About this stone

Did you know that the Turzov Lakes near Gelnica date back to the 18th century? Originally, they served as water reservoirs for mining equipment. In the early 20th century, a spa was established here, attracting visitors from across the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today, this peaceful spot combines a rich mining history with beautiful nature. Time for a little penguin exploration! Miško is always ready to waddle off the beaten path and discover places where history and nature meet.
