Bezovec Ski Resort

Today we will start in the central part of the Považský Inovec mountain range, where there is one small but even more picturesque ski resort Bezovec. it is located approximately 20 kilometers from the town of Piešťany. it offers snow lovers six slopes, which are suitable for both beginners and more advanced skiers. in addition to great skiing, it is also suitable for hiking, you can climb to the eponymous peak, from which there is a view of the area of Pováží, the ridge of the White Carpathians, Tribeč or Ponitří.

Haluzice

When the country is immersed in a white embrace, be sure to visit the small village of Haluzice, which is located near the district town of Nové mesto nad Váhom. the winter nature of the Bošácká valley, which is dominated by the Hajnice hill (341 m above sea level), is truly unreal. at the mentioned peak there is a lookout tower, which offers beautiful views of the nature of Považský Inovec. Also discover the Haluzice gorge with the mysterious remains of the walls of the Haluzice church.
