Holiday apartment in Oslany – Buchlov Educational Trail and Culture

Oslany lies at the transition between the Hornonitra Basin and the mountain areas of Vtáčnik, Tribeč and Strážovská hornatina.

Nature and Landscape

More than half of Oslany’s cadastral area is covered by forests, comprising a total of 1,375 ha. At the edge of the municipality, the Nitra River runs from northeast to southwest. The Slaný stream flows through Oslany and joins the Nitra in the western part of the municipality. Part of the area forms part of the Ponitrie Protected Landscape Area.

Buchlov Educational Trail

The Buchlov Educational Trail is 5.3 km long, has an elevation difference of 400 m and takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. This time indication should be understood as an approximate guideline. The trail can be walked independently, follows a linear route and can be walked in both directions. It is intended for use in summer.

The Buchlov Educational Trail can be reached via SAD in Osľany, Bystričany or Horná Ves. It can be started in Osľany, Bystričany or Horná Ves and leads along the ridge through the Buchlov Nature Reserve to Žarnov. Thus, both the route along the ridge and the three possible starting points are part of the same trail.

Culture and History

The Church of Kostol sv. Štefana kráľa stands on Námestie slobody in Oslany. It was rebuilt again from 1756 to 1768 and features a Baroque-like style. In front of the church is the Immaculata Marian Column. It dates from the second half of the 18th century and is listed in the register of cultural monuments in Slovakia.

A 6 m-high and 4 m-wide Slovak double cross was erected on the summit of Žarnov in 2000.

The Original Village Centre

The original centre of Oslany was architecturally a linear village located along a stream. Over the course of its development, it became a small town with a market square. A brewery was built there in the 18th century. This sequence describes the transformation from a village alongside a stream into a settlement centred around a market square.
