SlovakiaMapFebruary 16–17, 2015 Slovakia marks its wines with its national flag on the capsule (just like Austria). ![]() Fences are set up along the edges of fields in the winter so that snow doesn’t blow onto the highway. ![]() KošiceMapThe outskirts of the city aren’t promising in the least. ![]() It’s practically Norilsk. ![]() But then you realize you’re getting warmer. ![]() Then warm. ![]() Then really warm. ![]() And then hot. ![]() A street sign. ![]() Water valves for fire department use. ![]() An incredibly beautiful utility sign. ![]() Poster kiosks. ![]() A municipal trash can. ![]() The shop windows and interiors betray the country’s socialist past. ![]() One of the city’s notable attractions: the public bathroom, particularly the men’s part. The design of the group urination area is absolutely fantastic. You won’t find such beauty anywhere else within a thousand-kilometer radius. ![]() Banská BystricaMapA fairly pleasant city. ![]() Loudspeakers on the balcony of my hotel room. ![]() A street sign. Slovakia has a rather curious building numbering system. The plaque with the red border indicates the sequential number of the building on the street, while the plaque with the black border indicates the sequential number of the building in the history of the city. An integrated ranking of sorts. Few Slovaks or Czechs, however, would be able to explain what the number 5 here indicates. ![]() Excessive signs with parking options and rules. ![]() A parking meter. ![]() A trash can. ![]() The post office. ![]() A lamppost. ![]() The city’s main and little-known sight: a Soviet victory monument on the central square. ![]() A burger stall. ![]() The city itself is quite nice. ![]() It’s pleasant and completely off the radar. ![]() Just try telling anyone you’ve been to Banská Bystrica, and they’ll inevitably respond with “Huh?” ![]() |
