Do you fear overtourism? In western Slovakia there is a region that people overlook.
Welcome back Slovak Roots fans!
It is time for another edition of our Slovak Roots newsletter, dedicated to the community of people with ties to Slovakia.
In this newest instalment, you’ll learn that there were two Roman empires and that a Slovak immigrant to Canada was behind one; you’ll discover a region that often goes overlooked in favour of bigger mountains; and you’ll meet Leah Raschid, who is taking leaps of faith by first moving to the UK and now considering a move to Slovakia.
With their eyes fixed on the High Tatras or the Liptov region, many people just speed through the borderland district of Nové Mesto nad Váhom in western Slovakia. However, those that take a detour here seldom regret it, opines our colleague Jozef Ryník.
