The Jánošík´s journey - online town tour

Jánošík – an ordinary bandit or a hero? A controversial figure in Slovak history from the top ten of the opinion poll „The Greatest Slovak“ revealed to the last detail.

A sightseeing tour in the footsteps of the immortal bandit captain Juraj Jánošík, who was tried, tortured and finally executed in Liptovský Mikuláš! How did an ordinary bandit become a legend comparable to the famous Robin Hood? Who lured Jánošík to be a bandit, even though he knew very well that banditry was considered a serious crime? And why was only 25-year-old Jánošík pierced by a hook through his rib on the gallows in Liptovský Mikuláš, when he was robbing almost all over Slovakia? And what role did Countess von Schardon play in his story?
