Today we will set off through photographs to a city famous for its mining past, but also for the Slovak National Uprising. Surely you already know that we will visit Banská Bystrica. In addition to the history associated with mining, especially silver and copper, it offers a unique SNP memorial, an attractive center declared a city monument reserve and the only Slovak map museum located in the suburbs (in the village Kynceľová) of this Central Slovak capital.

Near the town of Žarnovica, the 23-hectare Zvěropark offers interesting animals (some of which you can pet), amazing corners with a pond or waterfall, as well as a children's landscape with famous fairy tale characters, all surrounded by beautiful nature. The biggest attraction, besides the wetland elk, are all sorts of activities ranging from playing in the playgrounds to tractor train tours to picnicking and barbecuing in the flowering meadows.
