Tips for visitors
St John the Baptist church in Sedmerovec
Best Time to Visit The church is best to visit in the morning or before the evening, when there is less noise. At sunrise in the morning, light for photography is the best.

In addition, during these hours the temperature is more pleasant, which is advantageous in the summer months.
The best option for transport is by car.
Transport by public transport can be complicated because Sedmerovec belongs to smaller municipalities. It is recommended to find the current connection of buses from the nearest larger city, for example Trenčín.
What to take with you For visiting the church and its area it is appropriate to take comfortable shoes to walk on uneven terrain, because the cemetery and surroundings of the church can be unbalanced.

The best light for photography is in the morning or before the evening, when the sun dawns from one side and creates contrasts on the church facade. When photographing in the middle of the day, it is advisable to use interlining to reduce bright light.

For children
You know, you're lying on a green meadow near the Sedmers, and over you, mountains are falling apart like huge walls. At that time, when only the forest and wild nature stood there, people began to build something very remarkable - the church of St. John the Baptist. It was built over a thousand years ago when people were still afraid of darkness and did not know what to expect in the future. But they had strong hearts and wanted to build a place where they would pray and join together.
