The Spiš castle 2013 /HD/

Spiš Castle was built in the 12th century on the site of an earlier castle. It was the political, administrative, economic and cultural centre of Szepes County[1] of the Kingdom of Hungary. Before 1464, it was owned by the kings of Hungary, afterwards (until 1528) by the Zápolya family, the Thurzó family (1531--1635), the Csáky family (1638--1945), аnd (since 1945) by the state of Czechoslovakia then Slovakia.

Originally a Romanesque stone castle with fortifications, a two-story Romanesque palace and a three-nave Romanesque-Gothic basilica were constructed by the second half of the 13th century. A second extramural settlement was built in the 14th century, by which the castle area was doubled. The castle was completely rebuilt in the 15th century; the castle walls were heightened and a third extramural settlement was constructed. A late Gothic chapel was added around 1470. The Zápolya clan performed late Gothic transformations, which made the upper castle into a comfortable family residence, typical of late Renaissance residences of the 16th and 17th centuries. The last owners of the Spiš Castle, the Csáky family, abandoned the castle in the early 18th century because they considered it too uncomfortable to live in. They moved to the newly built nearby village castles/palaces in Hodkovce near Žehra and Spišský Hrhov. In 1780, the castle burned down, and has been in ruins ever since. The castle was partly reconstructed in the second half of the 20th century, and extensive archaeological research was carried out on the site. The reconstructed sections house displays of the Spiš Museum.

Vlkolínec, Slovakia / Slovensko / Słowacja

Vlkolínec, Slovakia, is a picturesque village under the administration of the town of Ružomberok. Historically, however, it was a separate village. The first written mention of the village came from 1376 and after 1882 it became part of Ružomberok. Its name is probably derived from the Slovak word vlk, i. e. wolf.
Vlkolínec has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993, and is one of ten Slovak villages that have been given the status of a folk architecture reservations. This status was granted because the village is an untouched and complex example of folk countryside architecture of the region of the Northern Carpathians.( )

슬로바키아 라이의 초입에 들어서자마자 맑은 시냇물이 나를 반긴다. 이끼와 풀은 자연 그대로 푸른 생명을 간직하고 있다. 그런데 이 천국에는 길이 없다. 아니 길이 있긴 있는데 길이 없는 길을 내 놓았다. 발 한번 잘못 디디면 몇 길 밑의 급류에 쓸리는 꽃잎처럼 되어 버릴 것이다. 살살 걸어보니 걷는 재미도 난다. 스릴 있다. 사람들이 이런 재미로 여기를 찾나 보다. 여기 올 때마다 저는 감동을 받습니다. 18살부터 여기에 오기 시작했는데요, 지금은 53살이고요. 여기 있는 모든 게 옛날 그대로 예요. “이곳이 왜 이곳이 천국이라 불리는 거죠?” 왜냐하면 제가 말한 그대로니까요. 제가 말한 그대로죠. 그렇다. 자연은 그대로여야 좋다. 돌을 깎거나 도로를 내지 않고 불편하더라도 최소한의 인공만 가미한다. 그래서 거의 길이 없어서 길 찾기가 숨은그림찾기 수준. 슬로바키아 라이에는 이런 크고 작은 폭포가 수십 개 있다한다. 올라가는 사다리가 꼭 임시로 놓은 사다리 같다. 그래도 사람들은 그 폭포를 피하거나 쉽게 올라가는 길이 없다고 불평하지 않는다.

Словацькі партнери про нас: Навчальний тур Словаччиною

Словацькі партнери 10-12 червня 2015 р. влаштували навчальний тур для команд Центрів Першого Контакту Коломиї та Іршави, що створені у рамках проекту Створення партнерських Центрів Першого Контакту в Україні та їх взаємна співпраця, який реалізовано у рамках Програми прикордонного співробітництва ЄІСП Угорщина-Україна-Словаччина-Румунія 2007-2013.

Project with the name Creation of partner first contact centers in Ukraine and their mutual cooperation is nearing its final phase and we can slowly evaluate it. Within the scale of the project were built and technically equipped two first contact centers, one in the city Kolomia and the second one in the city Iršava. A cycle of personnel training took place in the newly opened First contact centers. This study tour was meant to introduce the new personnel and project team with the activity and work of the counseling centers for businessmen, which are active in Slovakia and in our region. Individual information centers have various subjects of activities. For example in Levoča, it is focused on the development of countryside tourism.
SY: Andrea Hradiská - CPK Levoča- If I should advise our colleagues in Ukraine how to lead their centers or what is important then the first thing is to consider, if financial means or sources from state programs exist, which they could use and if not, it is necessary to consider what human capabilities they posses, because it is important in what region you are situated.
The idea for the establishment of information centers in Slovakia went into realization 20 years ago. In the year 2002 were these centers expanded with offices which act in regions with a high rate of unemployment. Among the most active centers count the regional consultancy - information center in Prešov.
SY: Lucia Krišová - manager of RPIC Prešov - We operate on the market for 20 years now, so the experiences kept pilling up on us. They are experiences with projects, as well as clients, who went through our hands, business plans which we developed and institutions with which we cooperate. Sometimes, we have the feeling, that the public doesn´t know much about us, but we sometimes also feel that all it takes is a seminar or an event where we can present ourselves and the response is instantly bigger. I have to say that our clients try to spread informations about us.
All these informations were processed and submitted to our Ukraine partners, who took the idea, but adjusted it according to Ukraine legislative. They serve as a work manual for newly opened centers in Ukraine.
SY: Vitaliy Galaichuk - director of FCC Kolomia - First I would like to thank mr. Závacký for his invitation and for the possibility to see Michalovce and other cities during our project for the creation of partner first contact centers in Ukraine. We have our own office, we have staff who work and gain european experiences, which we will apply here in the Ukraine working with the first contact centers in Iršava. Michalovce and other cities of Slovakia.
Participants, besides the workshop, had an opportunity to see the beauty of Slovakia. They visited the biggest castle in middle Europe, the Spis castle, they got acquainted with the making of baskets in the village Lacková near Stará Ľubovňa, and they also visited the museum of customs and traditions of north Slovakia in Nestvil park. During the workshop in Stará Ľubovňa, representatives of seven advisory centers presented their activities and the working of their centers. Participants had the opportunity to visit some of the offices and see with their own eyes how the work. From Stará Ľubovňa, Anna Činčárová
