In the map museum they have a flight simulator, you can try to “fly” over Slovakia – Cities – Travel
A new attraction has been added to the Slovak Map Museum in Kynceľová near Banská Bystrica. It is a flight simulator, thanks to which visitors will be able to fly over and get to know the entire Banskobystricky region and Slovakia.
“Today, there is a noticeable trend of retreat from mass tourism. Participants focus on authentic experiences, but they are also more interested in the region itself, its sustainable development and the life of local people. I am therefore glad that we managed to implement another project that connects education with experiences in the tourism industry. that unconventional views from the sky will reveal various secrets not only to visitors, but also to locals,” said Jiří Pěč, executive director of the Regional Tourism Organization (OOCR) Central Slovakia, of which the map museum is a member.
The installed program offers visitors the opportunity to virtually pilot various types of aircraft, from small single-engine aircraft to fighter jets to large transport aircraft. It has options for different levels of piloting skills, so even people who know nothing about flying an airplane can experience using the “assistant”. On the other hand, experienced pilots know how to manually activate the same controls as in a real aircraft and practice procedures on foreign aircraft or with new aircraft.
The program very realistically shows the country over which you are flying. “The simulator contains all known ones, including the small ones in central Slovakia,” explains the director of the museum, Milan Paprčka. “So you can try taking off from Dobra Niva or Očová and take a sightseeing flight over the Deserted Castle, Banská Bystrica, Kremnica or Veľká Fatra and virtually explore central Slovakia from the sky,” he adds.
The Slovak Map Museum in Kynceľová presents both traditional and modern technologies used to create maps in the past or at present. It is the only museum in Slovakia with a sand model of the landscape with augmented reality. It was based on the principles of the world trend of enriching experiences for visitors through modern interactivity, high-tech achievements and principles of education.
The Banská Bystrica self-governing region supported this project with the sum of 2,000 euros through the contribution of the Development Agency BBSK in OOCR Central Slovakia.
