Divadlo Andreja Bagara Nitra

Divadlo Andreja Bagara Nitra

Nitra

Among the significant personalities who contributed to the development of art is also the artist Andrej Bagar, after whom the theater in Nitra is named. Divadlo Andreja Bagara v Nitre belongs among one of the largest and most modern buildings in Slovakia, where you can watch amazing artistic performances of our professional actors.

The history of the theater began to be written back in 1833, when the first Nitra theater managed to welcome up to 360 visitors into its premises. The building of this theater stood here until a bomb strike destroyed it during World War II. However, even these wartime conditions did not prevent the spread of culture, and the theater artists moved into the premises of the TJ Sokol gym. The activities of the theater persisted here for more than 60 years. In 1979, the actors returned back to the Nitrianske krajové divadlo, which was named after Andrej Bagar.

The theater currently focuses mainly on drama, but its premises can be transformed for performances of opera, operetta, and ballet. It consists of two halls,  one with a capacity of 577 seats and the second, smaller one, which is an experimental studio for a 150-member audience. In the repertoire of this theater, you will find musicals in addition to drama plays. In the early evening hours, its large hall regularly fills up with people in beautiful gowns, craving an artistic experience and at the same time relaxation from the worries of everyday days.

The theater world is not only about acting, it is also about education. A library that operates directly on the premises of the theater serves these purposes. Students, amateur ensembles, as well as the general public can study dramatic texts and specialized literature here. This library is the only library in Slovakia specializing in theater and drama outside of Bratislava. It has more than 6,000 titles in its collection.

On the theater stage, you can also experience various performances of musical bodies, ensembles, broadcasts of television recordings, or shows. Festivals, which are also attended by visitors and theater artists from abroad, are popular formats as well. Among the most significant is the international theater festival Divadelná Nitra. A theater restaurant and a café, where you will find a diverse offer of food and drinks, are also available on the premises of the theater. Their services are also utilized when organizing formal receptions.

Enriched with new unforgettable experiences from the performance, you can head to your homes. In case of a longer stay, we can recommend accommodation near Divadlo Andreja Bagara. With fresh energy for the new day, you can also visit other interesting places in Nitra. You can learn stories about how our ancestors worked or how they raised animals at the Slovenské poľnohospodárske múzeum, part of which is also an interesting Skanzen. Beautifully decorated walls with various biblical motifs can be found at Nitriansky hrad. You can also clear your head with hiking on Zobor hill.

Kalvária Nitra

Kalvária Nitra

Nitra

Kalvária Nitra is located on a hill on the bank of the Nitra River in the southern part of the city. It is one of the most prominent landmarks of the city. It is a frequent and popular spot for walks by locals as well as tourists who love coming here to enjoy the views. During major holidays, Christian pilgrimages are organized here.

Originally, a different calvary built in the last third of the 18th century stood on the site of the current one. It had seven stations and was replaced in 1885 (and subsequently consecrated in that same year) by the present calvary, which has fourteen stations. The original Kaplnka sv. Kríža chapel was converted into Kaplnka Božieho hrobu. While in the early years the calvary was outside the urban area, development gradually began to approach it in the 19th century until it surrounded it in the 20th century. At present, the calvary is very clearly visible from the city, and tourists often start out right from the center of Nitra to go and see it. Near the calvary is Lurdská jaskyňa, which also serves as a chapel.

Overall, the calvary consists of twelve Neo-Romanesque chapels depicting twelve stations of the Stations of the Cross. They are arranged along the path leading from Kostol Nanebovzatia Panny Márie to Kaplnka Božieho hrobu. The latter is located at the top of the hill and represents the fourteenth station. In addition to the chapel of the final station, the Crucifixion statuary is also located at the top of the hill.

Since 1765, a small Renaissance monastery has stood at the top, originally built for the Spanish order of the Nazarenes. It gradually became a residence for retired priests and eventually an orphanage. Between 1878 and 1885, it was rebuilt in the Neo-Romanesque style, and in 1925, an additional floor was added until it ultimately became the Mission House of the Mother of God.

Tourists also enjoy taking a trip to the Nitra calvary, mainly due to the great view it offers. The landmarks of Nitra, Šibeničný vrch, Zoborské vrchy, Tribeč, Pohronský Inovec, Vtáčnik, and Štiavnické vrchy are all right in the palm of their hand. That is what you call a perfect panoramic view. Children and seniors can easily handle the walk to the top of the calvary; it is a pleasant stroll along a grassy path.

Come and experience Nitra from a different perspective. Book accommodation near Kalvária Nitra and follow in the footsteps of the Stations of the Cross. The nice and simple craftsmanship of the chapels underlines the power of the story they tell. You can find inspiration for your stay on the page accommodation Nitra.

Nitriansky hrad, Botanická záhrada Nitra, Nitrianska galéria, Svoradova jaskyňa, Dražovský kostolík, or Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie are just a few of them. Where will you head first?

Hradisko Zobor

Nitra

At the same time, it is also included in our list of national cultural monuments. Through the built educational trail, you will learn a lot of interesting information about it here, which will transport you to ancient times.

The origin of this unique fortification protecting the Zobor hill dates back to the late Bronze Age, namely to the period from the 10th to the 8th century BC.

Visitors can enjoy that amazing view of the wide surroundings even today.

The main task of the hillfort, located on the high edge of the Carpathians above the Podunajská nížina, was the protection of the territory. At that time, it extended over a rugged area of 15 ha at an altitude of 520 – 587 m a. s. l. Entrance gates were built at three places. Currently, you can admire with your own eyes the remains of an approximately 2 km long defensive rampart, the height of which reaches up to 7 m in places.

In order to make this attraction interesting for all age groups, people from the local civic association managed to create the Historický náučný chodník Hradisko Zobor. On its almost 2 km long route, you will learn interesting information about the pyramid on Zobor, the mentioned entrance gates, or the basin serving as a water cistern. The route is not very demanding, it leads along a marked trail with 8 information boards and will take you about 45 minutes. The total elevation gain of the route is 110 m.

From the hillfort, you have excellent access to the pyramid on the Zobor hill, where you can treat yourself to a picnic after this information-packed load. If you desire to relax in the water after a hike, feel free to stop by to refresh yourself in the pools of the Kúpaliska na Sihoti – Nitra on the way back. From here, you can direct your steps to an evening performance at the Divadlo Andreja Bagara and, strengthened by a cultural experience, set off to rest in accommodation near Hradisko Zobor.

In the offer of accommodation facilities near the hillfort and its surroundings, you can choose from those that appeal to you the most. Families with children often choose apartments in Nitra as their temporary home, couples prefer a room in a hotel, and seniors mostly settle for private accommodation in Nitra.

Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie

Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie

Nitra

Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie, a charming piece of our country, is one of Slovakia's 14 protected landscape areas. You will often encounter the abbreviation CHKO Ponitrie. Covering an area of 37,665 hectares, it spans a relatively broad territory. It stretches across three regions (Banskobystrický, Nitriansky, and Trenčiansky), and its administration oversees multiple districts. It covers the territory of the Bánovce nad Bebravou, Levice, Nitra, Partizánske, Topoľčany, and Zlaté Moravce districts, while also partially reaching into the Žarnovica and Žiar nad Hronom districts. The entire area belongs to two distinct geomorphological units: Tribeč and Vtáčnik.

The territory was declared a protected landscape area in 1985. The elevation range is quite significant, the lowest point sits at 170 meters above sea level in the Tribeč mountain range, while the highest point is the summit of Vtáčnik at 1,346 meters above sea level. Together, the mountain ranges form an imaginary border separating central Slovakia from western Slovakia. The primary focus of protection in the landscape area includes continuous forest habitats as well as forest-steppe and steppe flora and fauna. A level two degree of protection applies across the entire area. Additionally, there are 7 sites of European importance and 1 protected bird area located here, all belonging to the NATURA 2000 network of protected areas.

Explore the Famous Mountain Ranges Vtáčnik and Tribeč

The Vtáčnik mountain range is the second highest mountain range of the volcanic Slovenské rudohorie dating back to the Tertiary period. It falls into a climatically cooler and more humid region. It is characterized by beech stands and native spruce forests, alongside mixed stands of beech and fir. The flora mostly consists of mountain plants. Rare species can be found here, such as Crepis sibirica (škarda sibírska) and a moss of European significance, Dicranum viride (dvojhrot zelený). An interesting feature is the presence of stunted beech growth and isolated pockets of native spruce forest, which mix with blueberry patches and rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia). The fauna typically includes our native carnivores (wolf, lynx, bear) as well as numerous bird species. Among the unique natural formations are crumbling rock towers on the main ridge of Vtáčnik, a volcanic cylindrical chimney on the peak of Ostrovica, and the canyon of Bystričanská dolina with the rock walls of Hrádok and Veľká skala.

The Tribeč mountain range is part of the Vnútorné Západné Karpaty from the Mesozoic period. Except for its uppermost parts, it falls within a climatically warm mountain zone. Oak-hornbeam forests predominate here. Both fauna and flora are unique, hosting a vast array of protected and rare species. The Podunajská nížina plain also exerts a significant influence, bringing in warmer air. Among the fauna, an interesting highlight is the bison park near Topoľčianky (Zubria zvernica), where European bison have been bred for a long time. Botanically unique is the protected area Jelenská gaštanica, where the first attempt at an artificially established stand of sweet chestnut was carried out in the 13th century. Today, the oldest trees are over 300 years old. In the Tribeč range, the phenomenon of quartzite knolls (Hôrky) is exceptionally well developed, featuring the rare plant Teucrium scorodonia (hrdobarka páchnuca), along with many acidophilic plants (such as common heather and hairy greenweed), flowering herbs (such as mountain scabious and hawkweeds), and ferns. When visiting Tribeč, it is definitely worth checking out Oponický hrad, Gýmeš, or Čierny hrad. A truly unique place in Tribeč is Hôrky, an area of European importance that encompasses the Národná prírodná rezervácia Hrdovická national nature reserve and the nature reserves Solčiansky háj and Kovarská hôrka.

Interesting Fauna and Flora of Ponitrie

The fauna across the entire Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie is exceptionally diverse. Invertebrates are heavily represented, making up a substantial portion of the more than 7,500 currently known animal species occurring in the area. Beetles have a major presence (such as the stag beetle and alpine longhorn beetle), as do butterflies (like swallowtails and the giant peacock moth), along with various other insects, spiders, crustaceans, and mollusks. Numerous streams in the area are home to fish (such as brown trout and European bullhead) and amphibians (like the common frog and European tree frog). Except for the European pond turtle and the European copper skink, reptiles are represented by all species found in our country. Mammals range from small species (like the Alpine shrew) to bats, aquatic carnivores (Eurasian otter), and large carnivores (such as the Eurasian lynx and gray wolf). A large number of birds nest here, from lowland to mountain forest species. Notable mentions include the black stork and the eastern imperial eagle. Furthermore, the protected bird area Chránené vtáčie územie Tribeč is located here, established due to the presence of numerous bird species.

Given the diversity of the territory, the flora of the entire Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie can be characterized by an immense variety of species and vegetation composition. Thermophilic Pannonian as well as mountain Carpathian species grow here. The entire area is predominantly covered by forests, with overall forest coverage reaching 96.8%. You will find a wide range of different plant communities here. Over time, rare drought-loving and heat-loving communities reminiscent of steppes and forest-steppes have formed on cliffs, rocks, and screes. Xerothermic communities are found in Zoborské vrchy. In spring, you will see rare protected species (such as the pygmy iris and spring pheasant's eye) as well as species of European importance (such as the large pasqueflower or the endemic species of Zoborské vrchy and Slovenský kras, Thlaspi jankae). Open woodland areas are characterized by orchids (such as the Adriatic lizard orchid and purple orchid) or various protected plants (such as the field rose and Achillea ochroleuca). The driest rocky spots are characterized by succulents (such as Jovibarba globifera and white stonecrop).

Enjoy the Perfect Combination of Hiking and History

Educational trails are definitely an attractive feature for hikers. You can walk Náučný chodník Zobor (14.7 km), Náučný chodník Buchlov (5.3 km), or Náučný chodník Vtáčnik (5.7 km plus a 2.1 km detour). In total, Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie includes 59 hiking routes covering a distance of 268 km and 52 caves. In addition, you can visit many historical monuments, including various castles, châteaux, and ruins. And perhaps you will be drawn to Tribeč by the story of a Slovak author, which was also adapted into a film based on the original book. Should that be the case, be careful—one never knows whether those stories are fabricated or based on truth. In any case, we recommend booking accommodation near Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie and coming to explore all its beauty in person. After all, nothing beats a firsthand experience. You can find accommodation inspiration on the accommodation in Nitra page, for example.
