Sailboats, watermen and nobles at Strecno Castle

Endless Friday and Sunday columns of cars and risky road sections would probably come to mind of everyone in Slovakia when hearing the name “Strecno”. There is a risk of an unexpected rock slide or a road accident.

And although we do not travel via Vah river to work anymore, but we use the road, even after centuries, the origin of the well-known song lyrics is clear to us: “Near Strecno, the way is dangerous”.

But Strecno deserves to arouse positive emotions as well. Because many such are related to the castle – virtuous and merciful Zofia Bosniakova or fierce and courageous Frantisek Veseleni – they all created the history.

And what else? You will learn it from the fencing master Peter Koza in the final part of our summer series “Get to know the history of Slovakia in real and virtual way”.
