With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Zvolen, 17 miles away, has to offer. Ludovita Stura Park, Vigsassky Zamok and Borova Hora Arboretum alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Banska Bystrica is another great option. It’s 25 miles away and has a variety of fascinating things to see and do. Golf and Country Club Hron, Museum of the Slovak National Uprising and The Clock Tower are only the start.
