1828 Nineteen housesDevätnásť domov

In 1828 the village had 19 houses and 112 inhabitants. That is worth stopping on: the town that today has hundreds of hotel beds was, less than two hundred years ago, a couple of dozen roofs by a stream. Through the nineteenth century, while Piešťany, Sliač and Bardejov were being built up into famous spas, nothing at all was built here. The water was the same water; what was missing was a road, a railway and somebody with capital.V roku 1828 mala dedina 19 domov a 112 obyvateľov. Pri tom sa oplatí zastaviť: mesto, ktoré má dnes stovky hotelových lôžok, bolo pred necelými dvesto rokmi pár desiatkami striech pri potoku. Cez celé devätnáste storočie, keď sa z Piešťan, Sliača a Bardejova stávali slávne kúpele, sa tu nepostavilo vôbec nič. Voda bola tá istá; chýbala cesta, železnica a niekto s kapitálom.
