FIĽAKOVO CASTLE

As we wrote on the opening page, Fiľakovský Castle is the dominant feature of our city, and you are lucky that it is literally a stone’s throw from our restaurant. You have a wonderful view of it from our terrace, so you can see this historical monument already during a delicious lunch. Still, it’s worth a closer look. It is one of the most visited Slovak castles and it also includes a castle museum with an interesting period exhibition. If you are lucky and visit us during the summer months, be sure not to miss the Night of Museums or Castle Days. A visit to the castle is an excellent program for individuals, groups and families with children. This place definitely has a lot to offer.

NOVOLANDIA

Well, you really won’t believe us, but just a few kilometers from us you can bathe in sea water. The water from the geothermal well in the nearby village of Rapovce is reminiscent of sea water due to its high mineralization and chemical composition. It could be a remnant of sea waters from about 23-25 million years ago. Novolandia thermal swimming pool is popular with visitors from all over Slovakia precisely because of the healing effects of this water. Thanks to the high content of minerals and trace elements, it improves the vital function of internal organs, skin and muscles. Novolandia is open all year round and has outdoor and indoor pools. Experience the healing power of thermal water on your own skin and take a trip with the whole family or with friends. The journey from Fiľakov to Rapoviec takes approximately 14 minutes. http://www.aquaparknovolandia.sk/
