New attraction near Bratislava: Giant lookout bench

Six metres wide and more than three metres high. This is the new bench that has appeared near Pezinok in recent weeks, specifically over Mandľový Sad in the Škridláky area.

The oversized viewing bench opened to the public through a ribbon-cutting ceremony presided over by the mayor of Pezinok, Roman Mács, together with other representatives of the town management. It is the largest bench not only in Pezinok, but in all western Slovakia.

"Thanks to the new bench, the town of Pezinok is gaining a nicer look and appeal," said Mács after cutting the ribbon.

The surrounding vineyards are visited daily by many people.

"Seeing the entire town from here and the bench itself enhances this experience even more," the mayor added.

He added that in the future, the town wants to continue to make the wine-growing countryside more appealing with other attractions of a similar nature.

The town's intention was to make the vineyard landscape more attractive with a giant bench, which is currently in great demand not only in Pezinok.

"Many tourists are willing to travel long distances to see them, and that is why they are a worthy addition to tourism-oriented activities," said the person behind the idea of ​​building a giant bench above Pezinok, Zuzana Kiczegová, from the environment department of Pezinok Town Hall. The reason for choosing the Škridláky location was that it offers the best panoramic view of Pezinok.
