Culture

The synagogue in Liptovský Mikuláš was built between 1842 and 1846 as a single-storey neoclassical building and took on its present form after reconstruction in 1906. It has been open to the public since 1991 and houses an exhibition on the history of the local Jewish community. The Mosty-Gesharim concert is also held annually in the synagogue.

Since its foundation in 1955, the Múzeum Janka Kráľa has documented the history of Liptovský Mikuláš and made it accessible to the public.

The Liptovská galéria Petra Michala Bohúňa is the third-oldest gallery in Slovakia and manages more than 5,500 works. Its exhibition “Pôvod maľby” presents paintings, icons and sculptures from the 15th to the 19th century. The “Hviezdy galérie” project offers educational activities for children, schoolchildren and adults; the activities can be completed individually and without prior reservation.

Nature and physical activity

The Háj Flow singletrack runs through Lesopark Háj-Nicovô and is the first official singletrack in Liptovský Mikuláš. It is approximately 800 metres long and has an elevation difference of 100 metres. The trail is suitable for children as well as experienced trail riders. The ascent follows the official asphalt road Generála P. Kunu; the start is at the end of the meadow by the war memorial and is marked by a wooden gate and orientation signs.

The “Príroda a krajina okolo nás” educational trail is 1.3 kilometres long, has an elevation difference of 140 metres and features information boards and picnic areas along the route. Different route lengths and elevation differences make it easier to compare the two described trails.
