A legend is connected with Javorina saying that Turks once dined at a place called "stolíky". For lunch, they had a large roasted rooster, and then the leader of the Turks said: "If this rooster crows, we will leave the region." The rooster allegedly stood up on its feet and crowed. The Turks kept their word and left the region. However, you should definitely not leave this region; instead, set out to discover other great attractions in the surrounding area. Experiences of exploration will be provided by Železničné múzeum as well as Mestské múzeum. Make your stay more enjoyable and visit Mestská krytá plaváreň.
