Where to go on a trip Košeca

A romantic manor house built in the Neo-Gothic style is an unexpected architectural gem of the tiny village of Bohunice, located on the right bank of the Váh river, not far from the town of Ilava. The museum, which is part of the property, showcases the region of the surrounding Biele Karpaty. Follow the footsteps of history to this remarkably beautiful place and let yourself be enchanted by the atmosphere that reigns here.

The first mention of the manor house dates back to 1712, but the curia acquired its present appearance in the mid-19th century. Hungarian noble families Medňanský and Kubínyi contributed to the reconstruction in the spirit of historical Romanticism between the years 1861 and 1866. To meet the needs of the noble families, Kaplnka sv. Cyrila a Metoda, serving as a family crypt, was built in the grounds with an English park and a pond. A sad story of the Kubínyi family is tied to the building. Juraj Kubínyi and his wife Jana Medňanská, who was the daughter of Alojz Medňanský, a prominent author of works such as Dejiny slovenských hradov (History of Slovak Castles) or Malebná cesta dolu Váhom (A Picturesque Journey Down the Váh), used the manor house as their family residence. After the birth of their daughter Mária, a cholera epidemic broke out in the area, claiming Jana Medňanská and her little daughter as victims in 1866. The heartbroken Juraj Kubínyi had the Neo-Gothic crypt built to lay their bodies to rest, and he himself was laid to rest there in 1902 as the last heir to Medňanský's estate. Since then, the curia changed hands, belonging for instance to Žigmund Rizner, brother of Ľudmila Podjavorinská, who allegedly wrote her famous rhymed fairytale "Čin-čin" inspired by the sparrows in the local English park.

In the 1950s, the residence was seized from the family by the regime of the time, and a library, a folk school, and a shop were established in the premises of the manor house. From 1989 onwards, the building fell into disrepair. It was not until 2010 that the necessary subsidy for reconstruction was successfully obtained, and Múzeum regiónu Bielych Karpát opened its doors in the newly renovated premises in 2012. Since the village of Bohunice does not have its own cultural hall, it also uses the manor house for cultural and social events. The grounds can also be used for weddings and wedding photo shoots.

Múzeum regiónu Bielych Karpát offers a rich array of interesting exhibitions. You will be welcomed by wax figures of prominent personalities from the MAS Vršatec project (a local action group, a civic association), such as Vojtech Zamarovský, St. Benedict, or Božena Riznerová Obrová. For nature lovers, an exhibition of animals and butterflies from the Biele Karpaty region is prepared. Motoring enthusiasts will be pleased by an exhibition of motorcycles on loan from Vlastivedné múzeum v Považskej Bystrici, documenting their production in Považské strojárne between 1947 and 2009. Last but not least, artistic souls will find their delight in the permanent exhibition Genius Loci, featuring works by Bohunice native and academic painter Ján Matejko (1919–1980). The mystery of the art of glassmaking, along with an overview of 20th-century production from the glassworks and glass museum in Lednické Rovne, will be revealed to you by the local glass exhibition. Equally beautiful art, though the art of the written word, is represented by the exhibition of Ľudmila Podjavorinská, whose works have accompanied many from childhood into adulthood. Finally, the museum also hides the antique boudoir of opera singer and actress Božena Riznerová Obrová and an extraordinary ethnographic exhibition of hemp canvas production.

After touring the interior spaces, do not forget to visit the adjacent English park with its small pond and Kaplnka sv. Cyrila a Metoda. The park is dominated by a central trio of trees, a linden, a hornbeam, and a maple, whose crowns form a heart recognizable from a distance, enhancing the magical atmosphere of this place.

Not only the village of Bohunice, but the entire region offers breathtaking places worth visiting. Find accommodation near Kaštieľ a Múzeum regiónu Bielych Karpát, for example in the surrounding guesthouses or apartments. A diverse range of accommodation is also offered by nearby picturesque villages in the foothills of Vršatecké bradlá. You are guaranteed to experience a great stay here, complemented by many memorable experiences from visiting the museum.

If you are a fan of air transport and airplanes fascinate you, take a trip and visit Letecké múzeum Slávnica, which is located at the airfield in the village of Slavnica. In addition to viewing the aircraft, you can also treat yourself to a solid dose of adrenaline and experience a bird's-eye view of the world. If you have courage to spare, book a tandem skydiving jump that you will certainly remember for a long time.

The history of this unique museum began to be written on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the founding of Aeroklub Dubnica nad Váhom, during which the ceremonial opening took place on September 7, 2013. The first exhibit that the aviation museum enthusiasts managed to acquire was a Soviet-made MiG-15 fighter aircraft.

Currently, you will find 10 aircraft here coming from various corners of Slovakia. The largest exhibit is a twin-engine jet aircraft of the Soviet brand Tupolev – TU-134 of the former Czechoslovak Airlines. Did you know that this airliner belonged among the most popular transport aircraft in the former Warsaw Pact states? It was deployed for the first time on the Moscow – Sochi route in 1967.

After viewing all the displayed exhibits, board a sightseeing plane and treat yourself to a panoramic view of the entire surroundings. If you wish to treat yourself to an even more exceptional experience, we recommend undergoing a tandem skydiving jump. A Pilatus PC-6 Porter aircraft will take you up into the clouds. Then follows a free fall from an altitude of 4,000 m, which lasts approximately 55 seconds. You will fall at a speed of 200 km/h, and in addition to the great feeling that you made it, you will also receive a certificate of the completed jump.

Besides tandem jumps and sightseeing flights, the Slávnica airfield also offers solo parachute jumps and canopy piloting. A parachute and other necessary equipment will be gladly rented to you in the rental shop. Aeroklub Dubnica nad Váhom organizes airshows, aviation rallies, and various air events on the airfield premises. The Slávnica airfield annually becomes the venue for the World Championships and European Championships in aerobatics.

Do not forget to announce your visit to this exceptional museum, as well as the reservation for a tandem jump and sightseeing flight, in advance by phone. After a wonderful day spent among airplanes, you do not have to go anywhere else. Stay directly in cozy rooms at the airfield. You can find the complete offer of accommodation near Letecké múzeum Slávnica on our page accommodation Slavnica. During the following days, you can wander around the area and discover other fun attractions in the Biele Karpaty region.

If you love nature, take a hike and run up to Vršatecké bralo, where you will find the ruins of Hrad Vršatec. Visit nearby Trenčín as well and take a tour of Trenčiansky hrad. Children will certainly enjoy the rope park Tarzania. At the end of your stay, take a nice photo at Fontána vodníka Valentína. We wish you a successful holiday full of great experiences.

Need a break from daily responsibilities? We have a great tip for you! Come clear your head in the Botanický park botanical park, which you can find in the area of the Renaissance manor house in Lednické Rovne. A magical green oasis of peace awaits you here. Covering an area of 20 hectares, you can view various rare plants and trees, which began to be planted as early as the beginning of the 18th century. A visit to the park will recharge your batteries and harmonize both body and soul.

Botanický park Lednické Rovne was built after the English model with various artificially created ruins of bastions, broken pillars, obelisks, and turrets, elegantly complemented by a small temple of the goddess Minerva. Its creation dates back to the second half of the 17th century, when Count František Rákoci II had one hundred linden trees planted here. Further planting and modernization of the park was continued by the Dutch Count Aspremont in 1824. A significant contribution to the building of the park was made by the famous Hungarian botanist and director of the university botanical garden in Budapest, Anton Rochel.

During a walk through the park, you can admire the amazing scenery of a chestnut avenue and rich pine stands, as well as a quantity of plane trees, and beautifully colored Japanese maples are not missing either. Among the most beautiful greenery in the park are magnolias, rhododendrons, roses, as well as diverse rock plants, groundsel, and climbing ivy. In addition to a small pond with a statue of the ancient god Neptune, the park is dominated by an observation tower and a Renaissance mausoleum with a domed roof and a turret.

Count Aspremont had an ancient church built in the park, surrounded by a cemetery with tasteful gravestones. The count himself is buried here, as well as his wife, for whom he had a sarcophagus made of red-veined marble constructed. A stone Gothic gate with a round guardhouse in the rear part of the park has also been preserved.

A dendrological rarity of the park is a small-leaved linden with a chest-height girth of 660 cm, whose width at ground level is a respectable 900 cm. Rare pedunculate oaks with a girth of 150–200 cm have also been preserved in abundant numbers. Another curiosity is twelve Canadian poplars imported from the Netherlands, from which all the poplars in the area originate.

In 1945, the Lednice estate was nationalized, and the manor house standing by the park was converted into a school. The village of Lednické Rovne will certainly charm you with the Slovenské sklárske múzeum museum as well, which will guide you through the history of glassmaking in the village. After visiting Botanický park, head straight to the summer swimming pool and enjoy the hot sun rays by the pools.

You will appreciate the truly nice and helpful staff who will assist and advise you with everything. After swimming, feel free to change in the changing rooms or treat yourself to a shower and set out to explore the surroundings of the village.

The spa town of Trenčianske Teplice is located in Western Slovakia, in the valley of the Teplička stream, southwest of the Strážovské vrchy mountains. The town lies near the border with the Czech Republic, south of Dubnica nad Váhom and northeast of Trenčín. Thanks to its location in the middle of nature, the town is also referred to as the "Pearl of the Carpathians". The long-standing spa tradition is based mainly on the use of natural sulfur thermal water. All spa buildings stand in the center of town, so there is no need to commute more than 300 meters for treatments.

The Trenčianske Teplice spa ranks not only among the most sought-after Slovak spas, but also among the oldest. According to legend, the healing springs were discovered by a shepherd who was looking for a lost goat and smelled a sulfur odor from a nearby pond. He soaked his aching feet in the pond and experienced relief from the pain. Gradually, rumor of the healing water spread in the area. However, it is likely that the springs and their effects were known even before, probably known to the hunting tribes of the Quadi or Roman legions in the 2nd century. In written records, the healing effects of the local water are mentioned as early as the mid-13th century. From the 13th to the 16th century, Trenčianske Teplice, including the springs, belonged to the rulers of Trenčiansky hrad. The spa experienced its greatest boom during the time of the Illésházy family, who owned it for more than two centuries. During that period, the spa ranked among the most popular in Austria-Hungary. The year 1835 was a breakthrough for the spa when it was bought by the Viennese financier Juraj Sina, who modernized and rebuilt it. His family continued further reconstruction; his son Šimon had a hotel built and expanded the spa park, while his daughter Iphigenia contributed in 1888 by constructing the Hammam in an Oriental Moorish style, which remains the most precious historical monument preserved to this day.

The foundation of the treatment is natural thermal gypsum-sulfur water. Thanks to a temperature of 37 to 40 °C, it does not need to undergo any modification, cooling, or transport. This contributes to enhancing the therapeutic effect, as hydrogen sulfide, which the local thermal water contains, quickly escapes into the air specifically during heating, cooling, or transport. Spa guests can enjoy the thermal water in five pools with various temperatures as well as in individual tub baths. Sulfur mineral mud is also used in treatments, along with numerous movement therapy methods. Musculoskeletal disorders, neurological diseases, occupational diseases, lifestyle diseases, and skin conditions, including psoriasis, are treated here. The water of one of the springs acts favorably on diseases of the digestive tract and metabolism through drinking cures.

In addition to medical procedures, visitors can also use the year-round outdoor Grand pool with a water temperature of 31 °C, a rehabilitation pool with water bicycles, or a swimming pool. The Turkish bath Hammam, built on the model of authentic oriental baths from the late 19th century, is very popular and features beautiful oriental architecture. In the past, the Hammam was used for tub baths, while today it serves as a relaxation room and a space for massages.

Trenčianske Teplice boasts a beautiful park that can be enjoyed not only for walks but also for cycling. In summer, the Spa Hall is a venue for concerts. Since 2016, the spa has been the venue for the multi-genre arts festival ART IN PARK, an artistic project that combines film, theater, music, and fine arts, designed for all age groups.

The location of Trenčianske Teplice is ideal for exploring not only natural beauty but also the cultural monuments of the Považie region. Just 7 km from the spa is the Opatovská jaskyňa cave. The Soblahov - Dúbravka lookout tower provides the best view in the area. The largest cultural attraction is Trenčiansky hrad castle, and in Trenčín, you will also find a museum, gallery, House of the Town Executioner, town tower, and synagogue. For active visitors, we can recommend the Tarzánia rope park in Trenčín in addition to walks in nature.

A proper spa stay lasts at least three days, which is why you will need accommodation near the Trenčianske Teplice spa. Directly in the town center, where the spa buildings are located, you can book apartments, family guesthouses, budget hostels, and, of course, hotels. If you prefer privacy, focus your search on areas outside the center or the surroundings of Trenčianske Teplice, where you will come across cozy cottages and chalets.

We invite you to the village of Lednica, above which the dominant feature of the Biele Karpaty mountains, Hrad Lednica, rises on a steep limestone cliff. In the past, Lednický hrad was among the castles with the most difficult accessibility. Today, the castle is a ruin, but extensive and intensive restoration has been taking place here since 2004, so better times are dawning for the castle. Come see the panoramic view of the Biele Karpaty and Morava and discover this place woven with history.

The first written mentions of the castle date back to 1259, but archaeological finds confirm that the cliff was inhabited as early as 2,000 years ago. The fortress was built to guard the road that led through Považie to Morava. Throughout the history of the castle, several owners took turns here. Count Marek of Lednica is mentioned among the first owners, and for a certain period, it was also owned by the powerful and feared "lord of the Váh and Tatras," Matúš Čák Trenčiansky. Other well-known owners included the Pakši family, the brothers Sobek and Matej Bielik, the Rákóczi family, the robber brothers Podmanický, as well as the Maťašovský family.

The castle consisted of three parts and was almost inaccessible. The lower outer bailey was located at the lowest level, housing defensive bastions, a prison, a room for bailiffs, a stable, a carriage room, and a blacksmith shop. The courtyard was accessed via a drawbridge and a tunnel carved into the rock.

In the courtyard of the middle castle were the main palace residential buildings for servants, utility rooms, storerooms, and the castellan's dwelling. It is assumed that during its heyday, the castle had 45 rooms and defensive towers with bastions. Perhaps the greatest attraction is the local observation post, to which a path leads up a steel ladder and stairs carved directly into the rock face.

Below the castle, you will find a spring to which a sad story is tied. On the day when the beautiful serf Katarínka was marrying the castle forester Ondrej, a boisterous celebration took place at the castle. The castle lord, a passionate count, decided that he would not accept gifts from the wedding guests, but claimed the right of the first night. The heartbroken Katarínka did not want to break her vow of fidelity and chose instead to jump from the castle window into the abyss. At the spot where she perished, a spring of water burst forth, which is named Katarínkin prameň in her honor. An interesting fact is that Jan Amos Komenský also liked to visit the spring.

Take a look at the wooden cross placed on the steep rock below the castle as well. It was erected there by the serfs as a sign of Katarínka and Ondrej's fidelity. The road from the village of Lednica and an access path leading around the spring will guide you to the castle.

After climbing to Lednický hrad, take a break and relax at the swimming pool in the nearby village of Lednické Rovne. Another great place you can visit in the area is Botanický park v Lednických Rovniach and the ruins of Vršatský hrad in Vršatské Podhradie.

In the courtyard, you can also try traditional crafts such as crocheting, embroidery, or pottery. All horse admirers will find what they are looking for at the farm. Here you will find an outdoor riding arena, an indoor arena, a stable with stalls, and paddocks for the animals. Children, as well as adults, can try horseback riding during the weekends. If you are among the more experienced riders, saddle up your steed and enjoy a ride in the arena or across the vast meadows in the surrounding area.

If you have a little one at home who longs to learn how to ride this noble animal, enroll them in the riding school. A team of highly experienced instructors will guide them through the basics of equestrianism, and through regular training, they can become an experienced rider.

Additional services include Hippotherapy, which is designed primarily for disabled or special-needs children. Therapeutic horseback riding has a positive effect on congenital movement, balance, and coordination disorders.

Here you can also check out an insect hotel, which is home to butterflies, little beetles, and solitary forest bees.

Kúpele Nimnica spa is located at an altitude of 300 m a.s.l., in the valley of the Váh river, between the towns of Púchov and Považská Bystrica. It ranks among the youngest Slovak spas, with some calling it the "mineral pearl of Slovakia." Mineral springs of rather cooler water (10–15 °C) enriched with magnesium, potassium, sodium, iodine, chlorine, calcium, iron, and free carbon dioxide have a beneficial effect on the treatment of patients. They come here with indicated circulatory and digestive tract diseases, oncological diseases, metabolic and endocrine disorders, non-tubercular respiratory diseases, nervous system diseases, gynecological diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, and occupational diseases.

When clean, salty, sparkling water was discovered during the deepening of the Váh riverbed in 1953, the history of Kúpele Nimnica began to be written. Analyses and surveys were conducted to determine its composition. As workers continued to construct the Nosická vodná nádrž reservoir, they drank the gushing water. Even then, its healing effects were discovered, which water analyses only confirmed. The water has a beneficial effect both externally and internally. And although the spa has been operating for only a "few" years (since 1959) compared to older Slovak mainstays, it has rightfully earned its place as a true healing location from which people leave healthier, more energetic, and happier.

Kúpele Nimnica has found its visitors among both locals and foreigners. In fact, more and more guests from abroad visit it. The springs of healing mineral water are used for various methods. Treatment takes place in the form of drinking cures, inhalation cures, and spa treatments. The last mentioned utilizes several procedures.

The Vodná nádrž Nosice water reservoir extends over an area of nearly 6 kilometers in the Trenčiansky kraj between the towns of Púchov and Považská Bystrica. It is also part of the Vážska kaskáda, a set of dams built on the Váh river, such as Liptovská Mara, the Bešeňová water reservoir, or Sĺňava. The Nosice reservoir is also known by many under the name Priehrada mládeže. This water body abounds with a beautiful natural surroundings and scenery that is enjoyed not only by local residents.

The Vodná nádrž Nosice water reservoir is the oldest dam on the Váh. Its construction began as early as 1949. The hydroelectric power plant, which is part of the dam wall, was built somewhat later, in 1957. Like other reservoirs on the Váh, it serves primarily to balance the water flow in the longest Slovak river and also to prevent floods in surrounding towns and villages.

The Nosice water body does not have a recreational center and is not all that well known. Nevertheless, people like to use it, for example, for boating, windsurfing, and in some places even for swimming. Cyclists, in turn, like to ride their bikes along the reservoir and admire the views of the surrounding hills of the Javorníky mountain range. The interesting S-shape makes the Nosice reservoir a popular trip not only for cyclists but also for lovers of long walks.

During the excavation of the Vodná nádrž Nosice near the village of Nimnica, water that was salty and fizzy was accidentally discovered. Upon examination, it was found to be a rare mineral spring with healing effects, and thus the youngest Slovak spa of the same name, Nimnica, was also established. You can find the spa on the southern side of the reservoir near the dam wall and the Nosice power plant.

Cyprinid fish thrive very well in the Vodná nádrž Nosice water reservoir. Fishermen can catch pike-perch, bream, eels, carp, and pike here. The fishing ground is designated as the Pod Dubovcom ground and extends from the Orlové city part of Považská Bystrica all the way to the Upohlav part of the village of Udiča. The quiet environment and magnificent surrounding nature make this reservoir an ideal place for a good fishing trip.

In case of excellent snow conditions, when a continuous snow cover falls on the southern part of the Strážovských vrchov, you can pack your skis and enjoy skiing in the Ski Park Závada pod Čiernym vrchom. The resort is located near the picturesque village of Kšinná, 20 km north of the district town of Bánovce nad Bebravou.

After unpacking your skis and putting on your ski boots, you will be able to enjoy great skiing on the blue ski slope, to which a longer ski lift will take you. The mentioned ski slope is used primarily by more advanced skiers because it has a downhill run 1.3 km long with an elevation gain of 145 m. Thanks to the short ski lift, which is intended rather for beginners, families with children also seek out the resort. It is nice to learn to stand on skis in a resort that is not crowded with skiers.

The resort is smaller, so do not expect any premium services here like in other ski resorts in Slovakia. You can fill your bellies by consuming food or drinks in the local buffet. Since the snow in the resort is only natural, skiing or sledding is possible only in case of good weather. The resort is mostly in operation from December to March, and snowcats take care of trail maintenance. An interesting feature is that the cross-country skiing crossing "Memoriál Jána Kušniera" is regularly organized here.
