Historical and cultural camp in Slovakia
First day (2025.07.13.)
Today the students of the groups in Kaposvár and Szeged have arrived in Bratislava, the first site of their summer camp together. During the summer camp, which is mainly centered around history, students will get the chance to get to know and gain a deeper insight into the vivid history and culture of the region. On our first day we roamed through the historic city of Bratislava and its Old Town, which used to be the capital city of the Hungarian Kingdom from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Once we finished with our sightseeing tour, we went on to our accommodation, where the staff had already been waiting for us with a delicious dinner. We are really looking forward to the forthcoming days of this summer camp, so that we will be able to get to know the culture and the history of the region.

Second day (2025.07.14.)
We started off the week exploring Nitra. After admiring the panorama seen from the Old Town, we climbed the hill leading to Nitra Castle. At the main gate we learned about the monument dedicated to victims of the Black Death. We also heard the heroic story of St. Emmeram, whose name lives on in the seat of the Diocese of Nitra, St. Emmeram’s Cathedral. We explored the baroque church thoroughly and had time to roam in the city for a bit as well. In the afternoon we arrived in Nové Zámky, where we were shown the catholic church and the statue of Trinity at the town square. In the next hour we adventured around the city centre. We were welcomed with a lovely dinner in the evening and discussed our plans for tomorrow.
