Pliesovce: Hotels between the Springs Trail and Culture

Pliesovce can be discovered through its landscape, education, architectural history, archaeology and events. Alongside geographical landmarks, these include a springs educational trail, an unusual church building, a traditional homestead and specific cultural programmes.

Nature

The municipal area of Pliešovce comprises the cadastral areas of Pliešovce and Zaježová. Pliešovce lies in the southern part of the Pliešovská kotlina basin. At the eastern edge of Pliešovce, the ridge of the extinct Javorie volcano forms the boundary of the municipal area. At 1,023.4 metres, Priečno is the highest point in the cadastral area of Pliešovce. A more specific connection to the landscape is offered by the Náučný studničkový chodník educational trail in Zaježová: it connects seven of ten restored springs. Thus, the range of landscapes extends from the basin location and the municipal boundary point to a named trail with restored springs.

Education

The connection with education is explicitly linked to a dedicated offering in Zaježová. The Zaježová Education Centre offers experience-based stays for schools. Zaježová is also home to the Sekier Eco-Community, a traditional homestead. The Sekier Eco-Community is inspired by the ecovillage movement, natural building and permaculture. Thus, in this part of Pliesovce, an educational stay offering and the stated guiding principles of the Eco-Community exist side by side.

Culture

The Protestant church in Pliešovce was built and consecrated in 1927. Its unusual elliptical floor plan is a striking architectural feature. An archaeological find is also associated with a specific year: in 1909, a Bronze Age axe and a fragment of a bronze rosette brooch were found in Rimáň. Architecture and archaeology are presented here with different time references, with both the church building and the two artefacts clearly identified.

Events include St. Hubertus Day 2025 in Pliešovce. Its programme included falconry demonstrations and a wild-game goulash cooking competition. In 2025, St. Hubertus Day in Pliešovce marked its 20-year tradition. The Podjavorské folklórne slávnosti is an event in Pliešovce; as part of this event, there was a sightseeing ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Alongside the church building and archaeological finds, contemporary event formats featuring falconry, wild-game goulash and a horse-drawn carriage therefore also stand out.
