name of thread is just stupid, so I'm not allowed to post photo of Slovakia? you know why others name their threads mostly "per post" so anyone can contribute
Aan I recognized my mistake very soon after I created the thread so I allowed to post photos a week. Unfortunately only the original name can be seen. Photos a week is nothing specific in number, so you can post photos aswell
PS: I didn´t want to create "per post" thread to avoid spamming this forum only with photos from Slovakia, as it didn´t have to remain attractive.
Today we continue with photo from UNESCO listed town Banská Štiavnica famous also for it´s precious museums, among which the mining museum in the nature stay on the top as the town was important mining centre during medieval ages bringing a lot of gold to the treasure of Kingdom. That time it was the 4th biggest town in the Kingdom. On the photo you can spot the Old Castle, Old Town hall and Spire of St. Catharine´s Church.
Two shots from Betliar chateau situated on the hills of Volovec mountains surrounded by huge english park. Nowadays a museum with articles collected from the whole world by Andrassy family. From egyptian mummies, crocodiles, rhinos to chinese porcelain and bed in which Napoleon was said to sleep during his Bratislava visit.
Dolina Zeleného Plesa (Valley of the Green Lake) situated on the edge of High Tatras Range. On the bottom of the picture you can see Zelene pleso (Green Lake). Even in 18th century it was common known and believed myth that this lake is connected with sea through it´s bottom and this theory was said to be proved when wrecks of old skunner were found in it..
Thanks Piotrek. Yes polish part of Tatras is also stunning.
And now because I didn´t post any image yesterday come two photos.
First is from Kremnica town during famous central european festival of satyre, comedy and parody called Kremnicke gagy. This usually take place in whole Kremnica, but this photo is from the main square of the town.
On the image you can see part of Ostra mountain situated in the vast range called Velka Fatra and in the background covered with the snow is the main ridge and of this beautiful range with the highest point called Ostredok. Velka Fatra is especially known for a high concentration of wild animals, mainly bears, wolfes and deers because it´s highest points are located quite far from the nearest towns or villages. So it´s a true slovak wilderness. And my experience with it last year was in this way when I met a baby bear but was very lucky to not meet his mother.
Slovensky Raj (Slovak Paradise). View from Maly Kysel Gorge. This National Park consists only of deep gorges, canoyns, caves, waterfalls with ladders, ravines, wild forests and sharp stone hills.
Košice, second biggest city of Slovakia and it´s main sight: St. Elisabeth´s Cathedral, one of the biggest cathedrals of Central Europe and St. Michael´s Chappel illuminated during night.
Pics from nature will follow now. The image shows panoramatic view of Western Tatras as seen from the opposite lying Low Tatras. Both ranges are divided by magnificient Liptov valley.
