SK, Dolná Krupá - the world of roses and honey
In the north-western part of the Danube Plain, approximately 10 kilometres from Trnava, lies the picturesque village of Dolná Krupá, famous for its classical castle, the musical personality Ludwig van Beethoven and, last but not least, the pink countess and founder of the rosarium Marie Henriette Chotkova. Today, however, we invite you to take a stroll through the local English park or the charming Medolandie complex with its rosarium, rose nursery and fun and games bee trail.
