The last day of the weekend in Nový Hrozenkov, we went to a small trip (as usually) to a tourist cottage Kohútka on the Czech-Slovak border. MAP and website.

Weighlifting competition in Nový Hrozenkov

Nový Hrozenkov is a village of weightlifters. As we have learned, the people don’t do anything else than lift these heavy weights. At the first look they are much more robust than the normal population. Just have a look at the women how strong they are!

At every village even, there must be a grilled pig…

So how does this competition looks like?
