Where to go
Trip tips from our stay guide, from the castle and the zoo to rocks and lookouts nearby. Trips with their own article come with a detailed guide covering the route, parking and what not to miss on site.
Hrádok Climbing Area
A 100-metre andesite rock face, and not just for climbers. You can choose routes of varying difficulty. If a view from below and a campfire cookout are enough for you, even children will manage it with ease.
Končitá
A natural monument made for a walk, and on some sections for bouldering too (some rocks are off limits). If you are looking for a really easy hike, Končitá is the right choice.

Vtáčnik (1,346 m)
The highest peak of the Vtáčnik range, from which you can see Bojnice Castle when visibility is good. It is a longer hike, though, so we recommend driving to the Gepňárova dolina valley.

Bojnice Castle
One of the most beautiful and interesting monuments in Slovakia. It is open to the public all year round and offers various tour routes as well as events.
Bojnice Zoo
The oldest and most visited zoo in Slovakia, right next to Bojnice Castle. You will find more than 360 animal species here, such as the elephant, lion, bear, wolf and various kinds of monkeys.
Bojnice Spa
It offers a wide range of treatments and services. You can also use the wellness area with a pool, sauna, hot tub and gym, or simply take a walk in the spa park.

Čajka v oblakoch Lookout
A 30-metre tower. Besides the view, you can enjoy a slide from the top. On site you will find a rope park, a 3D maze, a climbing wall, a platform jump, a children's amusement park, a restaurant and a snack bar.

Čajka Swimming Pool, Bojnice
A popular spot to cool off in summer. It offers thermal pools, water slides and attractions for children and adults, in a beautiful setting with a view of Bojnice Castle.

Known for its nutrias, which you can feed and watch in their natural habitat. These friendly rodents attract visitors of all ages.

Malé Bielice Thermal Baths
The local springs, with temperatures of up to 39 °C, have beneficial effects above all on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, on rehabilitation and on the body's regeneration.
Map
Babylon Summer House and Tomb
The summer house was commissioned in 1911 by Duchess Natalie of Oldenburg. A short walk away, hidden in the woods, stands a small neo-Gothic Lutheran church, the family tomb of the Friesenhof and Oldenburg families. The summer house has been fenced off since 2025, so you can only view it from outside.
Map
Malý Ľubín Lookout Tower
Easy to reach from the swimming pool in Chalmová. It is only 6 metres tall, but that is enough to admire the panorama of Vtáčnik, Tribeč and Pohronský Inovec.
Jančekova skala
A popular hiking destination with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. We recommend parking at the car park below the ski lift in Cigeľ, which is also where your hike begins.

Sivý Kameň Castle
It was built in the village of Podhradie in the first half of the 14th century as a royal castle. It has changed hands many times and has been through a fire. Today it is an important historical monument.
Red Chair
On the road to Lehota pod Vtáčnikom stands a giant red chair with seating. A local entrepreneur built it from recycled iron profiles. It is an attraction and a spot for a nice photo.
