Looking for day-by-day itineraries in Trencin? And, if you want to walk back down and do it all over again, you can too. There are toilets on both ends of the trip.Īt the top the paths are well marked, so if you want to go explore the park and hill there are many options. The chairlift operates well and quickly, there seem to be no queues even at busy times (spring weekend)-there are regular ticket machines to buy the tickets and you can pay by card. And with those greasy hands you'd put the last change into a machine to convert it into a commemorative coin.Īs a cherry on top there was a small metal cart in the front with an old dry gentleman selling candy floss in 7 colours (I think I'd struggle to call these flavours). It serves an assortment of fast foods (that the rich kids would buy, and if you're friends with them maybe you could get a fry!), and-for those with normal (low) levels of pocket money-a selection of snacks from chocolate bars to crisps to leave your hands greasy. There is a cafe on each end of the chairlift. If you attended a school in Eastern Europe the whole experience of this place will make you nostalgic of school trips.
Just follow the crowds and as I already said, bring your camera! There’s often a street band playing in the corner as well. It is situated in the front the corner of Rybárska brána (Fishermen’s gate), at the junction of Panská and Laurinská streets. Amongst the cafés, restaurants, and shops of the Old Town, you will find the statue. The best way to find this spot is on foot. Legend has it that those who touch the head of the man will get a wish come true – if they manage to keep it a secret forever. Because of this, he was given his own road sign that reminds passers-by of the man at work.

There are careless drivers everywhere and Bratislava is no exception! The poor statue actually lost his head twice. Anyway, this sympathetic man seems to enjoy his surroundings. Maybe he’s resting after a hard day’s work cleaning the sewers or perhaps he’s a typical communist-era worker who works little and watches a lot or maybe he’s just trying to get a look under the ladies’ skirts. The artist was born in 1947 in Bratislava.Īs for Čumil, there are a couple of theories about his name. Čumil is the work of Slovak sculptor Viktor Hulík. This was at a time when the city was polishing its image after its Communist past. These statues appeared in 1997, a couple of years after Slovak independence. Other statues include Paparazzi, Schöner Náci, and Napoleon’s Soldier. Čumil is one of many statues in the Old Town of Bratislava. You cannot visit Bratislava without saying hi to Čumil! And make sure to take a photo – this is actually one of the most photographed objects in Bratislava. The bronze statue, with a grin on his face, peeks his head from underneath a manhole cover in the Old Town and he is popular among tourists and locals alike. It only takes a quick glance at the face of the man at work at the junction of Laurinská and Panská Streets to understand why he goes by the name “the watcher”. His name is Čumil, the Slovak word actually means “watcher”. This is surely a quirky statue in Bratislava, the Capital of the Slovak Republic.
