What you need to know before your pilgrimage on Slovakia:
- you need the reservation of accomodation (it´s the same like a tourist)
- the shops in the vilages are usually open during mornig (from 6,00 - 12,00)
- the pilgrim routes don´t have "a signs", you need a turistic map!!!
- for SOS you call: 112
ok, continue...
The south-west of Slovakia is an industrial center...no mountains, no wild nature:) but if you want, you can find and visit some "quiet" places, very nice churches, the basilics and also national Basilica minor of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary in Šaštín.
