Trencin, Searching the Vrskovy Roots

Festivals for the rest of us
July 7 (Thursday), Budapest-Krivan Jon came back to Krivan with us on the train, as he is going to join us at the famous Detva festival this weekend. The next day we went into Zvolen to pick up our wedding photos. Jane and I sat down and went ...

... . So I met Andrea and Drahus at 2:30 and we headed to lunch. It was our goal this trip to give me a whirlwind taste of Slovakia, mainly the food. So I had fried cheese and a pilsner and their friend Martha from Texas came and hung out, and we had a great ...

What a surprise - Überraschung pur!
Am Mittwoch, 15.9., erreichten wir nach einer sehr langen Fahrt unser Ziel inmitten der Nacht. Wir hatten bereits einen Tag Autofahrt auf dem Buckel und rechneten damit, abends anzukommen. Da aber eine Strasse gesperrt war, mussten wir wenden und einen ...
Gypsies, grannies and family arrivals
... the clothes stores, mum complained about the heat and then denied doing so, dad mused on the socio-political-economic status of Central Slovakia and I just took as much of the whole thing in as I could. We stopped at a nice sidewalk restaurant for a bite ...
Easy Listening
... . Buying the ticket was very easy because the agent spoke fluent English. She even helped me pick-out a seat because movies in Slovakia used reserved seats. Buying popcorn, since I'd skipped lunch, was more difficult. I wanted a medium popcorn, and the ...
The Intruiging Slovakia
Managed to stop off in Bratislava for a day trip on our way to Vienna. It definitely has signs of communism with plenty of towering residential blocks all the same colour. The city is pretty small in comparison to other European capitals...but ...
More Mountains
I'm in Slovakia now (yes it is a different place than Slovenia, where I was before). I took the train from Budapest to Poprad, then a train that goes up into the mountains to a town called Stary Smokovec. I'm actually in a town a 3 min walk down the ...
Eastern Europe adventure starts here
... Budapest (another capital city in a short space would be too much) and into the hills north east of Bratislava towards central Slovakia. I hope for quiet roads, cheap food and friendly people. Lack of English spoken outside big cities may be a problem but ...
Spring Break Stop 4: Little Big City
... the birthplace of Liszt, the building where Mozart played at the age of 6 and the first university in Slovakia. After walking the footsteps of these young geniuses, we found that under Micheael's tower was a 0 km ...
Bad Timing, Good Timing
The day did not start off as planned. I arrived in Banská Štiavnica last night. The town was famous for being a major mining center from the Middle Ages, and the area was included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The world's oldest technical ...
Two Castles, Two Churches, Two Thousand Ants
... on by itself. St Martin's Cathedral wasn't all that impressive, and I'd seen higher quality Gothic altars in other churches in Slovakia. It did have some elaborate wooden family crests hanging at the tops of the walls. The crests were generally set inside ...
Castle country
Thursday, September 7 Jane's friend Kamila (AKA Kaja) and her Aussie fiancé Matt are getting married this Saturday in Slovakia's largest castle, n a town called Bojnice. To save tongue-twisting time, it is pronounced Boy-neet-say, not Bodge-nise, ...
Banska Bystrica, Slovakia
... 's mountain ranges and is an old German mining town. Rather than eating lunch, I decided to make the most of my time in the town and observed several important sites. ***I was really in Slovakia on July 9th but I made a mistake in the city ...
Bratislava
Just spent one night here. Not much to speak of. Isn't much like the film hostel which is meant to be based in Slovakia, thats a very good thing if you haven't seen it. They all die in the film! No one died when I was there. Went to a underground ...
clear mind
It was very convient and welcome that Katka, a friend from Valleyfair, happened to be going to the Zapadne Tatry Mountains at the same time I wanted to go to the High Tatras. Her brother was originally supposed to be the third in their party, but then he ...
Hiking
... , I again talk to the German lady, and get a room! Vratna is in the valley of the Malta Faltra range of mountains in north eastern slovakia. Again in the winter there is skiing. I decide to take off hiking since it's only 2pm. I have no hiking map, no ...

A small gem of a city

Banská Bystrica
Üle kolme tunnine bussisõit Bratislavast Banská Bystricasse oli päris pöörane. Buss läks täiesti täis. Kuna nälg näpistas, siis tuli ka lõuna bussis pidada, kaasa ostetud võileibade näol. Korraliku pika sõidu juurde käis ka seekord ...
Luge ride, entering Slovakia, Cage of Shame
... on these little sleds, that careen around the turns of the metal course. After Zakopane, we took the bus to the Poland/Slovakia border, and walked across. It was raining as we crossed the border. After getting our passports stamped, we walked a bit ...
Thumbs Down on Bratislava
... are the epitome of tourist bait. It was a fun night but that was mostly because of the Silovica. That is a drink from Slovakia made out of plums that can remove paint. We had another night planned for the gem that is Bratislava. However, after receiving ...
Bratislava
