Do not imagine the Gron region as mere chimneys seen from the highway. History has left its trace in our region, with written records from at least the 11th century. In addition to the castles and sites of the Castle Route of the Hron Valley, there are other historically significant and interesting sites worth visiting. Remnants of the mining history, traditional culture, and the indelible and cruel footprint of World War II.
A reflection of the mining glory of the town of Nová Baňa and evidence of the forest workers' hard work in the Kľak valley was blemished by the sad events known as the Bloody Sunday. Traditional picturesque Stahl houses scattered around the hills, and the pottery tradition of the village of Brehy. You can have this all in the central Hron valley (the GRON region), on foot, bike tours, or water trips.
