Top Kosice Hiking Tours

This tour is built around a single, extraordinary story of Ľudovít Feld, a Košice-born artist who survived Auschwitz by working as Josef Mengele’s personal painter. Our journey begins at the cultural center dedicated to Feld, where his art and life provide an immediate, deeply personal, and profoundly unique connection to the Holocaust. From this powerful and singular starting point, the tour expands, but its thematic core of art and memory remains. We visit Bardejov, where the UNESCO-listed Jewish Suburbia serves as a testament to a community's history, and Prešov, with its celebrated Judaica collection. Finally, the cinematic connection in Sabinov—the setting for the Oscar-winning film The Shop on Main Street—provides a modern artistic lens through which to view historical events. This fusion of a single artist’s struggle with broader historical and cultural landmarks makes for a truly unparalleled experience.
