Tuesday, 6 October 2026 afternoon \u2013 <\/strong>Exploring Bansk\u00e1 \u0160tiavnica, a UNESCO World Heritage town.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, the groups went to Bansk\u00e1 \u0160tiavnica. It is the oldest mining town in Slovakia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a traditional Slovak lunch, they visited the interactive exhibition \u00abJourney Through Time\u00bb. The first part is about the time of Jakob Fugger and the mining discoveries of the 16th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second part, the students could experience history themselves with virtual reality (VR) headsets. There were also activities to try out: they guessed how heavy a gold bar was and tried to pull a gold bar out of a box to win a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abThe exhibition combined a traditional museum with modern technology like VR headsets and interactive activities,\u00bb one student says. \u00abThis made learning about history much more fun and exciting.\u00bb At the end, the groups walked around the main square of the beautiful old town, and some of them bought ice cream. In the evening, they took the bus back to Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica.<\/p>\n\n\n
