Seasonal recommendations
In spring, nature flourishes in the Leonhard Castle and the gardens are green. It is recommended to come in the morning. Since spring weather is unstable, we recommend a lightweight coat or waterproofing.
Summer season brings full flower vegetation. In the main season there is a higher influx of visitors, so it is advisable to come immediately at the opening to avoid crowds and strong glows. Clothe easily and remember drinking water.
Autumn in Nitra Blatnica is characterized by golden leaves and morning fog. They are suitable for photography in the afternoon when the sun shines low. Due to colder temperatures and humidity we recommend layered clothing and strong, waterproof shoes.
In the winter months in the area is quiet and snowy landscape contrasts with the facade of the manor house. Warm layered clothing and winter shoes are essential.
