About the event

The Cockatrice of Bojnice

Step into a world of legends and uncover the story of the Bojnice Cockatrice. This is no ordinary fairy tale. The cockatrice is a mythical creature that has appeared in legends for more than two thousand years. It became a medieval legend and has been waiting ever since in the depths of the cave beneath Bojnice Castle.

This adventure is far from a passive guided tour. From the very first minute, children are drawn into the story and become part of a lively dialogue with their guide—the Cockatrice itself. As the mythical creature sets out on a journey of redemption, it must overcome obstacles, face challenges, and resist temptation. Children experience every step of the adventure alongside the Cockatrice, and in the end, they are the ones who help it make a life-changing decision. Will the Bojnice Cockatrice remain loyal to evil, or will its greatest dream come true and will it finally find true friends?
