And the Surroundings – Liptovský Mikuláš and the surroundings – The town between the mountains Miloš Janoška, a teacher and an enthusiastic promoter of hiking and tourism, wrote about Liptovský Mikuláš in the first Slovak tour guide in 1932: “Liptovský Sv. Mikuláš is located in the center of the Liptov region. It lies in a wide picturesque valley surrounded by smaller hills, followed by high mountains of the Low Tatras in the south and Liptovské hole (the Western Tatras) in the north.“ The nature is rarely as generous as it was in case of Liptov with its high peaks and deep valleys, beautiful flora, diverse fauna, caves, bright streams and rivers or mineral springs. This is what makes Liptov one of the most sought after holiday destinations in Slovakia. Tourists can feel the energy of the mountains and explore hundreds of kilometers of marked hiking trails, feel the positive effects of thermal water in four water parks, ski to their heart’s content on more than seventy kilometers of slopes or learn something new in museums, galleries and monuments of folk architecture. Liptov offers so many opportunities that everyone can enjoy their time here.

This paper discusses the issue of the Cˇ ív landscape changes in the context of its use (historical land use). Between 1701 and 1709, new inhabitants began cultivating the desolated landscape of the Dorog Basin, which is surrounded by the Pilis Mountains. This paper aims to characterize the Slovak exclave Cˇ ív land use with an emphasis on the period from the beginning of the 18th century (Slovak colonization of the analyzed territory) to 2019. These findings subsequently lead to the evaluation of the stability of the cultural-historical landscape as an essential condition for the development of ecotourism in the cultural landscape.

  • History of Slovakia
    History of Slovakia Obchodná akadémia, Veľká okružná 32, 011 57 Žilina Prehistory Slovakia's territory had been inhabited in the Palaeolithic - Nové Mesto nad Váhom, Bojnice and Gánovce. The best known artifact is the Venus of Moravany from Moravany nad Váhom. Neolithic habitation was found in Želiezovce, Gemer, the Domica cave and at Nitriansky Hrádok. 2 History of Slovakia Prehistory Bronze Age was marked by the Čakany andVelatice cultures, followed by the Calenderberg culture and the Hallstatt culture.The major Celtic tribes living in Slovakia were Cotini and Boii. The great invasions of the 4–8th centuries saw the emergence of the Huns, followed by the expansion of the Ostrogoths, Lombards, Gepids, Heruli. Eurasian Avars followed, battling the Byzantine Empire, to be replaced by the Slavs. 3 History of Slovakia The Slavs Parts of the Slavic population that settled in the Middle Danube area were unified by King Samo,after a successful Slavic insurrection against the Avar Khaganate in 623. In 631, Samo defeated the Frankish army of King Dagobert at the Battle of Wogastisburg. Samo's Empire, the first known political formation of Slavs, disappeared after the death of its founder in 665 and its territory was again included into Avar Khaganate. Around 828, Archbishop Adalram of Salzburg consecrated a church for Prince Pribina in Nitrava. In 833, Mojmír I, Duke of the Moravians, expelled Pribina. 4 History of Slovakia The era of Great Moravia Great Moravia arose around 830 when Mojmír I unified the Slavic tribes settled north of the Danube and extended the Moravian supremacy over them.

  • Slovak Nation As a Corporate Body: the Process of the Conceptual Transformation of A
    Chapter 9 Slovak Nation as a Corporate Body: The Process of the Conceptual Transformation of a ‘Nation without History’ into a Constitutional Subject during the Revolutions of 1848/49 Tatsuya Nakazawa Introduction The concepts of the ‘Crown’ and of the ‘ethnic nation’ during the years of 1848/49 in East-Central Europe were both in harmony with and in contradiction to each other. The concept of ‘Crown’ meant not only the traditional ‘royal power’, but also a metaphasised representation of the ‘state’ as the embodiment of power. The concept of ‘ethnic nation’ was based on modern ‘principles of the natural right to national existence’. The Slovaks in particular, a typical example of a ‘nation without history’1 1 The concept of a ‘nation without history’ was defined in the articles of Friedrich Engels: ‘Das magyarische Kampf’ of 13 January 1849 and ‘Der demokratische Panslawismus’ of 15 February 1849, in the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. According to Engels, whether the will of the peoples constituting a nation was progressive or not, the ‘nation without history’ was one that did not have the capacity to fit into the historical evolution and progress of human society or to contribute to those matters. That is to say, his concept of a ‘nation without history’ meant a non-historical nation ‘in the future’. Its historical existence in the past was less essential (Karl Marx Friedrich Engels Werke 1961: 165–76, 270–86). This concept - 155 - TATSUYA NAKAZAWA in East-Central Europe, had few reasons for identification with the traditional concept of the ‘Crown’ because they lacked their own nobility, ruling class or state-tradition.

  • Slovak‑Americans and the Slovak Question During the First Czechoslovak Republic
    STUDIA HISTORICA GEDANENSIA TOM V (2014) Michael Cude (History Department, Fort Lewis College, USA) The Imagined Exiles: Slovak‑Americans and the Slovak Question during the First Czechoslovak Republic During the late 19th and early 20th century, over a half million Slovaks migrated to the United States.1 Although economics served as the primary motivation for the Slovaks moving to America, the politics of national identity also influenced this migration. Many Slovak‑American leaders, such as Štefan Furdek and Peter Rovnianek, used the opportunity to develop Slovak national identity, culture, and politics free from the grip of Magyarization in pre‑First World War Hungary. They organized from America a campaign to assert Slovak national rights within Hungary, hoping to pressure Hungary from the outside to open up to cultural and political autonomy for Slovakia. When the Czechoslovak revolutionary movement was organized after the outbreak of the First World War, its leaders, including Thomas Masaryk and Milan Štefánik, attempted to utilize these existing Slovak‑American organizations for financial, military, and diplomatic support. While the Slovak‑Americans served as a vital part of the Czechoslovak revolution, their political organizations demanded recognition of an independent Slovak identity and Slovak political autonomy in exchange for their support. This campaign pushed many Slovak‑Americans to absorb a sense of direct influence on the affairs of their homeland. The Slovak‑American’s ability to guide 1 Historians estimate the Slovak population in the United States in the early 20th century at around 650 thousand, between a quarter and a third of the population of Slovakia at the time, although their precise numbers are difficult to establish due to the United States government’s method of categorizing immigrants.
