Slovakia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Slovakia.
Slovakia has a long and varied history and contains Europe’s youngest capital city and also its highest mountain range, as well as cultural masterpieces and unspoiled nature. Bratislava is located in the heart of Europe and is the capital of Slovakia. Surrounded by the City Hall and several palaces, it is like being taken back in time into a rich and glorious past. On the Danube’s Slovakian side, and to the east, is the town of Komárno. In the old urban market square a Miniature Europe with forty five buildings has, in recent years, come into existence. Towers, domes, arcades, half-timbered buildings and woodcarvings frame the square at whose centre is the Millennium Fountain. It is a unique mixture of architecture that signifies the common culture of European countries. Seven hundred metres above sea level, herds of sheep graze peacefully on the slopes of the Great Fatra, the location of the almost hidden and forgotten Vlkolĺnec, a unique village in the heart of Slovakia’s Liptov region. Today it is tantamount to being an open-air museum. Further north is Terchová, birthplace of Slovakia’s national hero, Juraj Jánošík. The legendary robber chief has an exhibition dedicated to him in which the living conditions and customs of that time are on display. The High Tatra is the smallest high mountain range in Europe. A magnificent mountain landscape with rocky mountains and many lakes. In 1947, the National Park of the same name was founded. Slovakia is a land of fortresses, castles and cities that date from the Middle Ages and, despite its many mountain regions, a southern-influenced way of life.

Bratislava is the sixth richest region of the European Union and GDP per capita is about 3 times higher than in other Slovak regions.
The history of the city has been strongly influenced by people of different nations and religions, namely by Austrians, Croats, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Jews, Serbs and Slovaks.The city was the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, a part of the larger Habsburg Monarchy territories, from 1536 to 1783 and has been home to many Slovak, Hungarian and German historical figures.
Bratislava is situated in south-western Slovakia, within the Bratislava Region. Its location on the borders with Austria and Hungary makes it the only national capital that borders between two countries.

The city has a total area of 367.58 square kilometres (141.9 sq mi), making it the second-largest city in Slovakia by area (after the township of Vysoké Tatry). Bratislava straddles the Danube River, which it had developed around and for centuries was the chief transportation route to other areas. The river passes through the city from the west to the south-east. The Middle Danube basin begins at Devín Gate in western Bratislava. Other rivers are the Morava River, which forms the north-western border of the city and enters the Danube at Devín, the Little Danube, and the Vydrica, which enters the Danube in the borough of Karlova Ves.
The Carpathian mountain range begins in city territory with the Little Carpathians (Malé Karpaty). The Záhorie and Danubian lowlands stretch into Bratislava.

Bratislava Presporacik Train Tour
The best way to explore a city for the first time is taking an organised hop-on hop-off tour just like the one offered by Vlacik Presporacik (Little Bratislava Train) taking 1 hour with a 20-minute stop at the castle. You can admire the main sights and buildings of the city while sitting comfortably in the train and listening to the valuable information provided by the voice guide (available in 24 languages). It also helped us to show many things in a relatively short time to our friends from Jordan (Nisreen, Maher, Dana and Habib).

Ružomberok - Slovakia
Ružomberok ist eine Stadt in der mittleren Slowakei
Ružomberok wurde 1233 zum ersten Mal schriftlich als terra Reuche und erhielt das Stadtrecht im Jahr 1318. Zu dieser Zeit kommen im Rahmen der deutschen Ostkolonisierung deutsche Siedler an, die die Stadtverwaltung übernahmen, im Laufe der Jahrhunderte haben sich jedoch slowakisiert. Von 1339 bis 1390 war das damalige Rosenberg eine Freie Königliche Stadt, dann war sie wieder den Gespanen der Gespanschaft Liptau und der Burg Likava zuständig, was die zukünftige Entwicklung recht ausbremste. 1405 erhielt sie das Marktrecht, aber litt in den Jahren 1431--34, als die Stadt mehrmals von den Hussiten geplündert wurde. Trotz heftiger Auseinandersetzungen mit der Burg Likava entwickelten sich Zünfte und Handel: so gab es Ende 17. Jahrhundert Zünfte der Schneider, Stiefler, Metzger und Schmiede, zudem einige Mühlen und Sägen. Die erste Schule wurde 1537 gegründet.
Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde die Stadt zu einem der Zentren der slowakischen Nationalbewegung und war im Königreich Ungarn gemäß der Anzahl der Slowaken eine der größten „slowakischen Städte. In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts kam es zu einem Aufschwung der Industrie, insbesondere nach der Fertigstellung der Kaschau-Oderberger Bahn im Jahr 1871. Aus großen Werken sind das beispielsweise Papier- und Holzstoffwerke sowie eine Ziegelei. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts kam dazu noch eine Textilfabrik.
1907 war der Ortsteil Černová Standort der Tragödie von Černová, bei deren 15 Menschen ums Leben kamen.
Nach dem Zerfall von Österreich-Ungarn im Jahr 1918 kam die Stadt zur neu entstandenen Tschechoslowakei. In den 1930er Jahren kam es auf Grund der Weltwirtschaftskrise oft zu Streiks und Unruhen in der Stadt. In der Zeit der Ersten Slowakischen Republik (1939--45) war Ružomberok Sitz einer der sechs Gespanschaften, der Tatraer Gespanschaft (slowakisch Tatranská župa). Vom Ausbruch des Slowakischen Nationalaufstandes bis zur Besetzung durch die Rote Armee am 15. April 1945 kam es in der Stadt und Umgebung zu schweren Gefechten. In der wiederhergestellten Tschechoslowakei verlor Ružomberok den jahrelangen Status einer Kreisstadt wurde Teil des Kreises Liptovský Mikuláš; das wurde erst 1996 nach erneuten Unabhängigkeit der Slowakei rückgängig gemacht.
Heute ist die Stadt mit ihrer Papier- und Zellulosenwerk noch immer von Industrie geprägt, dennoch entwickeln sich seit einigen Jahren auch Dienstleistungssektor und Fremdverkehr, wie im Skigebiet Malinné oder Bauerndorf Vlkolínec, seit 1993 UNESCO-Welterbe.
