The remnants of the WWII are still present in Bratislava, and today one of the heaviest ones appeared to be in the air! 😁 This anti-tank wall built by Germans or in fact by the forced Jewish labour was built in Petržalka, that time 1944-45 being a part of Germany (Engerau). Its location is exactly in the brand new tram line which is being built, so there was a danger it would dissapear. Thanks to willingness of people a decission was accepted - let's move it 30 metres sideways: a Czechoslovak Tatra truck with a huge crain (700 tons) had to help!

Welcoming the Soviet Army mosaic (1957, 6x4 metres) is an intriguing work of socialist realism in Poprad, northern Slovakia. Reality could not be more different. 🤥

The nickel smelter in Sered processed low-quality Albanian ore with 99% waste in 1962-1992. It created one of the main environmental burdens in Slovakia. As part of an expedition to Soviet-era monuments, we explored the site. 😵‍💫

May Day - labor day, celebrated especialy in the countries with the socialist/communist regime, like Czechoslovakia until 1989. Have a look at the photos to imagine, how one of the biggest squares in Bratislava - SNP Square - looked like on this day before the revolution, or see the video how the square was preparing for this special event ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=5RiIl2xGO_8
Note: we can pick you up for one of our tours directly in the middle of this square and remind you these days.
May 1st is though also an anniversary date for Slovakia joining the EU and this year it is a nice round one - 20 years! Let's value all the positives it brought us and let's remember freedom and democracy is not guaranteed...
