Scottish Highland Cattle

Another group can visit "Mohyla" (the monumental cemetery) of general Milan Rastislav Stefanik using their own transport. Milan Rastislav Stefanik was a Slovak politician, diplomat, and astronomer. During World War I, he was General of the French army, at the same time the Czechoslovak Minister of War, one of the leading members of the Czechoslovak National Council (i.e. resistance government), and he contributed decisively to the cause of Czechoslovak sovereignty. Above Brezova pod Bradlom, as its name suggests, is Bradlo hill where, under a gigantic travertine monument where Stefanik is burried. The Bradlo monument is the work of one of Slovakia's most important architects, Dusan Jurkovic.

Kraj slivkovych samot

The scale of the Bradlo monument reflects Stefanik's significance in modern Slovak history: he is perhaps the nearest thing the nation has to an unblemished twentieth century icon (see box). The view from the monument is fantastic, and it's a favourite place for locals to come for some quiet contemplation. Stefanik was born in Kosariska, a village beneath Bradlo, where a small museum dedicated to his memory was created at his birthplace. It displays mementoes from his extensive travels (among them a New Zealand Maori dictionary and native masks from South America) as well as photographs and his uniforms. The museum has information in English; a nearby restaurant, U Juhása, serves good food and English is spoken too.
