Discover Revúcka Lehota: Holiday Apartment, Miková and Evangelical Church

Revúcka Lehota lies in the southeast of the Slovak Ore Mountains, on the left side of the Muránska Valley. Most of the cadastral territory is situated on a terrace upland that transitions in the north into narrow strips of hilly and lower mountain terrain. The surrounding forests consist predominantly of beech, with birch, oak and hornbeam also present. The local landscape therefore brings together upland, wooded areas and the features of the Muránska Valley.

Nature and Water

Miková Reservoir, used for recreation and fishing, lies within the cadastral territory of Revúcka Lehota. Its upper section near the inflow is designated as a CHRO; fishing is prohibited there year-round. The reservoir and its differing designations are therefore just as much a part of the local character as the terrace upland and forest landscape.

History and Culture

The Evangelical Church in Revúcka Lehota was completed and consecrated in 1793. It is the only cultural monument in Revúcka Lehota and has a Rococo altar with a pulpit dating from the second half of the 18th century. A monument in the village also commemorates the victims of the Second World War.

The settlement was established around the 14th century under Wallachian law. Historically, the inhabitants of Revúcka Lehota were engaged in livestock farming. The village is one of the places with a tradition of producing linen and cloth. Historically, charcoal burning was also one of the inhabitants’ occupations. The distillation of homemade fruit brandy was likewise one of the traditional activities in Revúcka Lehota. In the 19th century, there was a blast furnace in Podhorie.

Community and Events

Organizing a table tennis tournament has a long tradition; the 2023 edition was the 28th. On 13 May 2023, Revúcka Lehota commemorated the 78th anniversary of the end of the Second World War with a traditional bonfire at Dolinka.

On 1 July 2023, a traditional Children’s Day and Sports Day took place on the local football pitch. The programme included games and competitions for children, while adults could take part in volleyball, shooting at goal, long-distance rolling-pin throwing and tug-of-war.
