Where to go on a trip Hanušovce nad Topľou

We invite you to a tour of one of the most beautiful and best-preserved Baroque manor houses in Slovakia. Kaštieľ v Hanušovciach nad Topľou manor house is hidden in the wonderful greenery of the adjacent park. Originally a Renaissance two-story building from the 17th century, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century. The facades of the manor house are lined with corner towers terminated by bell-shaped domes. The picturesque little town of Hanušovce nad Topľou is located in the Prešov Region, in the Vranov nad Topľou district. An attentive visitor will discover as many as two manor houses here. In the larger one, which is under the founding jurisdiction of the Prešov Self-Governing Region, there is a museum and an archaeopark. It is definitely worth visiting and looking at the exhibitions located within it.

There are only few museums in Slovakia with original period furniture. Within the local exhibition Dobovo zariadené interiéry a zabudnutý rod Dessewffy, you have a unique opportunity to peek into the bedroom and salons, where you can admire the beauty and delicacy of small objects, historical furniture, art objects, and paintings from past centuries. Will you be charmed by the richly decorated wedding cap, the magnificent tile stove, or hunting trophies and taxidermy mounts? Or will it be the pseudo-Baroque salon furnished in the Art Deco style? Perhaps you are among visitors who will be more appealed to by Historická expozícia. In it, you will learn about the fates of medieval castles in the Vranov region, the cholera epidemic and uprisings, as well as the fates of people affected by both World War I and World War II. Especially impressive are the period uniforms and displays of deactivated ammunition. Prírodovedecká expozícia will appeal particularly to visitors interested in the beauty and mysteries of our nature. Mesozoic ammonites, the Tertiary sea floor, fragments of extinct Quaternary mammals, as well as exhibits of current animals of our forests will captivate not only young explorers and help them understand how the flora and fauna of our floodplains in the Topľa and Ondava river basins evolved. The treasures of human settlement in this area are documented by the museum's Archaeological Exhibition - Archaeopark. It contains items from the Paleolithic era all the way to modern times. Will you be captivated by the Neolithic Venus figurine, the hand axe, the Celtic fibula, or will it be the numerous animations and engagingly processed virtual reality? In the Renaissance annex of Malý kaštieľ, you can admire Etnografická expozícia capturing the traditional folk culture of the region. A wooden cradle, flax linen production and other crafts, or a traditionally furnished peasant room will bring closer to you the hard life of people who earned their bread by their own calluses and sweat of their brow.

In the small shop, visitors have the opportunity to buy various souvenirs and publications created by the museum staff. If the atmosphere of the manor house complemented by rich stucco decoration has appealed to you, you have the opportunity to rent the premises and hold a family celebration, lecture, or concert here. Or could it be straight a wedding ceremony and reception in a magnificent style? You will look back at unforgettable and luxurious photographs from the manor house and park with nostalgia for many years to come.

After a demanding morning in the museum, you will certainly find it refreshing to cool off at Kúpalisko Ragleng swimming pool or you will enjoy horseback riding at Ranč Breziny ranch in nearby Pavlovice. You can listen to the Voice of the Forest in the huge wooden megaphone in Zlatá Baňa. Perhaps you will be appealed by a trip to nature and Hrad Bodoň castle in Zlatá Baňa.

On the northwestern edge of the Slanské vrchy, which are overgrown with fragrant forest flowers, dense bushes, and massive trees, you can find an interesting place. It is the Hrad Šebeš castle, also known as Šebešský hrad. Today, only ruins remain of it. Upon closer inspection of the map, you will find that it cadastrally belongs to the territory of the village of Podhradík, located in the Prešov district.

When visiting the castle, park your car in the parking lot of the village of Podhradík directly below the castle. From this free parking lot, an educational trail will lead you directly to the castle. The route is easy and accessible on foot throughout the entire year. On 5 information panels, you can learn more about the history of the castle between 1315 and 1528, archaeological research, the restoration of the castle, stone witnesses, as well as the downfall of the castle. This educational trail is used for local history field trips by schools or by tourists who want to enjoy magnificent views of the village and its surrounding pristine nature.

The castle stands at an altitude of 529 m a.s.l. The site has been declared a national cultural monument and an archaeological site featuring a castle from the 13th century. The castle can be found on a hill above the village, the name of which recalls the location of the Podhradie fort. In the past, the castle was built on an 8 m wide and 60 m long steep spur. The attentive eye of a visitor will not miss its foundations built of stone. A circular tower once stood on the edge of the western side. In the eastern part, there was a residential palace along with a defensive wall above the entrance to the castle. There was also a ditch and a rampart fortification.

When exploring the history of this castle, historical sources mention the year 1315. In a deed of donation by King Charles Robert, the territory along with the castle was granted to Thomas's son, Knight Synko. After the demise of this family line, the castle was donated to the city of Košice. The castle permanently ceased to exist in 1550, when the inhabitants of the city of Prešov burned it down. Only ruins remained, which local residents still visit today for recreational purposes.

If you would like to explore other historical monuments of this region, you can subsequently head to Zbojnícky hrad in the village of Ruská Nová Ves. On summer days, you can refresh yourself at the Vodná nádrž Sigord reservoir. In Prešov, in addition to the salt production museum in Solivar, you can look at the stars in the glowing sky at the Hvezdáreň a planetárium. A session in the Soľná jaskyňa salt cave also has excellent effects on the body. After a walk through the historical center and a visit to the Konkatedrála sv. Mikuláša, you can treat yourself to an excellent cup of coffee.

Are you asking yourself how to manage it all? To avoid being under time pressure and rushing through all the attractions, we recommend booking accommodation near Hrad Šebeš.

You can choose from cozy cottages and chalets or affordable private accommodations in Podhradík. We will be happy to help you choose the best accommodation in Slovakia.

Vodná nádrž Sigord reservoir is located near the village of Kokošovce, not far from Prešov, surrounded by beautiful nature. When this water area was being built between 1965 and 1967, the primary focus was on flood protection and irrigation for the needs of the local agricultural cooperative. However, this purpose was soon abandoned, and locals began coming here for recreation. Sigord was so popular that the city of Prešov had a pier built there.

Following the floods in 2008, the reservoir was drained due to its inadequate technical condition. The bottom gradually became overgrown with invasive woody plants. The reservoir was renovated between 2011 and 2012, when it was refilled and over a thousand fish were released into it. The two-hectare dam is currently used primarily by fishermen, but swimming is also possible at one's own risk. A boathouse operates by the water, providing not only summer boating but also winter ice skating, and it organizes cultural, sports, and ecological events throughout the year. Pallet seating and fire pits are prepared for visitors within the boathouse area.

The civic association Čavargy contributed to the development of the area, having built the so-called Sigordské koľečko (Sigord Loop) in 2018 with the help of volunteers, which is an educational trail around the reservoir. It includes three information boards that reveal details about the local fauna, as well as new benches with a view of the water surface. A leisurely walk takes about 30 minutes. In the summer, a tourist train also runs on the route Malý Muk – Sigord Racová and back.

The Vodná nádrž Sigord reservoir is located about 12 km from the center of Prešov. It is also possible to get here by public transport. If you choose to drive, you can park in the parking lot above the boathouse. A recreational center is located near the water, which also provides dining options.

Indoor swimming with attractions is offered by the nearby Aquapark Delňa. Once you have had enough swimming, there are trips to the surrounding area, where you will encounter several castle ruins: Zbojnícky hrad, Bodoň, Šebeš, and Soľnohrad. You can head to Prešov for culture, which truly offers a bit of everything; you will find the Divadlo Jonáša Záborského theater, the Šarišská galéria gallery, and a Calvary with a view of the city.

If you decide to stay near the Vodná nádrž Sigord reservoir, start your search for accommodation directly in Kokošovce, where you can choose from guest houses or cottages. The city of Prešov itself has a wide range of options, where you can book an apartment in the city center or a room in a guest house. Sigord has regained its former popularity and is a place that is lively all year round. Come and experience an interesting holiday here as well.

It could be said that Slovakia is a country of castles and chateaux. However, many of them have been gnawed by the teeth of time, while others were destroyed by hostile armies. Hrad Bodoň, which was built as a defense fort on the western slopes of Slanské vrchy, did not withstand the rampage of Tatar troops either. The first written mention of the fortress dates back to 1285, and as you correctly assume, it bears its name after the Bodoň hill, on which only its remains are located today. The castle ceased to exist in 1299, meaning that it fulfilled its defense function for only a single decade.

The fortress was built on a rocky elevation at an altitude of 855 meters above sea level. Its founder was the nobleman Budun of Ploské. The top of the rock cliff has a square floor plan measuring 52 x 50 meters and formed the living area of the castle. This was protected around the perimeter by boundary walls. In the highest part of the plateau, a circular stone tower with an outer diameter of up to 8 meters was located on the northern side. It is assumed that wooden dwellings and farm buildings stood behind the ramparts.

You can reach the ruins from the village of Abranovce as well as Zlatá Baňa. If you have decided to use the second, easier option, a yellow-marked hiking trail approximately 4 km long will lead you to the castle. The path from Abranovce is somewhat more demanding, but all the more interesting. Approximately one-third of the way up, you will come across a strange natural formation, the so-called Raslavkameň. Several legends are tied to it. The most famous one tells of a young knight from Hrad Bodoň who, against his mother's will, used to meet a commoner girl from Prešov. To prevent soldiers from tracking him down, he shod his horse's horseshoes backward. However, his mother found out and cursed Raslav. He turned to stone on the spot. Locals believe that healing energy radiates from the stone. Whether the stone has magical power is something you must see for yourself.

After a short ascent, you will reach a plateau dominated by a huge rock cliff. Today, the traces of the castle consist only of the remnants of the stone tower and castle fortifications. On the forest clearing below the castle, there are benches where you can rest. For a three-hour trip, in addition to a sufficient amount of water, do not forget to pack sausages and bacon. At the resting area, you will find a large fire pit, which is perfect for a family barbecue.

On the way back from the fort, stop by the unique 4-meter wooden megaphone. Sit inside and enjoy the amplified sounds echoing from the forest. After a demanding hike, treat yourself to a rest in a cozy room of a pleasant guest house. You can view the entire offer of accommodation near Hrad Bodoň on our page accommodation in Zlatá Baňa. The following day, take a trip to the nearby village of Červenica and discover the mysterious underground world of the oldest opal mines in the world. Opals from the Slovenské opálové bane are known for their intense play of colors and are highly valued on world markets for their unique properties. End your stay in the Prešovský kraj region by splashing around in the pools of the summer lido Plaza Beach Solivar. A great alternative during bad weather is the covered Aquapark Delňa Prešov.

Mesto Prešov and its surroundings are traditionally associated with salt mining. Therefore, you may also know Zbojnícky hrad under the name Soľný hrad or Soľnohrad. Its remnants are located in the extravilan of the village of Ruská Nová Ves, in the Prešov district. The castle hill is a part of the Slanské vrchy. The castle stood on the western foothills of the Tri chotáre peak, on the summit of a steep cliff named Zámek. The educational trail called Vodná cesta na Soľnohrad will lead you to the masonry remnants of individual segments of the castle complex.

An old wooden castle stood on the Zámek hill as early as the 9th century. A stone Zbojnícky hrad was built in its place 400 years later. Juraj Bokša had it built, and its primary function was the protection of valuable salt springs in the surroundings. During its existence, the castle complex repeatedly changed owners. It belonged to the Šóš family the longest. Due to disputes over salt, the castle was destroyed in the 16th century by an army from the nearby Šarišský hrad. Historical sources remain silent about the subsequent decades. The fortress is mentioned again only in 1715, when it was demolished based on a resolution of the regional assembly.

Today, you can see the remnants of the perimeter walls of the upper castle, the remains of the palace, half of a square tower, the remnants of the stone perimeter fortification, and the tower of the lower castle on the castle hill. The castle hill has steep cliffs on three sides, which formed a natural defense for the fortification. From the side where the access road led, the castle was protected by a 13 m wide moat. Its remnants up to a depth of 3 meters have been preserved to this day. Preserved terrain traces clearly indicate the original construction of the castle. The rocky plateau simultaneously forms a natural viewpoint, providing a gorgeous view of the panorama of the wide surroundings.

The castle ruin is a popular trip destination for tourists. You can reach the castle hill via the undemanding educational trail Vodná cesta, which leads directly from the village of Ruská Nová Ves. You can manage the entire route in approximately 30 minutes. The remnants of the castle are partially overgrown with vegetation. With inattention, you can easily overlook some parts or mistake them for rocks. Therefore, set aside enough time for your trip. In addition to the atmosphere of ancient history, you will also enjoy the gorgeous natural environment and unique views.

You can combine a trip to the remnants of the castle, which once protected the wealth of this region, with a visit to the Plaza Beach Solivar water park in Prešov or with relaxation at the Delňa aquapark. Be sure not to miss a tour of the Prešov observatory and planetarium and a sightseeing tour of the town's monuments. Entering the Soľná jaskyňa or taking a walk along the local Calvary will certainly also be a unique experience. The attractions of this region are truly diverse. We therefore recommend that you search for accommodation near Zbojnícky hrad and plan an interesting sightseeing stay. Accommodation in Prešov will certainly not disappoint you with its offer of holiday facilities.

Slovakia is among the most beautiful European countries. It is known for its ruggedness, the diversity of its terrain relief, and the richness of both its fauna and flora. This great differentiation is also due to the varying geological bedrock of individual regions. It was precisely the suitable geological bedrock of Slanské vrchy near Prešov that proved to be a unique deposit of precious opal. Come and take a tour of the oldest opal mines in the world. You will find the rock bedrock riddled with tunnels like Swiss cheese on the road between the villages of Zlatá Baňa and Červenica.

The history of the opal mines began to be written presumably in 1409. The first written mention of them dates from this year. Until the discovery of opal deposits in Mexico and Australia, this place was the only location in the world where opal was mined. Opals from the Dubník locality were set into jewelry worn by many female monarchs. Did you know that a necklace created from Slovak opals was even owned by the wife of Emperor Napoleon?

Slovak opals are exceptional for their color and unique brilliance, the likes of which you will not find in any others in the world. The largest opal ever mined in our country can be found in Vienna at the Museum of Natural History. Somewhat smaller specimens are, in turn, housed in Budapest. Since 1922, however, the mines have been closed due to their unprofitability. It took more than 90 years before they were "rediscovered" and began to be used as a mining museum.

Today, you can experience a wonderful tour combined with commentary from the fields of history, geology, and mineralogy, and learn a bit more about the treasures hidden in the heart of Slanské vrchy. The network of intricate underground tunnels reaches over 35 km. A basic 1 km long circuit is open to visitors, filled with points of interest and attractions that will engage children as well. The attractions are expanded with new elements every year, so you will not be bored even during a repeat visit. The guides will guarantee this with their unique approach. Do not expect a boring lecture. Prepare yourself for real fun.

Before entering the mine, they will equip you with a helmet and a flashlight. Its light casting dark shadows will awaken the imagination in your mind. Will you find hidden goblins, Permoníci, in the mine? Will you be afraid to walk through a dark corridor in complete darkness? Will you discover a glowing opal hidden in the rock? These are all questions you can ask yourselves before entering the mine. The area surrounding the mines is also attractive and offers great opportunities for hiking. After your visit, you can stop by a small shop where, in addition to refreshments, you can buy a piece of rock with a real Slovak opal.

To enjoy your day near the mines to the fullest, we recommend that you also do not miss a tour of Lipovecký hrad – Liptovec. Only terrain traces, excavations, ramparts, and moats have been preserved today from what was once a monumental structure. Seeing a giant megaphone with your own eyes is possible near Zlatá Baňa. Here you will find Hlas lesa, a wooden megaphone that conveys the sounds of the forest. For recreation in the summer, you can head to Sigord. It is a water reservoir that will cool down your heated bodies on hot sunny days. In winter, in turn, you can enjoy perfect skiing on the slopes of the Zámutov ski resort.

It is good to reserve a sufficient amount of time for visiting the mines along with other attractions. This will allow you to fully enjoy the overall relaxed atmosphere of your stay. Accommodation near Slovenské opálové bane can also serve you well to keep you close to other attractions. It is great to lay your head at a host's property offering one of the apartments in Červenica, or a cabin hidden in the woods. Rest assured that if you choose from our offer, you will certainly not regret it.

Vodná nádrž Veľká Domaša is rightfully considered the green pearl of eastern Slovakia. It reaches into two districts, Vranov nad Topľou and Stropkov. It extends across the charming Ondavská vrchovina over an impressive 1,422 ha. It ranks as the 4th largest water reservoir in Slovakia. The purpose of its construction was water flow regulation, industrial use, as well as a supply of utility and drinking water. Among other things, it is a very popular and sought-after place for recreation and water sports.

The construction of the water reservoir took 6 years, from February 1962 to December 1967. The creation of Veľká Domaša led to the flooding of 6 villages. Dobrá nad Ondavou, Kelča, Petejovce, Trepec, Veľká Domaša, and Valkov. While diving, you can come across the remaining foundations, walls, and cellars of individual flooded dwellings. Churches were demolished using pyrotechnics, while rare churches in Kelča and Bžany were protected by constructing protective dykes.

The tragedy occurred in November 1944 when fascist troops invaded the village to seek revenge and exact retaliation for the support given to partisans by local residents. During this violent action, 32 innocent men tragically lost their lives. Two others managed to survive the event.

This Renaissance building was built in the 16th century on the most lucrative municipal land. Its elegant architecture and rich, yet subtle decoration will be appreciated by every expert.

Did you know that Konkatedrála sv. Mikuláša is the oldest Gothic sacral building in Prešov? During the times of Austria-Hungary, it was considered one of the most beautiful and perfect hall churches. Its construction was authorized by Queen Elizabeth in 1347. The elevation of the church to a co-cathedral church was decided in 2008 by Pope Benedict XVI. Come and inspect the magnificent interior of one of the oldest and most significant churches in Slovakia for yourself. You will certainly also be pleased by the view from the 71 m high church tower.

The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, bishop and miracle worker, whose feast day is celebrated by the Holy Church on December 6. Its foundations rest on an original older sacral structure from the 13th century on the site of an original German settlement. Kostol sv. Mikuláša was built as a single-nave structure with a raised polygonal presbytery. Its external dimensions reach a length of 54.7 m and a width of 34.45 m. It served as a Catholic parish church until 1531, when most burghers, along with priests, adopted the teachings of Martin Luther. From that time on, it became a Protestant church for citizens of German nationality for 140 years.

The change occurred after the town was occupied by the Habsburg army in 1671, when it once again became a church for Catholic believers for a time. Between 1682 and 1686, during the uprising of Imrich Tököly, it was returned to the Protestants once more. The church was returned to the Catholics in 1711 and has served as a Roman Catholic parish church ever since. Throughout its existence, the co-cathedral also experienced sad moments. It burned down six times and in 1918 was a silent witness to the Prešov Mutiny, during which 40 soldiers and 2 civilians were executed. Only a small part of the original Gothic-Renaissance furnishings has been preserved. Most was destroyed in fires or during religious unrest.

The dominant feature of the church is the main altar. It is a massive Baroque structure featuring a Gothic cabinet in the center with three niches and three sculptures. It is decorated with a Baroque canopy and side drapery. The author of this magnificent work is Prešov woodcarver Ján Weiss. The church also houses five other valuable altars in the Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Among the valuables are also Gothic sculptures of the Archangel Gabriel, the crucified Jesus Christ, and a small statue of Christ of Sorrows from the workshop of Master Paul of Levoča. In the church, you can also admire Gothic wall paintings on the northern side of the middle presbytery from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Another jewel is the large five-part Renaissance-Baroque organ from 1634, which is decorated with gold ornamentation. At its top, a small statue of Saint Michael the Archangel is placed.

From 2010 to 2021, the co-cathedral underwent an extensive interior and exterior reconstruction. In addition to a general overhaul of the large organ, the stained glass windows were restored, a new paint job was done, new electrical wiring, lighting, and sound systems were installed. The sanctuary was modified, and the wall frescoes were restored. The roofing was also replaced, and the entire facade was restored. Currently, regular services and concerts take place in the church. You can treat yourself to the view from the tower every day during the summer season.

After visiting this remarkable sacral building, treat yourself to a stroll through the main square, where a multitude of various restaurants, pastry shops, and pubs are located. If it is a hot summer day, do not hesitate and indulge in relaxation in the pools at Kúpaliska Plaza Beach Solivar or Kúpaliska Sídlisko III.

The Roman Catholic Bazilika Narodenia Panny Márie is the most valuable and oldest historical monument in the town of Vranov nad Topľou. Since 2008, the church has carried the designation "minor," making it one of thirteen basilicas in Slovakia with this significant honorary title, which comes directly from the Pope. This modestly looking historical monument came to the awareness of Christians worldwide thanks to a miraculous event that occurred in the region. A rare historical icon of the Virgin Mary by an unknown author shed bloody tears before the eyes of local people. This happened in 1708.

The miraculous painting of the Virgin Mary executed on canvas with oil colors was subsequently transferred to the church. On September 8, 1708, the church was dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, and ever since, it has been drawing Marian pilgrims from all over Zemplín every year on September 8. Another miracle is the event from 1718 when a fire broke out in the church, but the painting remained undamaged. The church thus became an even more significant pilgrimage site, as evidenced by the Decree on the Establishment of the Pilgrimage Site dated June 29, 1999.

The church was originally built in 1441 by the Franciscans as a monastery church. After their departure from the town, the evangelicals took over the administration of the church from the Franciscans and managed it from 1540 to 1672. Subsequently, in 1672, the spiritual administration of the church was taken over by the monastic order of the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit, the so-called Paulines, with whom the basilica is associated to this day. The cult of the Mother of God is characteristic of the Paulines, as they managed many Marian shrines. In the territory of Slovakia, their administration also included, for example, the pilgrimage sites in Šaštín and Marianka near Bratislava. After almost a century of activity in Vranov, the Paulines had to leave the monastery by order of Joseph II, and their order moved from Slovakia to Poland. The monks returned back to Vranov only after more than 200 years.

From an architectural standpoint, the Bazilika Narodenia Panny Márie ranks among late Gothic monumental sacral structures. Although you wouldn't say so at a glance from the outside, the church interior is a magnificent Baroque work from the first half of the 18th century and appeals to every visitor. The miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary of Vranov depicting the Mother of God holding the child on her right forearm is located in the center of the altar superstructure. The main altar is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. There are also other, smaller altars in the basilica. The side ones are dedicated to St. Paul the Hermit, after whom the Pauline Order is named, and St. Pope Clement I. The fourth altar, located on the northern side of the church, is dedicated to St. John Nepomuk, the martyr of the seal of confession. The great reverence of the Vranov Paulines for this saint is confirmed by the reliquary with his remains in the interior and the sculptural group in the exterior of the church, included in the state list of cultural monuments.

Also preserved in the Vranov basilica is a very valuable Baroque-Rococo collection of liturgical objects consisting of a monstrance, chalice, ciborium, and pectoral cross. This unique liturgical set is the work of the most famous personality of Baroque goldsmithing in Slovakia, Ján Silaši, and rightfully belongs on the list of national cultural monuments. A precious testimony to the existence of Baroque sculpture in Eastern Slovakia are the perfect woodcarving creations from the workshop of Jozef Hartman, which adorn the altars and the pulpit. The atmosphere of the distant past is complemented by wall paintings by the prominent Czech Baroque painter J. L. Kracker.

If the Bazilika Narodenia Panny Márie has caught your interest and you would like to find out more, a guided tour can be requested from the Rímskokatolícky farský úrad Sever, which is seated in the parish building of the former Pauline monastery. Although the monastery building is of a later date, originating from the 17th century, it is likewise a historical monument worth visiting.
