Honest work, but also well-deserved rest, should be the motto of everyone's daily life.Everyone needs a break. Something that recharges the batteries, gives energy and brings new ideas. The most popular relaxing part of Bratislava is filled not only on free days with many people who want to stop time, escape from their duties and let themselves be pampered by nature. Join us and spend a few unforgettable moments in an environment that breathes many stories.
The walking route to Lake Železná studnička is bordered by the Vydrický stream, which once powered the wheels of grain mills. It is thanks to them that this area is named Mlynská dolina and many historians consider it the oldest industrial zone in Bratislava. Although it has changed over the years and transformed into a recreational zone, its origins are work. And since we at Alain Delon appreciate honest Slovak work, we would be happy to take you on a walk to learn about history with us.
According to written records, there were nine mills on Vydrica in the 13th-14th centuries. Most of them were destroyed by floods at the beginning of the 19th century. Those that survived the flood served their original purpose for a few more decades. Later, they became guesthouses, restaurants, apartments, but also offices. The once-famous Seventh Mill is currently the headquarters of the Slovak Monuments Authority, for example, and you probably wouldn't notice anything about it that would speak of its glorious past.
Enjoy moments of harmony and reward yourself for your honest work. Go to places where once the golden Slovak hands ruled. Today, they are ruled by a stream that has witnessed many moments. Bring them to life, let them live not only in its memories...
