINS LIVE! MIDDLE AGES ARE HERE... LISTEN TO THE LEGEND OF THE MYSTERIOUS ALCHEMIST, DISCOVER THE STORY OF DISCOVERING THE TRUE CASTLE TREASURE, SEE THE UNIQUE VINEYARD AND FINALLY GO TO THE ORIGINAL WINE CELLAR... THE WINES OF THE REGION ARE REALLY GREAT...

WOODEN CHURCH IN RUSKÁ BYSTRÁ

NORTHEASTERN SLOVAKIA – THESE ARE HILLS, DENSE FORESTS AND WOODEN CHURCHES OF THE EASTERN RITE. “TSERKVA” IN RUSKÁ BYSTRÁ, BUILT IN THE 18TH CENTURY IN A DOMINANT PLACE, HAS AN UNCONVENTIONALLY ARRANGED ICONOSTASIS. IN ADDITION, THIS CHURCH IS REGISTERED IN THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST. CLOSE SURROUNDINGS ALSO HAVE A CAPTIVATING ATMOSPHERE...

BEŇATINA LAKE

CHARMING PLITVICE LAKES IN SLOVAKIA? YES, IT IS POSSIBLE... NEAR THE SCHENGEN, SLOVAK-UKRAINIAN BORDER. THE TURQUOISE WATER OF THE OLD FLOODED QUARRY WITH ITS BREATH TAKING ROCKY SCENERY WILL SURELY “BLOW YOUR BREATH” AT THE FIRST LOOK FOR MANY VISITORS. AND ALTHOUGH THERE IS SWIMMING AND DIVING ON YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY, EVERYONE CAN SEE THE WHALE... JUST LOOK MORE CAREFULLY...

THE FERTILE VOLCANIC SOILS OF THE SOUTHWEST SLOPES OF THE VIHORLAT MOUNTAINS AROUND THE TOWN OF SOBRANCE CREATE IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR VINE GROWING. AND HERE, IN ORECHOVÁ, IS THE PLACE OF THE KNOWN WINERY IN WHOLE SLOVAKIA, WHERE TOP WHITE AND RED WINES OF VARIED KINDS ARE PRODUCED. DO NOT MISS THE VINEYARD TOUR AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO TASTE THE NOBLE WINE ON SITE...

CASTLE IN PODHOROĎ

FIRST YOU CAN SEE ONLY A SMALL HILL WITH AN OLD QUARRY AND A SPECIAL ELEVATION MARK. AFTER A SHORT CLIMB TO THE TOP, THE RUINS OF THE EASTERNMOST SITUATED CASTLE (MORE PRECISELY THE SMALL CASTLE) IN SLOVAKIA WILL APPEAR. REMARKABLE ARE THE REMAINS OF THE RATHER MASSIVE RESIDENTIAL TOWER AND THE CASTLE COURTYARD ITSELF, WHERE ANCIENT ROMAN COINS HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED IN THE PAST. UNLIKE THIS TROUBLED TREASURE, BEAUTIFUL VIEWS ARE SURE...
