Malacky Jewish Cemetery

It is not known when the Jewish cemetery in Vysoká pri Morave was established. The date of the last burial in the cemetery is also unknown. For 70 years, the cemetery was largely abandoned. Undoubtedly, the main reason was that none of the Jews from the village who were deported to concentration camps survived. All the tombstones were lost during the socialist era.

Pilgrimage Basilica of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, Marianka

On the western side of the Little Carpathians lies the village of Marianka, which is one of the oldest pilgrimage sites in Slovakia. In the valley stood the Pavlín monastery, founded in 1377, where many pilgrimages took place after its establishment. However, even before its construction, numerous pilgrims brought here legends about the statue of the Virgin Mary and the miraculous spring.
