September 23, 2019 - Pictures of the day

Today we travelled south from Zvolen on secondary roads to Banska Stiavnica. This town has a history of mining, in the 20th century it shifted to textiles, shoes and tobacco. We visited both the old and the new castles and ended the day by travelling further south to Dudince, known for it's mineral springs and healing water.
