Kavečany

800 m long summer toboggan track with 9 extreme twists and 3 tunnels.

One of the largest zoos in Europe by its area. In the area there is also DinoPark with life sized prehistoric dinosaur models.

A ruined castle on a forested hill. There's a viewing tower providing amazing views of the city to the south and to the valleys to the north. An association arranges medieval events on the site regularly, including a reconstruction of a medieval military camp each summer. There are several wooden statues and a small playground for kids.

3-km-long railway line in the forest. Three locomotives, Katka-named vapor locomotive, Danka and Janka diesel locomotives operating from the end of the suburbs to the recreational area of Alpinka.

A popular park area and easily approachable weekend hangout for many locals. Tennis, playgrounds for children, summer swimming pool, pubs and lovely evening walks by the river. Take bus 71/72/29 north from the city center to 'Mier' stop and ask for directions.

Small winter sports station in the middle of the forest. Alpine ski rental. Public transport access is a little less easy than for the Kavečany station because of the sporadic schedule of bus number 14.
