教皇ヨハネ・パウロ2世は、2000年のコロッセオでの十字架の道行きの黙想の中で、次のような考えを述べました。これは、おそらくここにあるこの道端の十字架（キリスト像）の前を通る人々にとっても関心のあることかもしれません。 »「キリストは、栄光に入るために、これらの苦しみを受ける必要があったのではないか。」（ルカ 24:26）。コロッセオでの伝統的な十字架の道行きの終わりに、私たちは同じ問いを投げかけます。（…）愛する姉妹、兄弟たちよ！今日の人々は、十字架につけられ復活されたイエスとの出会いを必要としています！不当に有罪判決を受けた者の苦しみを、神の裁きを受けた者でなければ、誰が完全に理解できるでしょうか？希望もなく、尊厳を奪われた多くの男女の期待に、嘲笑され、辱められた王でなければ、誰が応えることができるでしょうか？未来が見えず、人生に絶望している多くの人々の痛みと見捨てられた気持ちを、神の子である十字架につけられた方でなければ、誰が理解できるでしょうか？« （教皇ヨハネ・パウロ2世）

ガブチコボ貯水池（スロバキア語：Vodné dielo Gabčíkovo）は、ドナウ川にある巨大な水利プロジェクトであり、単なる湖以上のものです。ヨーロッパ史上最も長い訴訟の1つであり、技術的な大物です。

Images from a computer-generated 3D reconstruction of the presumed appearance of the Church and Monastery of St. Catherine during its final construction phase at the end of the 18th century. The monastery consisted of a church and monastic buildings with a ground plan based on two quadrangles, each with a square courtyard. The smaller courtyard, closer to the church, served as the Paradise Court, around which the monastery buildings were grouped. The larger courtyard was surrounded by outbuildings and the novitiate. The church tower, with its onion dome and stone statues of four Franciscan saints at its corners, dominated the townscape. These statues have been located at the Pálffy tomb in Smolenice since 1905. Access to the church was through profiled stone portals, similar to those at the main entrance of the monastery. The simple, mostly smooth facades were articulated by white bands that contrasted with the gray plaster. The roofs were covered with fired tiles.

On the way to the top of Záruby in the Little Carpathians, you will pass several signposts and crossroads. They are very well marked. The path from the Drina cave to the top of Záruby is quite difficult. We sweated a lot.

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Trnava is dedicated, is - alongside Saint Martin - one of the most popular saints of all. His memorial day, December 6th, is probably known to almost every child in Germany - and far beyond. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put out a small gift of food for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

Saint Helena, to whom the church here in Trnava is dedicated, was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the Milvian Bridge in front of Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and ended the long period of persecution with the Edict of Toleration of Milan). In the early fourth century, she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel/Palestine) and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the True Cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. She is therefore often depicted in paintings or as a statue with a cross as an attribute. According to Catholic tradition, Saint Helena's feast day in the calendar of saints is August 18, but in the Orthodox churches it is March 6 and May 21.

Dams the Danube to form a small sea. Impressive.
