Fačkovské sedlo

Kľačno

Many skiers enjoy constantly discovering new ski resorts, new slopes, and challenges. Large and famous resorts are no longer what appeals to them. If you are of a similar nature, head somewhere other than just Vysoké Tatry or Nízke Tatry. Give it a try at Fačkovské sedlo.

The ski resort is located on the border of the Malá Fatra and Strážovské vrchy mountain ranges. You will find it near the village of Kľačno. Transport is not a problem; you can get here from Žilina via Rajec, and it can also be reached from the direction of Martin or Prievidza.

Although the resort does not belong among the largest, it can satisfy every skier. It offers 4 ski lifts, 3 of which are for less demanding skiers. These serve blue-marked slopes, which are the easiest ones. They are suitable for children or beginners. The longest lift covers the slopes for more experienced skiers. The longest slope is approximately one kilometer in length, and all slopes combined measure 6 km. The most popular is the slope with the simple name "Zjazdovka". It is of medium difficulty, and the vast majority of skiers will find something to enjoy here.

Fačkovské sedlo also offers something for connoisseurs, truly advanced skiers. Almost 40% of the slopes in the resort are black, meaning the most demanding ones. However, this section lacks artificial snowmaking and thus depends on natural snowfall. But when there is enough snow, you will enjoy a ride through virgin powder like out of a movie.

Fačkovské sedlo features artificial lighting, so you can head out onto the skis even after dark. A matter of course are snack bars or a ski and snowboard school. You will have the entire resort in the palm of your hand from the highest peak, Homôľka, with an altitude of 1,063 meters above sea level.

If you happen to get tired of skiing, Fačkovské sedlo offers plenty of other activities. For example, snowmobiles, cross-country skiing trails, sledding, or ski touring trips. Sports-minded people will certainly find their niche and forget about boredom.

Tourists will surely appreciate the location along the hiking trail Cesta hrdinov SNP. The nearby monument is also dedicated to the Slovak National Uprising. In case of a multi-day skiing trip, you will need some nice accommodation. You can fully soak up the mountain atmosphere in local mountain huts or at a sheep farm (salaš). If you are looking for comfort, close to the resort is a pleasant hotel or numerous private accommodations in the adjacent villages, for example in Kľačno.

Although Fačkovské sedlo does not rank among the most modern or famous resorts, you will lose nothing by visiting it, and we guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised.

Ski Park Závada pod Čiernym Vrchom

Ski Park Závada pod Čiernym Vrchom

Kšinná

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.

Getting to this relatively small ski resort is possible by turning off past the center of the village according to the directional sign towards the local sheep farm. Within two kilometers of it, the ski resort is built in the middle of a unique natural scenery. We recommend using snow chains so that you and your car do not end up in a piled-up heap of snow.

The area lies at an altitude of 560 – 760 m a. s. l., and its dominant feature is Čierny vrch. 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.

In the surroundings of the Ski Park Závada pod Čiernym vrchom, you will also be able to look around for interesting attractions. Nearby, you can go up to the ruin of the Uhrovec castle. On the way to it, you can also stop in the village of Uhrovec, which is the birthplace of A. Dubčeka and Ľ. Štúra. After a hearty day of skiing, you can regenerate in the nearby pools of the Termálneho kúpaliska Malé Bielice. Do not miss the glass-making open-air museum Sklársky skanzen Sklenný sen in Valaskej Belej, where you will discover the secrets associated with glass production.

Since skiing is a physically demanding sport, we realize that it is necessary to rest after this activity. Nearby, you will find facilities that will provide you with the best accommodation near the Ski Park Závada pod Čiernym vrchom. In our offer, we have fantastic cottages and chalets in Kšinnej or also private accommodation Kšinná. It all depends solely on your preferences.

Trenčianske Teplice

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.

Botanický park - Lednické Rovne

Botanický park - Lednické Rovne

Lednické Rovne

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. If you like the idea of such a relaxing holiday, you can find the best accommodation near Botanický park Lednické Rovne on our accommodation in Lednické Rovne page. It is entirely up to you whether you prefer quality services in guesthouses or privacy in one of the romantic cottages.

Ski Kľačno

Ski Kľačno

Kľačno

Some ski resorts are located in rather unconventional places. You might not expect that you could go for quality and affordable skiing to the Horná Nitra region, in the vicinity of the town of Prievidza. Right here lies the small village of Kľačno. You will find it north of Prievidza, a few kilometers below the boundary of the Národný park Malá Fatra. The slopes are just a short distance from the village, which is only 500 meters away. You will find the parking lot in the immediate vicinity of the ski lifts, so you do not have to worry about a long walk to the slope.

The Ski Kľačno ski resort is situated at an altitude of 450 – 650 meters above sea level. That is not much, but there is still plenty of snow here for more than two months. The guarantee of snow is the northern orientation of the slopes. Interestingly, the resort does not have an artificial snowmaking system. It is thus suitable for those who want to try skiing on guaranteed natural snow.

There are two ski lifts at Ski Kľačno. The first one, shorter with a length of 300 meters, serves a blue slope for beginner skiers. On this slope, they will learn all the necessary basics of movement on skis. The second lift is 550 meters long and serves two slopes. One of them is also blue, suitable for beginners, but there is also one red slope for intermediate skiers. Thanks to this distribution of slopes, the resort is suitable for affordable family skiing where you can teach your children to ski while enjoying great skiing on the more demanding red slope.

The total length of the slopes in the resort is 1.1 km. A snow groomer ensures the quality of the slopes, making all slopes perfectly prepared from the morning. Despite the small size of the resort, you will find night lighting here, allowing you to enjoy night skiing. The Ski Kľačno ski resort also caters to cross-country skiing enthusiasts. Long kilometers of cross-country trails are prepared for them. They start directly in the ski resort, which is why all skiers, both downhill skiers and cross-country runners, gather here. Refreshment options are a matter of course in the resort. You will find a snack bar with favorable prices and an added cherry on top: a fireplace where you can even roast sausages or bacon.

A homely atmosphere, individual approach, and budget-friendly prices, making you feel at home every step of the way. All this is offered by the Kľačno ski resort. A friendly approach emanates from accommodation providers as well. Right next to the slopes, you will find mountain chalets and wooden cottages. You can also choose simpler accommodation in a nature school or more luxurious accommodation in apartments or private rooms. And believe us, you will feel comfortable here and will gladly return.

Slovenský Betlehem

Slovenský Betlehem

Rajecká Lesná

Slovenský betlehem is a masterpiece by the woodcarver Jozef Pekar. You can admire it in the Žilina district, in Rajecká Lesná, more precisely in the House of God's Mercy (sometimes referred to as the House of the Nativity of Christ). Its name is not accidental; in addition to the commonly depicted birth of Christ, it also portrays the history of the Slovak nation. Besides the best-known sceneries that are inextricably linked with Slovakia, master Pekar also captured the everyday life of Slovaks in the past.

What is fascinating is that the betlehem is not static, but the figures move, thereby adding to the overall authenticity of the masterpiece. This also enables people who do not like reading about history and customs to absorb this interesting part of our history. Because just as children stand in awe and with open mouths in front of Slovenský betlehem, adults often stand there with bated breath as well.

Jozef Pekar began working on this woodcarving masterpiece after his retirement in 1980. It took him a long 15 years to complete it. The work was ceremonially opened to the public on November 26, 1995, back then still without the Eastern Slovak and Western Slovak regions. However, those were carved and added to the work in subsequent years. Every Slovak location is blessed. The dimensions of the betlehem are 8.5 m in length, 2.5 m in width, and 3 m in height. Altogether, there are about 300 figures on the area, of which approximately half are static and the other half move. Some are working, others are having fun. If you look closely, you will even see a bear running by.

Rajecký betlehem, as locals sometimes call it, is a rarity towards which people from all over our country head daily. However, the work is so well known that it is nothing unusual to hear another national language around it. It ranks among the largest wooden carved betlehems in all of Europe. The building where Slovenský betlehem is located also exhibits woodcarvings by other Rajecká Dolina woodcarvers, be sure to check those out as well. They are located on the first floor.

If the wooden betlehem has caught your interest, we recommend planning a multi-day trip right away and combining it with a visit to other attractions. You can easily find accommodation near Slovenský betlehem on our portal. The accommodation in Rajecká Lesná subpage has a truly diverse offer, and everyone is sure to find something. Finally, we will give you a small tip: visit the Frivaldská kalvária, beneath which a healing spring flows.

Letecké múzeum Slávnica

Slavnica

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.

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.

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.

Kaštieľ a Múzeum regiónu Bielych Karpát

Kaštieľ a Múzeum regiónu Bielych Karpát

Bohunice (okres Ilava)

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.
