Why I want to go to this place — 2 years ago
This is one place in Slovakia which I never visited. It was always on my list but every time I got closer to it I had to turn back for one reason or another. It’s located far north-east on the border with Poland. The place is know to all Slovaks or Czech as a place where one of the heaviest battles of Europe were fought. More than 46,000 Soviet, Czechoslovak and German soldiers perished. Over 93,000 solders wounded. A large military cemetery in near town of Svidnik contains the graves of over 9,000 Soviet soldiers. As the Germans retreated, they burned what remained of Svidnik.
One of the interesting aspect of this place is that there are planes, tanks, artillery and other military armor placed throughout the fields for several miles as a natural museum.
