Attractions
- Originally Romanesque, today Baroque Roman Catholic All Saints Church, built in the 13th century
- Kláštorisko (744 meters above sea level) is located in the heart of the karst area on the northeastern edge of the Glackej plain. The gorge can be reached from Letanovce via the shortest beautiful tourist trail from Letanovský Mlyn - Kláštorná roklina (gorge north of the Slovak Paradise). The strategic location and natural protection of the Pol'ana Devil Sihote and Hornád Canyon in the north, the Tomášovská Bela valley in the southeast and the Kisel Gorge have attracted visitors for centuries.
- Former Roma-Sinti settlement - since 2013, almost 800 Sinti have been relocated from the Letanovský Mlyn entrance about 4 kilometers north to new apartments with electricity, water connections, sewage and complete infrastructure. With the help of volunteers and government funding, conservationists have cleared away huge garbage dumps since 2016. Since then, this starting point in the Slovak Paradise National Park has become very popular, as you can immerse yourself in the beautiful, untouched nature within a few minutes from the train connection.
