Selected alternatives for you

    Above the village of Tekovská Breznica once stood a castle that silently guarded the roads along the Hron River to the wealthy mining towns. During a family trip, you will discover the remains of the castle hidden under layers of soil and leaves, and from the lookout, you might also see the Nová Baňa crocodile.
