In addition to other exotic animals, you can observe the beauty of diverse birds, the movements of various fish species, or the daily life of farm animals. Woodland wildlife is also popular, where, besides deer or badgers, you will also see our common mountain inhabitant, the bear.

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

And so that it isn't only about the animals, there is a well-equipped children's playground in the courtyard featuring a wooden playhouse, climbing frames, swings, and slides. Have lunch at the farm restaurant, where they will treat you to delicious specialties made from their own homegrown and farm-raised ingredients. You can choose from a varied selection of meat, vegetable, and pastry dishes.

A great finishing touch to a fantastic day can be an afternoon spent at the summer Kúpalisko Nemšová swimming pool. After a successful day, definitely don't travel straight home; instead, stay in a cozy guesthouse. You can find the complete range of accommodation options around Gazdovstvo Uhliská on our page accommodation in Nemšová.

Over the following days, you can take trips around the area. Head to the nearby village of Slavnica and explore the Letecké múzeum Slávnica. During the summer, you can enjoy water fun at Bazén Grand, which is part of Kúpele Trenčianske Teplice.
