A Brief Tour of Lučenec

When you come into Lučenec from the east, the first thing you see is a ginormous silver double cross.

At the bus station, you'll find very nice, new facilities. The bathrooms are especially noteworthy. You don't have to pay to use them, and they have Dyson Airblade hand dryers.

In the historic center, there's this church

and this one,

and this knight who's half wood and half metal. The descriptions are in Slovak and Latin, so I should understand what it's all about between the two languages, but I don't. Something about defending the town in 1551.

Then you walk down the street to find the old synagogue.

Finally you go to the town park, which is rather big and really quite nice. 

Then you go home and cross another one off your list.
