Discover Stara Moravica

Stara Moravica offers several specific points of interest to help you plan your stay: the Krivaja, its location at the foot of the Telečka Hills, cultural and historical landmarks, and a leisure centre with swimming pools. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first decide which of these topics matter most to your trip. The town’s history can be put in context through several dates; an art exhibition, an opportunity to sample local drinks, and the swimming pools offer different points of focus. This way, you can begin your search with the interests you actually want to include in your stay.

Location between river and hills

The Krivaja River flows through Stara Moravica, which lies at the foot of the Telečka Hills. These are two distinct landscape features: a river running through the town and a location among the hills. If you would like to get to know the destination before booking, you can use both features to guide your choice. They describe Stara Moravica from different perspectives and can be considered a separate travel interest alongside the cultural themes.

Local history and landmarks

One historical point of reference is the resettlement of 1786, when Calvinist, or Reformed, families from Nagykunság in Hungary resettled in Stara Moravica. The Reformed Church in Stara Moravica was built in 1822. The two dates are 36 years apart, so the resettlement and the construction of the church are separate historical points of reference. Visitors with a particular interest in history can use them as a concrete introduction to the town’s past.

In 1896, local residents erected a monument in honour of Lajos Kossuth. The Lajos Kossuth statue in Stara Moravica is the seventh of the Kossuth statues erected worldwide. The date places the local tribute in its historical context, while its ranking links it to a worldwide series. For visitors interested in culture and history, this brings together a specific local tribute and the series of Kossuth statues.

Art, leisure and tastings

A permanent exhibition by the local 9+1 artists’ colony adds a distinct focus on art to the historical points of interest. Different cultural themes are thus presented side by side: the Reformed Church and the Kossuth monument as historical landmarks, and the local artists’ colony exhibition. If art matters more to your trip than dates and monuments, you can make the exhibition a different focus of your plans.

Another point of interest is the leisure centre in Stara Moravica, which has four illuminated swimming pools. If the facility plays a role in your travel plans, it is best to check the latest details about its configuration, as this may change over time.

Stara Moravica also offers the opportunity to sample local wines and rakija. This provides a culinary experience alongside the cultural and historical attractions and the leisure centre. Specific providers and arrangements may change, so confirm the details in advance if a tasting is important to your travel plans.
