Take a leisurely run in the morning dew, drink a coffee on the terrace and watch in silence to see if any deer or jay come to visit. Or bring with you that pile of books that has slowly gathered dust because you simply didn't have time with all your responsibilities. Or lie down in the net and "fly" for a while.
Wandering around?
Yes, there are many to choose from.
- those in the vicinity of Kutica can lead you to the nearby Tajch, where you can also swim in the summer
- in a slightly different direction and with a longer walk, you can reach the Háj lookout point, and feel free to head towards the Starohutianske waterfall. In addition to the aforementioned, there is also Kalvária, the Vojšín nature trail with a stop at Sedlová skala, Havrania skala, the nature reserve Bujakov vrch (where the protected large-flowered poniklec blooms), and we could name them until the morning.
Once you put those wandering shoes on your feet, you might bump into... trees on the way. Let us be precise, old - several hundred years old, with such a girth of the trunk that even three guys would have a hard time trying to get around them. And we have a few of them here - a linden from 1726, a 300-year-old pear, but you can also find 100-year-old sequoias here (one near Kohútkovo, another in Salašisk). Are you asking for more? Then head to the Arboretum in nearby Mlyňany.
To get a taste of the cultural and architectural experience, just walk to the center of Nova Bana.
The town hall would be able to tell you stories about the precious metals that once appeared here within its walls.
The parish church, again about the Turkish raids, you will find the Trinity Column and another church with a mining hospital, which was among the oldest in Central Europe.
And when you want to delve into the history of mining, why not see it with your own eyes - the Pohron Museum is located in the Town Hall, go to the Hron Heritage Tunnel, and the Trojkráľová Tunnel awaits. You can also go to the town of Hodruša-Hámra to the Hodrušská klopačka, which in ancient times served as an observation post during the Turkish wars, or to summon miners to work. And not just in any way, but with the help of signals emitted by knocking on a wooden board. We also recommend that you notice the clock on the knocker - it has 2 hands, but only one shows the time. Is that also why the knocker got on the UNESCO list? ;)
Did we mention the game yet? So, in addition to the cows that can sometimes run around near Kutica, you can become the adoptive parent of a small moose at the moose farm in Zveropark in Žarnovica. And if you prefer other four-legged creatures, the National Stud in Topoľčianki or the Zubria zvernica in Hostůovce come into consideration.
Btw, you can arrange to rent electric bikes with us (prices below).
