Nová Lesná combines a park in the town center with historical buildings, named peaks and a route to Hrebienok. The Park of Mountain Guides features a small pond and wooden sculptures of the older generation of mountain guides. There is also an originally Early Gothic church, a Neoclassical church and the preserved barn Sypanec. This gives you a concrete way to explore the town’s history, architecture and landscape as you choose your destination.

Park and Mountain Scenery

The Park of Mountain Guides is located in the center of Nová Lesná. A small pond and wooden sculptures of the older generation of mountain guides are defining features of the park. Its name and sculptures highlight the theme of mountain guides, while the pond and woodwork add different accents. From the entrance to Nová Lesná, you can see peaks including Lomnický štít, Prostredný hrot and Slavkovský štít. The names of these peaks provide specific points of reference for the landscape, while the central park offers a different focus. If you are interested in both culture and mountain scenery, these are two distinct themes to consider when planning your trip.

Churches from Different Building Periods

The Roman Catholic Church of the Annunciation of the Lord was built in the second half of the 13th century and is originally Early Gothic. On October 30, 1963, it was entered in the Central Register of Immovable Cultural Monuments of Slovakia under number 918. The Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession represents a different style and a later construction period: the Neoclassical building dates from 1792. Early Gothic and Neoclassicism represent different architectural periods, and their construction dates are far apart. For visitors interested in culture, comparing the churches offers both different architectural styles and a timeline spanning from the second half of the 13th century to 1792.

Sypanec and the Route to Hrebienok

The preserved masonry barn Sypanec dates from 1873. As a different type of building, it complements the churches: it is an agricultural structure, not religious architecture. Those interested in local history through different building types can therefore explore the barn as a distinct focus alongside the churches.
