On 5 and 6 September 2019, the Trenčín Regional Tourism Organization (KOCR) organized a region press trip for bloggers with a travel focus on the Trenčín Region. The purpose of the trip was to record experiences that can resonate in visitors. Thanks to this, four Slovak bloggers spent an unforgettable two days full of activities, laughter and breathing history.

Although each of them focuses more on foreign countries and goes on long journeys around the world several times a year, they are united by one important thing - love of their homeland. Travel enthusiasts Anna Tásler Onderková, František Fefe Kekely, Milan Bardún and Pavol Urbánek visited the Trenčín region to experience adrenaline for two days, admire the views, enjoy the beauty and rich history of castles and establish that it is good everywhere in the world, but still the best at home.

The engaging program appealed to everyone

During the first day, bloggers had the opportunity to ride a motor plane over the upper Nitra thanks to the Aeroclub Prievidza , who willingly presented the process of aircraft production. From the heights of heaven, they moved to a place just a little lower - the lookout tower Chaika in the clouds . They had a view of the whole of Bojnice, Prievidza, Nováky and the surrounding area. The journeys continued to the pompous Bojnice Castle , where they learned the ancient history of this fairytale place. This was followed by a transfer to Trenčín and accommodation in the Elizabeth Hotel , the dominant feature of which is a Roman inscription on the Trenčín castle rock visible directly from the hotel.

The second day began with a tour of Trenčín Castle and continued with a visit to the Romanesque church in Haluzice . The routes followed to Čachtice, specifically to the Čachtice Cave, which is accessible only with a guide. Due to its uniqueness, some considered this point of the program to be one of the most interesting. The last place on the active press trip was Čachtice Castle and its story about Alžběta Báthoryová.

In addition to the cognitive character and promotion of the dominants of the Trenčín region, the press trip was also friendly and the whole two days were marked by a great mood, laughter and establishing new contacts between bloggers. They did not spare words of praise, which they also presented on social networks.

"We are very pleased that the press trip, which was aimed at young people with a passion for travel, also appealed to world-renowned bloggers. They sincerely enjoyed the two days in the Trenčín region and it was clear that our monuments are of great importance to them as well. We are glad that we can also reach their target group in this way, ie young people who enjoy getting to know countries and different cultures. We believe that their fans will also want to head to our region and get to know the sights first-hand, " added Eva Frývaldská, Executive Director of KOCR Trenčín Region.
