Seasonal recommendations
Monument: Crossroads
In spring, the vicinity of the crossing in Horovce will awaken into life. The fresh colors of the first grass and flowering trees create a refreshing atmosphere that highlights the spiritual dimension of this monument. We recommend to visit a place in the morning when the light is fine and the air is clean.
The summer season brings full growth of vegetation and intense sunlight that produce sharp contrasts on the surface of the cross. The atmosphere is warm and peaceful, ideal for short stops during summer walks of the country.
Autumn wraps the cross in the colorful leaves and melancholy tone. Frequent morning fog adds mystery and silence to the place, which promotes a sense of humility and meditation. The perfect time to visit is the golden hour before sunset.
In winter the cross in Horovce is ascetic and majestic, especially if the landscape is covered with snow. The silence and cleanliness of winter nature create space for quiet settlement and introspection.
