Stará Ľubovňa hides a unique attraction - medieval military camp on the castle grounds presenting the life of military in the 16th century. The historic camp is an ideal place for summer camps, outdoor schools and excursions and all those who want to experience the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

Try historical sports, such as archery, crossbow shooting, throwing a Swiss-style axe, horseback riding or shoot from a cannon or the largest functional catapult in Slovakia.

Nielen zbrane a vojenské stroje sú lákadlom stredovekého vojenského tábora. V júli a auguste sa vám predstavia šermiari z celého Slovenska a staré tradičné remeslá, ako kováčstvo, hrnčiarstvo či košikárstvo vám zasa predvedú zruční remeselníci. Pre deti sú pripravené lanové a drevené preliezačky, hojdačky i stredoveký tenis.

Throughout the year, the camp organizes several entertaining events, such as mass medieval battles, period festivities, performances of swordsmen and music groups, burning of John's fires with belly dancers, burning of Morena, etc..

 

The medieval military camp offers accommodation in two- or six-bed period tents. As the captains of the medieval army, you will sleep on wooden chests furnished with cushions. We advise you to bring your own sleeping bags and blankets, too. Wooden chests also serve as a lockable storage space.

There are also women's and men's showers and toilets in the camp. For the more adventurous and those who do not want to overdo it with hygiene (much like in the Middle Ages), wooden tubs will do.

The medieval military camp in Stará Ľubovňa is a starting point for great hikes in the nearby forest park and other marked trails. In the winter season, some of these trails are used as cross-country trails.
