It was the most golden autumn, the leafs of the trees had an amazing shade of yellow. Even the chestnut trees, which usually are rusty had a golden hue in them. The car was sliding on the the narrow road between hills covered with thick forests, so thick that to the children they looked as if covered with velvet blankets.The road curved along a large and rapid mountain river, with greenish-blue waters. The trees most closest to the river were the ones that had the most wonderful shades of yellow, and their low branches were gently touching the water.

When asking what i can visit fast and around Bratislava everybody recommended me Trnava. Trnava is one of the biggest and known cities in Slovakia. It lies on the river with the same name and was the first town in modern Slovakia to be granted civic privileges by the king. However what most attracted me to visit was the fact that Trnava has also the nickname or Slovak Rome or Small Rome. It got this name because of the many churches and old buildings which give the city a very medieval and rustic appearance. Since i very much love visiting and making pictures to beautiful churches, and especially old churches, we decided to make a one day trip. We arrived very fast with the train from Bratislava early in the morning. Tomy own pleasant surprise the train station in Trnava is very nicely reconstructed and very modern. It is full of shops with souvenirs and newspapers and modern stairs.   The Trnava railway station The Trnava railway station From the train st
