Štós Hotel: Kúpele Štós, Culture and POLNER CUP

In Štós, Kúpele Štós offers a seven-day stay for speleotherapy. This combines therapy in underground cave spaces with climate therapy. In addition, the Vital Water World at Kúpele Štós includes water and steam baths, herbal, eucalyptus and Finnish saunas, a vital rain shower, a water parcours, a hydromassage pool and a tepidarium.

Culture

The history of the municipality includes two churches with different historical and artistic points of reference. The Roman Catholic church in Štós is probably the oldest building in the municipality and was built in the second half of the 13th century. Its high altar, featuring a painting of Saint John of Nepomuk, was created in 1727. Construction of the Protestant church, by contrast, began in 1786; it was consecrated on 28 September 1788. Its defining feature is an altar with an oil painting of Jesus Christ. Another cultural destination is the Zoltán Fábry Museum in Štós, which has a valuable library.

Nature

The grounds of Kúpele Štós preserve original architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries as well as from the interwar period, together with a protected historic park. The forest park of Kúpele Štós is designated as a national cultural monument of Slovakia. It encompasses more than 200 species of trees and flowers and is complemented by streams with cascades and a fountain.

Winter

The POLNER CUP venue, Polnerová lúka on the northern side of Tupý vrch, can be reached on foot from Štós in one to one and a half hours. This time estimate makes the length of the walk specific for day planning. The ski races for the title “Champion of Štós” take place at Polnerová lúka; since 1984, they have been called POLNER CUP. The event also features a culinary speciality: POLNER CUP participants prepare scrambled eggs in cauldrons over an open fire and add various types of homemade sausage.

Also important are the included services, the individual price components, and the booking and cancellation conditions. For transparent cost planning, also check which services are included in the total price. The offers displayed on the page can then be opened and compared with one another. Pay attention to the exact location, the type of accommodation and the intended occupancy. The stated total price also deserves a close look, because individual price components may be listed separately. When reviewing the services, it is worth comparing what is actually included. Also check the booking and cancellation conditions and any possible deadlines before booking. This keeps different offers comparable based on the same fields, without assuming additional properties of an accommodation. The specific values of the respective offer for Štós are decisive.
