Then they have gone to Banská Stiavnica.
Over the centuries, the town of Banská Štiavnica was visited by many outstanding engineers and scientists who contributed to its fame. The old medieval mining centre grew into a town with Renaissance palaces, 16th-century churches, elegant squares and castles. The urban centre blends into the surrounding landscape, which contains vital relics of the mining and metallurgical activities of the past. They have visited one of the mines.
Finally, before coming back, they have visited the castle of Sväty Anton. St. Anton manor house was built at the end of the 16th century on the site of a small castle due to the Turkish invasion. There is a legend about the manor house having a "year" symbolism in certain features: 4 wings symbolizing 4 seasons, 12 chimneys as 12 months, 52 rooms as 52 weeks, 7 arcades as 7 days in the week and 365 windows as 365 days in the year. Partial reconstruction during the 19th century altered the symbolism and only some details remain.
Inside the mine everything was dark and cold. We all were special clothes and helmets for security. Inside was very cold and there were small drops of water falling all the time. We were all together because there were a lot of different tunnels so it could be dangerous. It was great and very funny been in there.
