CONFERENCE VENUE The XIXth Slovak-Czech spectroscopic conference will be held in the special facility of the Office of the National Council of the Slovak Republic in Častá-Papiernička. The centre is located about 40 km northeast from Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.
The facility lies in a beautiful environment of the protected landscape region Little Carpathians. The only Slovak limestone cave originated as a result of cleavage - Driny Cave is also located in the nearby Smolenice Karst. The region is rich in history, tradition and culture, too. The stone Castle Červený Kameň, originally a king castle from the half of 13th century functioned as part of a fortified castle line on the west border of Austria. In the 16th century Pálffy family acquired the castle, rebuilt it and transformed it into a Renaissance-Baroque palace full of magnificent interiors. Nowadays you can see a permanent exhibition of historical furniture and weapons there. In the neighbourhood of Častá there are cities Modra (well-known ceramics Slovak Folk Majolica) and Pezinok, which are centres of the Malokarpatsky wine region, the most important wine region of the Slovakia.
