Veľká Lomnica offers travellers several distinct points of interest: medieval wall paintings, a collection of historic carriages and sledges, animal education programmes, as well as golf and cycling. When choosing where to stay, it helps to consider whether cultural history, a specific museum experience or a sporting activity is your main interest. You can then tailor your choice to whether you are most interested in historical details, animals or a clearly described route.
Cultural history: church and wall paintings
The Church of St Catherine of Alexandria, Virgin and Martyr, dates from the first half of the 13th century. Its interior is decorated with wall paintings. The best-known painting dates from 1317 and depicts a scene from the legend of the Hungarian King Ladislaus I. Thus, the date of the building and that of the featured painting are clearly distinct. For travellers interested in medieval art, the appeal lies in both the age of the church and a specific, named subject depicted in a painting.
Carriage museum and Lipizzan horses
The Pavel Baláž Carriage Museum displays 30 historic carriages and sledges. Visitors can also see Lipizzan horses, whose origins go back as far as 500 years. The two subjects complement one another without telling the same story: the collection focuses on historic vehicles, while the Lipizzan horses add the history of a horse breed. Anyone choosing between an artistic monument and a museum collection will find a distinctly different way to explore cultural history here than at the church.
Animals and activities for children
At Wild Park Resort, the focus is on educational programmes featuring a wide variety of animals from around the world. These include felines, reptiles, primates, amphibians and various insect species. Wild Park also has attractions for children of all ages. The local offering therefore ranges from cultural history to wildlife and attractions specifically for children, making its focus different from that of the museum or the church.
Golf in Veľká Lomnica
Black Stork in Veľká Lomnica has a 27-hole PGA golf course and offers a golf academy for beginners. The golf resort also includes a 350-metre covered driving range. Playing conditions on the course may vary by season.
