Kysak<\/strong> has, right from its inception, held a prominent at a geographical crossroads<\/strong>, in the area where the river Horn\u00e1d<\/strong> changes the direction of its flow to the south. Its location also creates a natural link between the historical regions \u0160ari\u0161, Abov and Spi\u0161<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The village is situated in a mountainous region Montenegro<\/strong>, which in the west connects to The Slovak Ore Mountains<\/strong>. It is bordered on the eastern side by The Ko\u0161ice Basin<\/strong>, from the north The \u0160ari\u0161 Highlands<\/strong> and the mountain range to the north-west Branisko<\/strong>. Right at the heart of this rugged landscape lies Kysak \u2013 a place where, over the centuries, various cultural, dialectal and religious influences<\/strong>. Their interaction has shaped the distinctive character and unique features typical of this village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of the village Kysak<\/strong> can probably be dated to the period after 1289<\/strong>. In a document from that year, which records the division of property Petra from Drienov<\/strong> Among his five sons, the village is not yet mentioned directly. The eldest son Juraj<\/strong> However, among other things, he also acquired the territory that is now Kysak. Thanks to its favourable location on the River Horn\u00e1d, this place became a popular settlement the gentlemen from Drienov<\/strong>, who have made a home here manor house<\/strong>. They spent more time there than at Drienov Castle, which served primarily as a defensive stronghold and did not offer the same level of comfort as the stately homes of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, the Drienov family also built Kysack\u00fd Castle<\/strong>, the first written reference to which dates from 1423<\/strong>. However, following the extinction of the Drienov noble line, the castle gradually lost its importance. The new owners from Plosk\u00fd and \u017dehne<\/strong> They had their own residences, so they did not take proper care of the Kysak castle estate. The castle subsequently fell into disrepair and its walls gradually collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The confluence of the Horn\u00e1d and Svinka rivers<\/strong> It stands as a symbolic testament to the region\u2019s rich and often dramatic past. It is linked to the history of a powerful family The Abov family<\/strong>, along with other landowners, during the reign of Matej Korv\u00edn<\/strong>, including troop movements and operations sparklers<\/strong>. The history of the village was also shaped by religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants<\/strong>, the daily lives of rafters and local residents, and the pilgrimages of the faithful to sacred sites in Malej Vieske and Obi\u0161ovce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the construction of the railway, Kysak became an important railway junction<\/strong>, through which the history of an entire nation passed, both symbolically and literally. People travelled along the local railway lines monarchs, statesmen, presidents and ministers<\/strong> and troops from various armies moved along them. During the Second World War, convoys of persecuted people also passed through here Jews being sent to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp<\/strong>. The Kysace railway tracks thus bore witness to a period war and peace, dictatorship and freedom<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5521,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"kategoria-poi":[],"lokalita":[181],"sezona-poi":[],"trvanie-vyletu":[],"class_list":["post-2166","kam-ist-na-vylet","type-kam-ist-na-vylet","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","lokalita-kysak-a-okolie"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kam-ist-na-vylet\/2166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kam-ist-na-vylet"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kam-ist-na-vylet"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategoria-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-poi?post=2166"},{"taxonomy":"lokalita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lokalita?post=2166"},{"taxonomy":"sezona-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sezona-poi?post=2166"},{"taxonomy":"trvanie-vyletu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trvanie-vyletu?post=2166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
