1. Greetingfrom SLOVAKIA

3. Welcome to the town RIMAVSKÁ SOBOTA RIMAVSKA SOBOTA is located in the mountains Slovenskérudohorie in the romantic valley of the river Rimava. It was first recorded in 1270 and the municipal rights were granted to the town on 5 May 1334 which is now celebrated as the TOWN DAY by their inhabitants. The name of the town originated from the regular markets taking place on Saturdays ( sobota in Slovak ) and the adjective Rimavská is derived from the river Rimava beside which the town was founded. The historical centre forms Hlavnénámestie – Main Square with a numberof linear streets running from there.
