Seasonal recommendations
In spring, the park of Taber mansion in Kočovce will be covered in green. Spring sun creates suitable lighting conditions for photography exteriors and architecture details. As the weather changes frequently, layered clothing and waterproof footwear suitable for wet soil are recommended. Good time to visit is morning.
Summer will cover the Rakovský mansion in the thick leaves of the trees that provide shade. Due to the strong noon sun and sharp contrast, evenings are the most appropriate for walks when the temperature drops. If you prefer silence, come early in the morning.
In the autumn, the area of the manor house in Kočovce turns into yellow, orange and brown shades. The low autumn sun illuminates the treetops and creates long shadows. We recommend warm wind, scarf and waterproof shoes during frigid days, as grassy areas tend to be moist. Good time to visit is afternoon.
In winter, the light is dimmed and quick to darken. For a walk in frosty weather, equip yourself with insulated clothing, cap, gloves and footwear with non-slip soles in case of icy paths. The best time for a trip is around noon when temperatures reach the daily maximum.
