Accommodation Partizánska republika Kalište

Some sights leave deep feelings in people after visiting them. One such place is Kalište – osada declared a national cultural monument, located near Banská Bystrica. The Partizánska republika Kalište (Partisan Republic of Kalište) was a long-term area controlled by partisans on the southern slopes of the Nízke Tatry.

Today, we would search in vain for traces of this settlement's development. Nestled among coniferous forests, the slightly huddled village speaks for itself about a cruel truth. Even upon visiting this settlement, you will understand what terrible things happened here. With your own eyes, you will see burnt and demolished houses, a cemetery, two small houses with a chapel, and a tree above the grave of fallen partisans. It is precisely in the 2 already reconstructed houses that an exhibition of the Múzeum SNP titled Partizánska republika is open to the public.

During the Second World War, the village of Kalište was the so-called center of the partisan republic. Local people supported it passionately because, thanks to the partisans, they saw hope for a better tomorrow. However, the Germans did not like this, and on 18 March 1945, they set fire to the village and murdered the locals. Almost no living soul remained here. Precisely so that this devastation from many years ago is not forgotten, the Partizánska republika Kalište serves as a detached exhibition of the Múzeum SNP in Banská Bystrica. Life in this municipality was never restored, making it the only one of its kind in Slovakia.

Every year, the memory of the fallen villagers is commemorated during the SNP anniversary celebrations in Banská Bystrica. If you head directly to the settlement, 17 informative boards, part of an educational trail located throughout the entire area, will guide you through the history of Kalište. You can reach the settlement directly from Donovaly on foot along the yellow tourist trail or via cycling routes leading through the surrounding villages. Alternatively, you can choose to drive through Moštenica. If you set off for the settlement early in the morning, we recommend booking accommodation near Partizánska republika Kalište.
