    The Educational Trail of Artists leads behind the Choč Spa Hotel, Dependance Liptov, and Balneocentrum. The trail is dedicated to famous artists who worked in Lúčky. The gazebo is dedicated to Milan Michal Harminc, a well-known architect who designed Dependance Liptov; the artistic benches are dedicated to Tadeáš Salva, a famous composer and native of Lúčky, and Jožko Piťo, one of the most famous primás in Slovakia, who regularly played in Lúčky and contributed to the development of Slovak folk music.

    Author’s recommendation

    The educational trail is an ideal route for seniors or families with small children. The benches shaped like musical instruments are a very nice photo point and an addition.

    An ideal route for a pleasant afternoon in nature full of beautiful photo points.

    Roadbook

    The route starts with a gently ascending path right by the spa hotel Choč, leading you to a meadow and continues past the gazebo, A. Plávka's bench up to the crossroads. From the crossroads, pleasant switchbacks lead to D. Ševca's bench and the chapel of St. Anthony of Padua. From there, it’s just a short way to the top of the hill called "Bald Hill," where the bench dedicated to Tadeáš Salva is located. From there, in good weather, there is a beautiful view of the Low Tatras. Next, you continue by joining a pleasant forest path heading to J. Piťo's bench and the local water tower. From there, you return by asphalt road back in front of the Choč Spa House, where on the way you can stop at the Valentin spring, the spa fountain, or the bench of thanks and wishes.
