Holiday apartment in Malachov: Nature, Culture and Cycling Routes

Malachov begins with an unusual landscape feature: Between Malachov and the Ortúty settlement, the Malachovský potok has carved a 200 m long gorge with 15 m high rocky slopes into the andesite through deep erosion. The watercourse, rock and striking rock walls give this section of the landscape a clearly recognisable form.

Culture and History

The Evangelical a.-v. primary school in Malachov is an important monument of the municipality; Andrej Braxatoris Sládkovič founded it in 1858. Kováčovie dom, a museum of traditional living in Malachov, offers another way to explore the local past. The building was reconstructed and converted into a museum in 2012.

Living traditions also form part of the village's cultural identity. Malachov maintains a traditional Fašiangy celebration during which costumed young men from the municipality continue to sing from house to house. The amateur theatre in Malachov has existed since 1931; the theatre groups mentioned include Malá Chova from Malachov.

The historic postal road also highlights a connection between two towns: It linked Banská Bystrica and Kremnica.
