Hugolín Gavlovič's nature trail

The project „Hugolín Gavlovič's nature trail" was developed in 2006. It is an educational project including a cycle-hiking lane and an instructive path for foot-passengers. It focuses on the development of tourism and hiking infrastructure. The project is based not only on attractive landscape of the border zone, which is rich in cultural sights, but also on the favourable location of a bio-spherical UNESCO reservation the protected landscape area of the White Carpathians, mountain environs, a large wood and meadow area and well-preserved nature diversity. The result of the project are persistent ties between the border micro-regions of South Walachia and Zdroje of the White Carpathians, in the form of cycle-hiking path connecting the historical micro-regional centres and thereby creating durable cross-border contacts.

The unifying element of the common project is the Manuscript of Hugolín Gavlovič called „Valaška škola mravov stodola" in colloquial language. It comes from the 18^th century and it is a mixture of Moravian and Slovakian dialects. Its character is educational, referring even to the present days.

There are several information boards giving details about the history of particular places, aims of the cycle-hiking lane, together with some texts focusing on didactic inheritance of Hugolín Gavlovič's work. Herewith, the intention to make a link between educational and history has come true. All that is bound to traditional values, honoured by the inhabitants of Middle Považie and south Walachia, and represented by the personage of Hugolín Gavlovič and his work „Valaška škola mravov stodola".
