Slovakia
Slovakia is landlocked and mountainous and it’s set in the heart of Europe where the Celts once lived in pre-Christian times. This was naturally long before the country was absorbed into the former Czechoslovakia. With a quiet and relaxed pace of life, Slovakia has wonderful architecture with medieval castles and cities. There's a delightful absence of commercialism and, for the time being at least, the country remains refreshingly quaint and congestion-free.

Welten
Set out on the north bank of the Danube river, half an hour’s drive south of Bratislava, the course at Golf Club Welten occupies land that was once the property of Count Rudolf Wiener Welten. The state took over in 1948, converting the manor house to retirement home and then a social care institution, but everything was returned to the original owner’s daughter in 1996.
