The Slavs arrived in this
territory in the 5th and 6th
centuries. They played a
significant role in the
creation of Great Moravia.
In the 10th century, after
the end of Great Moravia,
the territory became a part
of the Kingdom of Hungary
in 1000. After WWI and the
end of Austria-Hungary,
Slovakia was part of
Czechoslovakia, together
with Czech "brothers".

the main street going from the park to Liberty Square. There are 3 supermarkets, 3 primary and
secondary schools. Many kindergardens. One park, lots of hills around.

Protected linden tree is 23m tall and do some Maths to find out its circumference :-).

They have recently put some benches near the tree, so people can sit there and relax.

It‘s surely fine for a walk with your family, because the
road there isn´t difficult. It‘s built from a wooden
