Farm and Camping Lazy

If this is your first visit to Slovakia, you're in for a treat: sleepy villages, folk festivals, old ruins, historical cities and peaceful countryside are all around this site. One such spot for a jaunt is Čabraď Castle (half an hour’s drive) for a hike through the forest in Slovakia's biggest national protected area, where you'll have views of the fortifications as well as stunning countryside (keep an eye out for snakes and other intriguing reptiles enroute too). If you’re up for a drive, go off on explores at Banska Stiavnica town with its handsome churches and a couple of castles (50 minutes); top pubs and restaurants for tasting Slovakian fare are in this settlement as well. Further on are trips to the Štiavnica Mountains (an hour) for serene strolls across this volcanic mountain range that’s part of Inner Western Carpathians, with lakes for wild dips to seek out along the way…
