What a great place, not sure whether to call the largest botanical garden in Slovakia a "hidden gem" but this is a little hidden away if you are not aware of its existence. Gardens are well presented and well looked after. There seems to be a number of projects taking place to open up the gardens more and introduce more informative aspects of horticulture to the visitor.
