Not far from our cottage (about 5 km) is a well-known tourist destination, the Slavic fortress Bojná - Valy. It was inhabited in the 8th - 9th centuries and fulfilled an important defensive, craft-commercial and missionary function. The most important finds include gilded plaques and a bell, which are evidence of the Christianization of our population even before the arrival of St. Cyril and Methodius.
