Where to go on a trip Vráble

A European unique, Arborétum Mlyňany SAV, is situated between the villages of Vieska nad Žitavou and Tesárske Mlyňany in the district of Zlaté Moravce. The protected area of the botanical garden stands out with its rich collection of trees and shrubs. Its collections, which contain more than 2,300 species of woody plants from the Mediterranean, America, Africa, and Asia, place it in the position of the most significant dendrological facility in Slovakia. The unique green area, dominated by a picturesque manor house, is open to the public year-round.

The arboretum was founded in 1892 by the Hungarian nobleman Štefan Ambrózy-Migazzi. His main goal was to concentrate as many exotic trees and shrubs as possible in the botanical garden and to demonstrate their viability in our climatic conditions. In an oak-hornbeam grove, he gradually planted woody species imported from Germany, France, or England. The beginnings of the planting were linked to the construction of a Neoclassical manor house with a tower, which was completed in 1894. By 1925, it was possible to plant more than 300 species of evergreen plants in the arboretum. After World War II, the area came under state administration and was later taken over by the Slovak Academy of Sciences, which manages it to this day.

The arboretum currently covers an area of 67 ha, and its plant collection is divided according to a geographical principle into 5 parts with constructed educational trails. The central part consists of the oldest Ambrózyho park with a beautiful manor house and a predominance of monumental oak trees and original hornbeam stands. In the arboretum, you can also walk among the trees and shrubs of Asia, North America, Korea, and of course, there is also an area dedicated to Slovak dendroflora. The presentation of woody species in each part of the arboretum is combined with the typical architecture of the respective regions, complemented by small ponds and lakes.

In addition to being an important scientific workplace dedicated to research, the arboretum opens its park with a unique collection of trees and shrubs to the general public. You can freely stroll through the arboretum, with diverse species of trees, shrubs, and flowers from various corners of the world providing a backdrop. The park's information system will introduce you to the dendroflora of individual areas and draw your attention to points of interest. Among the most beautiful sectors is undoubtedly the East Asian section. The most visited period is related to the blooming of rhododendrons, which takes place at the end of April and the beginning of May. The green park also includes an ornamental plant nursery, from which you will certainly take home a rare piece for your garden.

Allow us to invite you for a walk through the charming world of global flora.

Not only loaded with information but also enriched with knowledge about energy, you can leave Energoland. It is an interactive information center focused mainly on education about energy and electricity production. You will learn about how electrical energy is generated and what inputs are required for it if you visit this center.

Most of us learned in school about how energy is generated in power plants.

The center is located in the village of Kalná nad Hronom, which lies between Levice and Nitra. Entrance to the center is free of charge, so not only students but also adult visitors can find something to enjoy.

Energoland consists of more than 30 objects, applications, and interactive exhibits. Through the combination of entertainment and education, its visitors can gain information not only about energy and electricity production, but also about global warming or the carbon footprint. Have you heard about the energy mix, how the power grid is managed, or what radiation affects us? So that you do not focus your perspective only on information about nuclear energy, you can learn more about the sources from which energy can be produced via boards or a mobile app. It does not have to be just water, the sun, or wind; there can be other options as well.

An interesting feature of this project is that a virtual guide named Gaia, which in Greek mythology means the mother of Earth, will accompany you throughout the entire tour. She can direct you to a 3D cinema, where you will be thrilled by the movie blockbuster Odyssey of Energy (Odysea energie). The film presents information about the development of the universe, Earth, and energy sources since the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. Popular exhibits also include a model of an emission-free motorcycle, an engaging interactive LED floor, or a thermal mirror. The Energy Map (Mapa energie) will also guide you in the right direction. If you do not know what to imagine under that name, set off to Energoland.

Enthusiastic from the tour and with photos in your mobile device, you can leave for your homes.

Do you long for the sea, but it seems too far away? Then do not hesitate to visit the thermal park in Podhájska. This Slovak unique gem has almost the exact same water composition as the Dead Sea. Therefore, you can treat yourself to a unique holiday utilizing all the positive effects of salty seawater. What is more, in a pleasant Southern Slovak environment.

The history of the thermal spring begins in 1973. A borehole nearly 2 kilometres deep aimed to find water usable for heating greenhouses. However, due to the spring's exceptional properties and its convenient location, it began to be used for recreational purposes. Pools, sanitary facilities, and changing rooms sprang up here very quickly. Later, a restaurant and a hotel were added as well. In the early 1990s, the facility underwent reconstruction. Since that period, the swimming pool area has been constantly expanding and refining its services and offerings.

The miraculous water in Podhájska reaches a temperature of almost 80 °C at the spring. For use, it is naturally diluted to a temperature of around 30 degrees. You can visit the thermal swimming pool complex at any time of year, with the exception of April. Bathing in an outdoor hot pool in the cold winter is certainly an unusual experience. In addition to perfect relaxation, the thermal salt water has a beneficial effect on various ailments. These mainly include musculoskeletal problems. Very good effects have also been recorded with skin conditions and respiratory tract diseases.

The swimming pool complex currently consists of several facilities. The recently opened wellness center Aquamarin features an outdoor and indoor pool world, a Turkish bath, and a botanical garden. The main indoor pool is equipped with numerous water attractions. Inside you will also find whirlpool pools and a children's pool. Part of the wellness center is the so-called Vital World. Its offer includes, for example, saunas, a water hell, or an icefall. The relaxation and reconditioning complex offers many complementary services. Here too, you will find saunas, a solarium, a fitness center, and even a hairdresser and cosmetics. You can also try hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, or massages. As for the pools themselves, the selection is very wide. There are two children's pools, two recreational pools, a sitting pool, pools with attractions and a water slide, a pool for swimmers, and a pool for non-swimmers.

If you get tired of the water, you can spend your time doing other activities. A playground with a sandbox awaits children. Adults can play soccer or volleyball on the sand court, or make use of the aforementioned massages, saunas, and fitness center. If you are lucky, the annual Slávnosti ľudových remesiel (Crafts Fair) might take place right at the time of your stay. Right above the village of Podhájska lie the ruins of an old monastery with a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape. The local village pond can also be the destination of a pleasant walk.

Complementing the water relaxation can be the salt cave in Starý Tekov. Interesting historical towns in this region are Nové Zámky, Nitra, and Levice.

Accommodation options in Podhájska are almost endless. You can stay in apartments and guesthouses, either directly within the pool area or in the village. A campsite and a chalet settlement with bungalows operate here as well. In the village, there is also a large number of private accommodation offers. The sea is the sea, but it is not accessible to everyone. And right for people who would like to make use of its healing effects, there is Termálne kúpalisko Podhájska. Here you can relax completely, go wild, and enjoy the summer, sun, water, and the healing power of sea minerals to your heart's content.

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.

Will you be appealed more by cost-effective apartments Nitra or will you choose a room in hostels Nitra as your temporary home? It depends solely on you.

In the picturesque village of Bardoňovo, in the district of Nové Zámky, stands a 19th-century Neoclassical manor house known as Kaštieľ Bardoňovo. Originally a small Baroque residence, it belonged to the Kelecsényi family. Through gradual renovations, they transformed it into a manor house that remembers from the lives of its owners not only happy, but unfortunately also sad stories and events. Take a look inside the manor house and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, which you can use for a romantic walk.

The Kelecsényi family gradually acquired properties in the surrounding area and raised their status. For that reason, it was necessary to give the manor house a new look, so they decided to enlarge and rebuild it. At the end of the 19th century, Rafael Kelecsényi, who was a prominent figure in the cultural and political life of the former Bars county (Tekovská župa), expanded the northern part of the manor house and completed the entire eastern wing. The manor house and its facades acquired Neo-Baroque elements.

Later, the manor house became the residence of his daughter Irena. In her life, she had to cope with the death of her husband, who was shot by Soviet soldiers during World War II. The manor house was looted, first serving as a German headquarters and later as a hospital set up by Soviet soldiers. Shortly after the end of the war, Irena moved to Hungary. The manor house fell into disrepair until 1991, when it underwent extensive reconstruction.

The dominant feature of the building is the semicircular section housing a ceremonial hall, which is currently used for various social, cultural, or private events. Thanks to its capacity for up to 120 people, the manor house is sought after especially for weddings. In the right wing, you will find a café open year-round. Come and take a closer look at this interesting monument and enjoy a coffee or a refreshing drink in the café area.

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.

It is fascinating to walk alongside the several centuries old Hradisko Zobor, which is located in Nitra. This interesting attraction is the oldest and most extensive monument in the territory of the city and its surroundings. 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. At that time, the peak of Zobor was an acropolis for people belonging to the higher social class. The strategic position of this hill ensured that later this place was used as a watchpoint. Visitors can enjoy that amazing view of the wide surroundings even today.
