Veľká Lomnica: Culture, Cycling and Golf

Veľká Lomnica brings together several clearly distinct travel ideas: cultural and historical insights, a designated cycling route, animal experiences and golf-related activities. Anyone planning a trip to Slovakia and choosing the town as a base can structure their stay according to their personal interests, without limiting themselves to just one type of holiday.

Golf and special experiences at Black Stork

At Black Stork, Veľká Lomnica has a 27-hole PGA golf course. A golf academy for beginners complements the facilities. The Black Stork golf resort also includes a 350-metre covered shooting range. This creates an unusually diverse focus for trip planning: you can make golf your main interest or combine the activities mentioned with cultural and nature-based excursions.

Church and Carriage Museum: Culture with Specific Details

The Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Virgin and Martyr, in Veľká Lomnica dates from the first half of the 13th century. Its interior is decorated with murals. The best-known mural dates from 1317 and depicts a scene from the legend of the Hungarian King Ladislaus I. The church therefore offers a precise historical point of interest for visitors interested in medieval religious art and the history of the region.

The Pavel Baláž Carriage Museum offers a different perspective on the past. It displays 30 historic carriages and sleighs. Visitors can also see Lipizzaners, whose origins date back as far as 500 years. The church and museum thus offer different focal points: the former centres on murals and medieval history, while the latter focuses on historic vehicles and horses.

Cycling Route and Orientation in the Area

The “Through Kežmarok to the Pieniny national park” cycling route runs from Poprad via Matejovce and Veľká Lomnica to the historic town of Kežmarok. It is 60 km long and designated as an MTB and road cycling route with an asphalt surface. Along the route, there are benches and information boards with educational content. Its length, surface and the locations mentioned help you place the route in your personal daily and trip planning.

Regional bus line 071834 is also relevant when planning your journey. It runs from Kežmarok via Huncovce to Veľká Lomnica. Current timetables should be checked separately as part of your travel planning; as a geographical connection, however, the line shows which places can be linked in your plans.

Wildlife and Family Interests

The Wild Park Resort presents a wide variety of animals from around the world in its educational programmes. These include felines, reptiles, primates, amphibians and various insect species. Wild Park offers attractions for children of all ages. Those travelling with children can include this focus alongside culture, cycling or golf when selecting activities.

When looking for accommodation in Veľká Lomnica, you can therefore first determine your preferred travel focus: medieval murals, historic carriages and Lipizzaners, the 60-kilometre cycling route, animal programmes or golf.
