Wells of Krásno nad Kysucou

Discover the traditions of the natural local water sources around Krásno nad Kysucou. This tour will take you to six different wells in six different villages. Discover the history of the wells and why they are important, and learn when to drink water from a well. Each of the hamlets also has its own unique piece of history. At Drozdov, you can see Blažkov bridge, a very high, historic bridge made entirely of stone; at Lazný there is the stream of the Mary of Sorrows Chapel; Gavlasov has a 6 m high Slovak double cross of St Cyril and Methodius; and at Gaši there is a brick chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is recommended that you combine travel between the wells, because only four of them are immediately accessible by car. To visit the wells at Bohovičovcov and Gaši, you need to walk the last couple of kilometres because the roads are unpaved. This is a pleasant stroll. If you have any extra time, you should take in the natural history exhibition including a life-size replica of a female mammoth and Slovakia’s smallest art gallery – the František Hübel memorial room. During the winter the path is less accessible.
