The tourist season is currently climbing to the door on the spot is the question: what new will bring KOCR Trencin region to the summer of 2018?

A complete new feature that will make it easier for tourists to plan a trip in our region is Trip Planner, which we launched at www.trencinregion.sk. A trip planner will help those interested in knowing the region to plan a trip in the region according to their preferences. With an interactive map, everyone can choose which sites they want to visit. He then adds them to the Trip Planner, which will immediately create a tailor-made itinerary. The trip planner will show the exact route, with a detailed mileage and distance between places of interest. The traveler who plans to travel in the region knows exactly how much time he needs to move between different locations and how much time he has left to discover new places. The Trip Planner monitors the latest modern trends in on-line travel planning. Thanks to it, we can easily show travelers interesting places in the county and invite them to discover unknown sites.

KOCR Trenčín region traditionally thinks about families with children. What can they enjoy during this year's holiday?

On a free holiday day full of sunshine, we have again prepared a children's game called "Cross country in 100 days." It will take place in the form of mobile app OBYWUJME, which is conveniently downloaded to your phone and can also be used off-line. Under 100 days of competition, from June 1 to September 8, 2018, the contest will focus on selecting as many cities and events as possible in the region. Among them, for example, mysterious catholic underground, Kostolecká tiesňava, Spring Dúpna Cave or Praveku Museum. We chose the sites so that children not only get involved but also learn something new when they visit. In addition to interesting places, some of the 5 events must be visited in the competition: Šašo Becko children at the Beckov Castle, Musical at the Chateau in Bojnice, the Art in Park Festival in Tr. Tepliciach, History of the martyr at the Trenčiansky castle or the Ghosts at Čachtice Castle. The family, who visits most of the sites and events for 100 days, gets an enticing prize - a weekend stay with a half-board in the Agropenzión Adam in Podkylave. Other attractive prices are: a night full of experiences at the Tree House in Trenčianske Teplice and free entry to the medieval castles. Detailed competition rules and a list of places will find competitors on our website.

Holidays are also the ideal time for cycling - what did you prepare for the fans of this healthy lifestyle?

Our website contains a detailed overview of all marked cycling trails in the Trenčín Region, including GPS coordinates, authentic photos or a brief description. Passionate cyclists can use an interactive map, directly on the mobile in the terrain to see the direction of the cycle path or to decide what tourist attraction they visit in the vicinity of the cycle path. For cyclists, runners, pedestrians as well as families with children, the Vrchárska koruna Trenčianska project, which invites you to meet 20 hills and towns of the Trenčín Region, is also intended. On two wheels or running shoes you can discover majestic monuments such as MR Štefánik's Mound, Lednice Castle, Považský Castle, but also Dračie studně, Mojtínská jaskyňa or the place of pilgrimage Butkov. The competition lasts until the end of November, and every competitor will receive the reward for all the hills.
