- The entrance fee is voluntary and goes to the local church/parish for maintenance. We recommend that you leave at least €1 or €2 in the money boxes. In some churches, you can take a map of the Gothic Route or an information brochure for a voluntary contribution, or buy souvenirs such as magnets and postcards.
- We thank the owners of the churches for opening them – all the willing parish priests, parishioners, and churchwardens. We also thank the enthusiastic mayors.
- On the information boards at the entrance to the churches you can find three QR codes with links to an article about the church, an audio guide, and a virtual tour of the exterior and interior. All information is available in Slovak, Hungarian, and English.
- You can visit the listed churches during opening hours. However, the contacts on our website still apply , not only to the administrators of these churches, but also to other churches in Gemer and Malohont, which you can visit after prior arrangement.
- If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
