Where to go on a trip Jakubany

Nestville Park in Hniezdne is among the youngest museums in the Stará Ľubovňa district. It was established in 2012 along with the exhibition of distilling and traditional folk crafts, Nestville Distillery. The name itself was created by combining two English words, nest and ville, which translates to the village of Hniezdne. Come and see the home of the first Slovak whisky, and at the same time, tour one of the most modern alcohol refineries in Central Europe.

The Nestville Distillery exhibition is divided into three parts. The historical part is dedicated to demonstrations of folk crafts closely linked to distilling. The modern part will guide you through the refinery, where more than 35,000 tons of grain are processed annually. Located in the traditional or tasting part is one of the largest hand-carved wooden reliefs in Europe, crafted by local woodcarvers. It is precisely in this section that the maturation warehouses of Nestville Whisky are situated. At the end of the tour, you can treat your taste buds and sample Nestville Whisky or unpasteurized and unfiltered craft beer, Nestville Beer.

After the tour of Nestville Distillery, visit the chocolate kingdom of Nestville Chocolate. As the only chocolate shop in the region, it offers you this sweet delicacy in the highest quality. Sit back over a cup of hot chocolate or quality coffee and taste delicious Belgian pralines, fabulous homemade desserts, or delightful chocolate liqueur. While enjoying your sweet treat, you can watch the chocolate production process through glass.

At Nestville Park, they have also thought of your children, who will experience plenty of fun at a large, modern playground. A rope pyramid, slides, climbing frames, spring rockers, a tube slide, trampolines, and many other play features await them.

They won't leave you hungry here either. You can have lunch at the Nestville Taberna restaurant, which also houses a craft brewery. The unique "farm to table" concept will enhance the culinary experience of the served specialties.

Few people would guess that northeastern Slovakia, bordering Poland, is a place where you can find interesting castles. Nevertheless, we have a trip idea for you in this area as well. If you set out to discover the beauties of Pieniny or the wild Dunajec, visit the town of Stará Ľubovňa. Above it towers the well-known Ľubovniansky hrad castle.

In the past, when Slovakia did not yet exist, trade was conducted between our homeland and the surrounding areas much like today. The Kingdom of Hungary (Uhorsko) and Poland were significant partners, and one of the most important trade routes of that time led beneath what is now Ľubovniansky hrad. It was created as a guard castle that ensured the defense and safety of the route. It was built around the year 1280 by the husband of the daughter of the Hungarian King Béla IV.

The castle initially went through a bumpy development. Its owners changed virtually one after another; it even happened that a certain family controlled it for only 4 years. Despite this instability, Ľubovniansky hrad made its mark on history in a big way. Poland and the Kingdom of Hungary agreed on peace, as the Kingdom of Hungary was interested in expanding its empire toward Dalmatia and Venetia. Battles with Poland were unnecessarily weakening it, so peace was the best way forward. Moreover, Poland lent money to the Kingdom of Hungary to conquer new territories, so it needed collateral. And so, in 1412, Ľubovniansky hrad, together with 16 other Spiš towns, ended up under Polish pledge.

The period under Polish rule lasted from 1412 until 1769. The castle was inhabited at the time by Polish mayors representing the pledged territory. For the castle, it was a significant benefit. During this time, the castle underwent its largest reconstructions, partly due to a castle fire in 1553. King Sigismund II Augustus ordered an extensive reconstruction into a Renaissance fortress. An interesting fact is that the most modern bastion, a defensive tower, was built at the castle at that time. For a certain period, the Polish coronation jewels were also kept at the castle.

Polish rule over the castle ended only in 1772 during the reign of Maria Theresa. The most significant noble family of the final period and at the same time the last owner of the castle was the Zamoyski family from 1883 to 1945.

What about the castle today? Part of the castle is in its original condition, part as a ruin. You certainly won't be bored here. In the preserved part, there is a museum where you will have the opportunity to see exhibitions of period furniture, weapons, or an exhibition room. Directly below the castle cliff lies another attraction, the Múzeum ľudovej architektúry open-air museum. You will thus see with your own eyes how not only the nobility lived, but also their subjects.

Stará Ľubovňa offers the widest accommodation options in the area. More demanding guests who enjoy pleasant hotels will find what they are looking for, as will those who prefer budget accommodation. Plenty of private stays, hostels, and cottages will convince you to visit Ľubovniansky hrad as well.

If you have ever driven around the Stará Ľubovňa district, the work in the village of Plaveč – Plavečský hrad certainly did not escape your attention. It spreads above the wide valley of the Poprad river. Its original function was reserved for defense, nowadays it serves rather as a place with magnificent views of the wide surroundings. Do you want to experience a pleasant picnic in an amazing atmosphere or go on a minor hike as a family? Then choose Hrad Plaveč as your trip destination.

The castle was built in the 13th century. Plavečský hrad was built by the nobleman Arnold, son of Ditrich from Spiš. Significant dynasties inhabited it, among them for example the Anjou or the Luxembourg family. In the 18th century, it lost its significance and was rebuilt into a residential mansion. Since the statics of the castle were disrupted, its owners moved to the manor house. It gradually began to decay, and a fire also engulfed it. Now, with the help of volunteers, it is being successfully reconstructed.

This luxurious mansion thus became the attraction of Plaveč, which many tourists visit every year. You can set out for the Deň Hradu Plaveč event, which takes place on the last Sunday of August, or alternatively for children's day during the first Saturday of June.

Access to the castle is very simple. You can start in the village of Plaveč and direct your steps to the Podzámok locality. You will recognize the castle already on the basis of its silhouette. The journey takes about 10 to 15 minutes on foot and even smaller children can manage it. So as not to tire them out too much, we recommend checking out accommodation near Hrad Plaveč. It is one of the ways to spend a nice time.

There are also many other places in the vicinity of the village that you can visit. Many clients of Ľubovnianske kúpele praise the surrounding nature. Do not miss amazing walks along trails or cycling routes. A tour of the slightly more distant Nestville park is also interesting. However, if you plan a wellness stay in the guest house Plaveč, you will certainly be more than satisfied. Slightly more privacy on the other hand is offered by chalets and cottages Plaveč. Of course, the choice of accommodation in Plaveč is entirely up to you.

Kúpele Vyšné Ružbachy spa resort is located in the village of the same name, in the Stará Ľubovňa District. The climatic and mineral spa is situated at an altitude of 617 m above sea level on the southern foothills of the Spišská Magura mountains, in the region of the Tatra mountain ranges. People come here from various corners of Slovakia with indicated oncological diseases, circulatory system diseases, digestive system diseases, metabolic disorders, non-tuberculous respiratory diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, kidney and urinary tract diseases, mental disorders, gynecological conditions, and occupational diseases.

Construction of the spa began in 1595, when the main building, pool, kitchen, dining room, and common room were built. This was during the time of Mayor Sebastián Ľubomirský, appointed by Polish King Casimir. Stanislav Ľubomirský, son of Sebastián, expanded the spa and turned it into an important center for Polish and Hungarian nobility. After the Ľubomirský family line died out, the spa began to decline. This was caused by frequent changes in ownership until it came back under the administration of the Kingdom of Hungary.

It was not until 1825 that it underwent reconstruction thanks to the efforts of Baron von Jony. He had a manor house, a new spa house, and a mirror bath built, and the spa began to come alive again. Subsequently, his son Daniel took care of it, and in 1865 it became the property of the Kežmarok Lyceum until it was purchased in 1882 by Andrzej Zamoyski, a Polish count. In 1923, he had a natural thermal swimming pool built here, which was the largest in Slovakia at the time. From then on, the spa began transforming into one of the most modern in our territory. The Biely dom building was constructed, becoming one of the spa's main landmarks.

The spa even received a highly respected and distinguished visit when the King of Spain and the Prince of Bourbon visited before World War II. This was likely due to the fact that after Zamoyski's death, the spa was inherited by his son Jan and his wife Isabel de Bourbon. Isabel was the niece of the King of Spain. Later, World War II thwarted plans for further expansion of the spa. It was later nationalized, passing under the administration of the ROH (Revolutionary Trade Union Movement) in 1952 and state control in 1957.

The health of patients and clients is taken care of by water from the main thermal spring Izabela, along with water from the thermal spring Jozef (the spring "near the post office"). Izabela is the most yield-abundant spring in all of Europe, with a flow rate of 20 liters per second. Moderately mineralized, lukewarm, calcium-magnesium, hypotonic water flows from it. Jozef, on the other hand, is a spring with cold, moderately mineralized, carbonated drinking water containing an increased proportion of calcium, magnesium, and fluorine. In addition to the main spring, healing water gushes from 14 other slightly less abundant springs.

People also visit Kúpele Vyšné Ružbachy to view the Kráter small lake. This is an interesting natural travertine lake with thermal water. With a diameter of 20 m and a depth of 3 m, it is the largest of its kind in Slovakia. In 1967, it was designated a protected natural creation. It beautifully complements the surroundings of Biely dom, creating a truly eye-pleasing ensemble. In addition, hotel complexes are located here. Wellness services and a restaurant are a matter of course.

Guests can enjoy several different types of procedures at the spa. Water procedures offer a choice of underwater massage, massage pool, thermal sitting pool, carbonated tub bath, bubble bath, Scottish douches, alternating foot bath, swimming, and lower-limb whirlpool bath. Physical therapy procedures include cardiovascular rehabilitation, Nordic walking, hydrokinesiotherapy, fitness, and variously focused physical education. Psychotherapeutic procedures include music therapy, relaxation, EEG biofeedback, HRB biofeedback, and hippotherapy. Other procedures you can undergo include Vacu Well negative-pressure therapy, vibrosauna, manual lymphatic drainage, Pneuven-Bevuk lymphatic drainage, Aquavibron, classic or peat paraffin wraps, sauna, Solux lamp treatment, inhalations, gas injections, Biotherik dry carbonated bath, laser therapy, Bioptron light therapy, solarium, classic electrotherapy or BTL-06 device electrotherapy, hydrogalvanic bath, ultrasound, magnetotherapy, diathermy, diadynamic currents, and classic or reflex massages. Medical examinations are a matter of course.

You can spend your leisure time during your stay at Kúpele Vyšné Ružbachy through active or passive relaxation. Nearby is the Letné termálne kúpalisko Izabela outdoor thermal pool with natural healing water. History lovers should not miss Ľubovniansky hrad castle, Ľubovniansky skanzen open-air museum, Nestville Park, or the Stredoveký vojenský tábor. You can experience fun mixed with a bit of adrenaline while rafting or taking a wooden raft ride on the Dunajec river. Hikers will enjoy the options for walks or hikes in the Pieninský národný park. You won't be bored in winter either, as you can ski at resorts in Vyšné Ružbachy or Stará Ľubovňa.

A stay at Kúpele Vyšné Ružbachy has a beneficial effect on clients. Its secret lies in combining healing carbonated springs with the surrounding enchanted nature, into which the spa is sensitively set. Together, they act on both body and soul, bringing perfect balance. Every visitor leaves the spa healthier, happier, and full of energy and vitality. Book accommodation near Kúpele Vyšné Ružbachy; you can find the best offer on the website accommodation Vyšné Ružbachy.

In the village of Vyšné Ružbachy, you can find Kráter, the largest travertine lake in our country. It is part of the Ružbašské krátery, where you will find four large and several smaller craters. These were formed by the collapse of travertine mounds around a healing mineral spring. They are located at an altitude of 620 m above sea level on the grounds of Kúpele Vyšné Ružbachy, near Spišská Magura, in the Stará Ľubovňa district.

The aforementioned Kráter lake has a diameter of approximately 20 m, an almost circular shape, a maximum depth of 3 m, all spanning a water surface area of 300 m². As the only one among the Ružbašské krátery, it is filled with 24 °C warm water, specifically, thermal mineral water rich in calcium. Since 1967, it has been listed among the protected natural formations of Slovakia, and swimming in it is strictly prohibited for this reason.

Another one of the local craters is Kaplnkový kráter, located near the Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes. Thanks to its dimensions of 51 × 32 × 4.5 m, it ranks among the largest formations of its kind in our country. Also worth mentioning is the crater named Jama smrti. Like the others (excluding Kráter), this one is a waterless crater and is also known under the name Smerdžonka. And why such a goosebumps-inducing name? Carbon dioxide escapes from it, causing suffocation and loss of consciousness. Falling into the pit has already claimed the lives of several domestic animals belonging to local residents, as well as rodents and birds.

Many tourists bypass the craters because they do not find them interesting without water. However, that is a shame, as they certainly belong among unique natural phenomena. During your travels around Horný Spiš, make time to come and admire them. Allow yourself plenty of time for this; we recommend booking accommodation near Ružbašské krátery. You can find great tips for finding lodging on the page accommodation in Stará Ľubovňa. Enjoy your stay and do not forget to bring friends or family along. After all, wandering through nature brings the best experiences precisely when you do not embark on them alone.

This water has beneficial effects in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory diseases, gynecological, oncological, and mental illnesses. It also aids in the treatment of digestive system, urinary tract, and kidney diseases.

The temperature in the outdoor pools ranges from 23 to 27 °C, and in the indoor pool, the water temperature is 34 °C. Perhaps the most interesting attraction is a small island with tall conifers located in the middle of the island pool. Within the complex grounds, you will always find a well-maintained grassy area where you can lay out a blanket and peacefully indulge in the sun's rays.

Showers, restrooms, changing rooms, a children's playground, and lifeguard services are a matter of course.

And it is precisely to Vyšné Ružbachy that we invite you today. It is not only about the famous spa, but also about a surprisingly comprehensive ski resort. You will find the well-known village a few kilometers west of the town of Stará Ľubovňa, near the main road connecting this town with Poprad.

Despite the fact that Vyšné Ružbachy became famous mainly as a spa town, they also offer other attractions. In winter, the biggest attraction is definitely Ski park Vyšné Ružbachy.

Do you think that in the case of Vyšné Ružbachy and its ski resort, it is just a certain addition? You would be surprised, but that is not the case at all. The total length of the slopes reaches approximately 4,000 meters, which is definitely not a little.

The resort is mainly focused on less demanding and intermediate skiers. Most of the slopes are designed for beginners.

Nestled in the Spiš region, the village of Holumnica is located in the Kežmarok district and will catch your eye from afar with its castle. It is right here that you can find the ruins of Holumnický hrad or Holumnický zámok. Today, it serves as a great spot for hikers or families with children.

Hrad Holumnica is shrouded in a veil of mystery. It is assumed that it was built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. During its existence, it was modified several times. Originally, the castle served as a three-story residential building constructed in the Gothic-Renaissance style. If you were expecting a tower or its remnants at this castle, you will not find one. Interestingly, walls with slit loopholes were discovered here.

Although the building was mostly inhabited by one of the families from a prominent noble lineage in this region, its walls were not occupied for very long. Around the 17th century, the castle became a building used as a residential seat for a member of the family. Later, it became merely a building used to store various materials. Unfortunately, more precise records do not exist.

Plan a trip to the ruins of this castle and park your car near the municipal office. You might even find accommodation near Holumnický hrad. The path to it is very easy. A small alley leading over a wooden footbridge across the Holumnický stream will bring you to your destination. It will take you just 10 minutes on foot. This attraction will not strain your budget either, as no admission fee is charged at the castle ruins and entry is at your own risk.

Holumnica offers many possibilities for how to spend time directly in the village or its surroundings. Book accommodation in the village of Holumnica in advance and check out the local Rímskokatolícky kostol sv. Kataríny. Nearby, you can also explore the premises of the Kláštor piaristov. In Vyšné Ružbachy, on the other hand, you can enjoy a perfect swim in the Ružbašské krátery. After that, all you need to do is head back to your private accommodation in Holumnica and spend pleasant moments with your partner.

In the northern part of the Poprad Basin, at the confluence of the Poprad and the Beliansky stream, lies the town of Spišská Belá. Right here you will find a gem of Slovak Renaissance architecture, kaštieľ Strážky. Spišská Belá is situated in the Prešov Region, in the district of Kežmarok, approximately 20 km north of Poprad, the gateway to the tourist-beloved Vysoké Tatry. The local manor house attracts visitors not only with its charming architecture, but also with valuable permanent exhibitions and occasional programming by the Slovenská národná galéria. The charm of this unique place is completed by an 19th-century English park, which is made for a romantic stroll.

Art lovers can let themselves be enchanted by four permanent exhibitions in kaštieľ Strážky. Two of them are presentations of visual art pieces. The exhibition Portrét 17.–19. storočia na Spiši is a collection of portraits consisting largely of works from the family gallery of the former owners of the manor house (the Horváth-Stansith, Szirmay, Mednyánszky, and Czóbel families, as well as Spiš families such as Csáky, Esterházy, etc.). The second visual art exhibition, entitled Ladislav Mednyánszky a Strážky, is the only permanent exhibition in Slovakia presenting the works of one of the main representatives of Central European painting of the last third of the 19th and early 20th century, Ladislav Mednyánszky. The exhibition is a selection from a comprehensive body of the artist's works, which primarily come from his early periods and document individual stages of the development of his artistic style.

The third interesting exhibition of the picturesque manor house is Historická knižnica Strážky, which is part of the national cultural heritage. Its origins date back to the last quarter of the 16th century. The impressive collection contains an incredible 8,500 volumes, magazines, and maps. The last exhibition of the Slovenská národná galéria can be viewed by visitors in the premises of kaštieľ Strážky. Under the title Sochárstvo na Slovensku v 20. storočí, works of important Slovak sculptors from the second half of the 20th century are presented here in the impressive setting of the English park. The picturesque park grounds blend pleasantly with the riverbed of the Poprad River and the surrounding countryside. It thus creates a beautiful scenery for a pleasant walk with an artistic touch.

A magnificent artistic object is undoubtedly the building of kaštieľ Strážky itself. It was built on the foundations of a Gothic castle. Later owners, the Horváth-Stansith family, gradually rebuilt it into a beautiful Renaissance manor house. This picturesque manor house acquired its present appearance through a reconstruction in the 17th century. A typical square floor plan with an inner courtyard was created by adding a fourth wing after a fire at the beginning of the 18th century. Kaštieľ Strážky, together with the kostol sv. Anny and a Renaissance bell tower in the historic town center, forms a national cultural monument.

Can you get enthusiastic about art and architectural monuments set in unique outdoor scenery? If so, definitely do not miss a visit to Spišská Belá and kaštieľ Strážky during your holiday in the Tatras. You can combine a trip here with a tour of Belianska jaskyňa, the largest and only accessible high-mountain dripstone cave in the Tatranský národný park.

It is right here where you will find the ski resort Litmanová Resort, suitable for children and adults alike. Once a continuous layer of snow falls, not only recreational enthusiasts but also demanding winter sports lovers will find something to their liking here. The slopes are artificially snowed, which means the winter season can fully begin at sub-zero temperatures. At your disposal, you have a choice of four ski lifts that will take you up to one of the total of five slopes with various inclines.

The shortest slope with a length of 150 m and an elevation gain of 20 meters is for children. The Žiacka slope serves for instruction during ski training camps. Two other slopes with a length of 400 m will be appreciated by more advanced skiers. The difficulty of one is medium and the other is hard. The longest is called Fakľovka and offers the option of skiing along a total length of 1,000 m. The most demanding skiers love riding on virgin, un-groomed snow during freeride skiing or snowboarding. Lovers of cross-country skiing will not be disappointed either, which you can enjoy when there is enough natural snow, for example, on the ridge circuit of Fakľovka.

A huge advantage in this resort is the option of illuminated slopes, and thus evening skiing. However, you will appreciate the views of the surrounding nature during beautiful sunny days. In the resort, it is possible to rent ski equipment or use the ski service. Many will refine their technique or learn it in the ski school or snowboarding school. You can also warm up in the snack bar on the slope or in a Goral-style teahouse near the resort. All you need to do is plan a multi-day ski trip and take advantage of accommodation near the Litmanová Resort.

Even in winter, a visit to the Stredoveký vojenský tábor is interesting. You can warm up on the premises of Ľubovniansky hrad, where you will see its interesting exhibition. However, it is good to keep in mind that accommodation in Litmanová fills up very quickly and it is necessary to find and book the best option in advance.
