Adrenaline, fun and sport Kanianka

Zrkadlové bludisko v Bojniciach brings a fascinating play of lights and reflections that will test your senses and orientation.

The attraction is located in the center of the spa town of Bojnice, in the Prievidza district, in close proximity to Bojnický zámok. It is one of the largest mirror mazes in Slovakia, utilizing a system of dozens of mirrors arranged to create a perfect illusion of infinite space. Upon entry, visitors receive hygienic gloves so they do not leave smudges on the mirror surfaces and thus help themselves in finding the way out. The entire experience is enhanced by scenic lighting that changes the colors and atmosphere of the maze. The premises also feature curved "funny" mirrors that distort the figure and ensure fun for both children and adults. Thanks to its indoor location, the attraction is accessible year-round and represents an ideal alternative program even during adverse weather conditions.

What can you find here?

The main part is the mirror labyrinth itself with a tangle of corridors where you must find the right direction to the exit. In addition to it, entertaining distortion mirrors are installed in the area, which expand, narrow, or otherwise alter your silhouette in various ways. A photo area is also prepared for visitors, where optical effects create unique visual compositions.

Who is the place suitable for?

The maze is a popular destination especially for families with children, who enjoy the playful way of searching for the way. However, it is suitable for all age groups, from school trips to adult visitors looking for brief entertainment. Due to the lighting effects and confined space, individuals with severe claustrophobia or sensitivity to flashing light should be cautious.

What can you visit in the surroundings?

Just a few meters from the maze towers the fairy-tale Bojnický zámok, which ranks among the most visited monuments in Central Europe. In the immediate vicinity, you can visit the oldest and largest zoological garden in Slovakia, Národnú ZOO Bojnice. For further unconventional experiences, the Prepoštská jaskyňa Museum of Prehistory or the Čajka v oblakoch observation tower, which offers a view of the entire upper Ponitrie region, are available.

The recreation and relaxation area Rybníky & GRILL is located in the village of Sebedražie, just 5 km from Prievidza. Come enjoy the wonderful summer weather by the water. In addition, you can fish here, and even without a fishing license. Make a family trip and discover the energy hidden in wood, stone, and water.

Vodný svet Sebedražie offers you a unique opportunity to spend pleasant moments in the circle of family and friends in the embrace of nature. In the area, you will find 9 bodies of water, 3 of which are used as fishing ponds with various fishing systems. Cast your fishing rod and wait to see if you are lucky enough to catch a tasty carp, a whiskered catfish, a fighting pike, or a rainbow trout.

And while you are impatiently awaiting your catch, your loved ones can play a miniature version of golf just a short distance away. Concentration, a precise eye, and a steady hand are very important in minigolf as well. Even if you miss, you will at least have a lot of fun.

The 30-meter-long ship wreck, where all travelers and tired adventurers will find shelter, will take you back to the times of the legendary pirate Jack Sparrow. Right at the entrance, the piercing aroma of freshly grilled trout will hit your nose, which you will not be able to resist. At Lokál u Jacka, you will not only have an excellent lunch, but also relax in a space full of works of art. If you prefer a tramp-style lunch instead, take advantage of the stone so-called megalithic fire pit with seating.

Your little children will play on the original children's playground, where they will find a seahorse, a mega crocodile, a predatory piranha, a giant sperm whale, and a mysterious turtle. While the children play, you can admire statues and paintings by leading Slovak and Czech artists.

Another attraction is Račia farma, where you have a great opportunity to see rare specimens of noble crayfish in their natural habitat. You can play real golf at the training center of Golf Club Scotland, which is part of the area. The unique atmosphere is also complemented by originally painted Indian teepee tents. The Rybníky & GRILL area has its gates open from the beginning of May to the end of October.

If you still have an appetite for more, the village of Sebedražie is home to Hornonitriansky banský skanzen (Upper Nitra Mining Open-Air Museum), which is hidden in the original underground spaces. Thanks to this, you have a unique opportunity to experience the hard bread of mining underground firsthand.

After a day full of experiences, settle down in a cozy guesthouse, from where you can plan further trips around the surroundings.
