Where to go on a trip Chľaba

You can enjoy unique views of the surrounding nature not only through hiking in Tatry. Perhaps you will put the smallest and southernmost Slovak mountain range, Burda, also known as Kováčovské kopce, on your bucket list. It is precisely in this location that the tourist-frequented Vyhliadka skaly is situated.

This lowest, warmest, and driest place in Slovakia was known as Kováčovské kopce in the past. It is formed by volcanic rocks, mainly volcanic conglomerates, sandstones, and breccias. Thanks to its composition, you can find amazing rock formations here in the form of a rock tower, a rock window, or their various conical shapes. The southern slopes of the mountain range have steep rock walls. Getting to one of them is possible via a marked hiking trail leading from Kamenica nad Hronom. During the walk, you can observe wonderful floodplain forests. Listen to the chirping of birds, relax your mind in a unique natural environment, and recharge your inner energy for new days.

In the distance, you can spot several attractions of Štúrovo. From here, you can also see Most Márie Valérie or the thermal bath. In favorable weather conditions, Hungarian Ostrihom (Esztergom) with its basilica will also reveal itself to you.

The viewpoint was declared a national nature reserve precisely because of the richest thermophilic flora in Slovakia. Nature lovers will notice several species of protected plants during their journey to it, which you will not easily see elsewhere in Central Europe. An attractive ornamental grass called kavyľa (feather grass) might also catch your interest.

The Romanesque rotunda with a circular floor plan and an internal apse stands on the site of a now-vanished Premonstratensian monastery complex in the village of Bíňa, in southern Slovakia. It is assumed that this sanctuary was built around 1200 and served as a baptistery, that is, a place for the baptism of adults. Its interior is decorated with magnificent frescoes from the 13th and 14th centuries. The unique architectural solution of the rotunda has no parallel in Slovakia. The inner walls are divided by twelve niches with semicircular endings, symbolizing the twelve messengers of God.

The cylindrical brick structure has an inner diameter of 720 cm, and its walls reach a thickness of up to one meter. The dome-shaped roof is topped with the apostolic double cross of Saint Stephen. The foundations of the rotunda are built from unusually carved quarry stones joined by lime mortar and clay containing brick fragments. Documents from 1683 mention that the sanctuary was severely damaged and fell into disrepair for more than 70 years. Its restoration began only in 1755, when it was modified into the Baroque style. Therefore, the dating of this unusual house of worship was debated for a long time. Its true Romanesque origin was discovered only by chance. Following the bombardment during World War II in 1945, the Baroque plaster fell off, revealing the original medieval masonry.

Shortly after the war, in 1954, the renovation of the original Romanesque elements began, along with a comprehensive heritage restoration. Romanesque windows were exposed, while the newer Baroque ones were bricked up. After removing the Baroque coating, Romanesque paintings of exceptionally high artistic and technical quality were revealed. These are preserved fragments of a fresco depicting a group of twelve apostles. The figures, approximately one meter tall, are rendered in delicate shades of pale ochre, gold ochre, grayish-green, light blue, and pink. The faces of God's heralds are noble, radiating deep spirituality. The restoration also uncovered part of a votive painting depicting an adoring knight, a crusader. Among the Romanesque architectural elements, the portal on the southeastern side, a circular window in the western part, and three slit windows facing east have been preserved in their original state.

The exterior plaster also underwent reconstruction, using the same smoothing technique applied during its original construction in the 12th century. To smooth the plaster, a metal tool heated in fire was used, which scorched the plaster with the hot metal. In 2006, archaeological research uncovered part of a Romanesque sculpture representing part of a lion's head, which presumably stood in front of the portal leading to the monastery church. Directly beneath the foundations, graves dating back to the Great Moravian era were discovered.

The complex includes the now non-existent Kaplnka sv. Kataríny and the twin-tower Gothic Kostol nanebovzatia Panny Márie. After exploring this unusual sacral structure, head straight to the pools of Termálne kúpalisko Vadaš and treat yourself to true summer refreshment.
