Trenčianske Stankovce: Culture, Nature and Regional Traditions

The Vážska cyklomagistrála runs through Trenčianske Stankovce. This direct connection to cycling is complemented by historic buildings, traces of the past and events that showcase the town and its surroundings in a variety of ways.

Further historic traces can be found near Zadné kopanice in the cadastral area of Veľké Stankovce, where an unusual notched point made of radiolarite was discovered. A wooden cross in the cadastral area of Rozvadze, in the direction of Krivosúd–Bodovka, is considered evidence of historic battles. A park contains linden trees that, according to old chronicles from Sedličná, are said to have been planted more than 300 years ago. The park also contains the family crypt and a bust of the cartographer Ján Lipský.
