Where to go on a trip Veporské vrchy

If you enjoy putting on your hiking boots, set out to discover the beauties of nature in Muránska planina. In the village of Tisovec, which is a well-known birthplace of Slovak painters, politicians, and artists, you will have the opportunity to spend a day in this national park. This is also possible thanks to the Náučný chodník zbojníka Jakuba Surovca educational trail in Čertova tiesňava.

The educational trail begins in the village of Tisovec. From the local sheep farm (salaš), where you can treat yourself to a tasty bite to eat, set off directly towards adventure. Crossing this trail is at your own risk. The trail is one-way, has a length of 4.7 km, and an elevation gain of 268 m. The hike will take approximately 3 hours of your time. The difficulty of the loop trail is medium, so it is good to have very good footwear. During the winter months, in spring, and also during heavy rains, the terrain is dangerous and visiting is not recommended. However, as a group of 4 or more people, you can arrange a guide who will enrich your walk along the route with an engaging commentary.

Just as the highwayman Juraj Jánošík is well known in Slovakia, the highwayman Jakub Surovec is known in the Malohont region. He was the leader of a group of highwaymen who robbed wealthy people not only in Slovakia but also in parts of Poland. That is also why the trail leading through the untouched nature of Čertova dolina, through which he escaped from the gendarmes long ago, is named after him. The most beautiful spots on this trail are attractive gorges, which you can conquer here using wooden ladders.

After starting your journey from the sheep farm, heading upstream along the creek, you will enjoy bird song in the canyon-like valley, the soothing sounds of falling water from the waterfall, and the rustle of the forest, dominated by fir, spruce, beech, and valuable broadleaf trees on limestone bedrock with karst relief. At the beginning, you will be surprised by a legend about a local monk, which you can read on the 1st of the 7 panels. The route continues to the cave in Remeta. Do not miss Rizňa either, a wooden chute used for sending timber down. You can also stop by a miraculous spring, but we do not recommend drinking water from it. There are 2 information panels placed in Makové koryto. One concerns hunting and the other forestry. Following Masarykova cesta, continue to Čertov viadukt, where an information panel with information about the rack railway line Pohronská Polhora – Tisovec awaits you. You can refresh yourself and enjoy a moment of rest at Vyvieračka, a modified spring. Continuing into Čertova dolina, where Zbojnícky vodopád, the narrow pass Surovcov stisk, Malý vodopád, dams, the narrow pass Posledná barikáda, and a cave are located, you will enjoy beautiful views of the surroundings. At Pacherka, a panel will introduce you to information about sheep farming and highwaymen. At Galička, a true Carpathian sheep farm with a shepherd (bača), farmhands (vlasi), and sheep is located.

This longer hike will give you a workout, but it is well worth completing. Perhaps you will still have enough strength to step into a carriage of the steam rack railway Parná zubačka Tisovec. In the winter season, it is great to enjoy the slopes of the ski resort Tisovec - Rejkovo and Tisovec - Bánovo. From another perspective, the lookout tower Rozhľadňa Zbojská offers views of the world. Are you warm and feel like cooling off not only from the inside? Then visit the pools of the swimming pool Klenovec. Rest assured that you will not be bored in this region.

For a longer stay, we recommend booking accommodation near Náučný chodník zbojníka Jakuba Surovca. The cheapest solution during the summer is to set up a tent. This option does not suit everyone, so it is good to choose from the range of cottages and chalets in Tisovec or treat yourself to comfort in a room at Hotel Tisovec.

You have surely heard about Čierny Balog. It is a popular tourist resort, mainly due to its forestry past. After all, who hasn't heard of Čiernohronská železnica, which begins right in Čierny Balog? It is an extraordinarily rare technical work, but by no means is it the only point of interest you should pay attention to. In fact, you can experience an unforgettable winter ski holiday here.

You will find Čierny Balog just 9 km from the town of Brezno, which is one of the most important in the entire Horehronie region. For easier orientation, Brezno lies a few dozen kilometers east of Banská Bystrica. Čierny Balog is located in the beautiful environment of deep forests and stunning mountains. Hidden within all that splendor, you will find a real treasure, the Ski Čierny Balog ski resort.

It is one of the larger resorts. Its slopes lie at an altitude of 559 to 809 meters above sea level. There is plenty of snow here under almost any circumstances. Mother Nature is further aided by a modern artificial snowmaking system.

It is a family ski resort, which, however, is not entirely suitable for complete beginners. They should look for resorts with blue slopes. Čierny Balog offers only red trails, so these are medium-difficulty slopes. Skier with less experience can manage them, but intermediate skiers will enjoy them to the fullest.

In total, there are up to 5 downhill slopes in the ski resort. The vast majority of them are over 1 km long. Thanks to their length, they will satisfy even the most demanding skiers. The longest of them measures 1,300 meters, which is definitely not a small amount. In addition, you will experience a royal view of the valley below you. At the very top of the lifts, you can refresh yourself at a snack bar. All slopes combined have a total length of almost 5 km, which is a more than decent figure.

In the Čierny Balog ski resort, you will find 3 ski lifts. You can do much more on the slope than just ski. Those who love adrenaline will surely want to try paragliding. It is an unforgettable experience, after all, who wouldn't want to feel like a bird at least for a few moments?

The entire resort is ready for your visit, and in Čierny Balog, they will do everything to make you feel good.

The village is full of all kinds of private accommodations, guesthouses, and cottages. However, to enjoy such a portion of quality skiing and points of interest that the immediate surroundings of Čierny Balog offer, it is necessary to spend more than just one day here. That is why we offer you the most advantageous accommodation near the Čierny Balog ski resort. You are guaranteed to choose and find the right accommodation not only for yourself, but also for your acquaintances.

The forest open-air museum, which is managed by Lesy Slovenskej republiky, š. p. (Forests of the Slovak Republic, state enterprise), is located in Vydrovská dolina, approximately 1 km from Čierny Balog, right in the heart of Slovakia in the Veporské vrchy. Its creation is a response to many questions from the public regarding our greatest natural wealth. It represents forestry across our entire country. Covering an area of up to 140 ha, the museum area is part of the surrounding forests, which live their everyday life, including routine forestry work.

The origin of Skanzen Vydrovo dates back to 2002, when the foundation stone was solemnly laid. Since then, the open-air museum has come a long way, culminating in a perfect demonstration of life in symbiosis with nature. The Trail of Forest Time is more than 4 km long, along which you will find approximately 80 stops with interesting exhibits. At individual stations, you will discover the life-giving capacities of the forest. The space is subtly enhanced by natural artwork created by an international group of artists called Ekoart.

This living nature museum is connected to the village by the Nature Trail of the Village of Čierny Balog, which you can use for your return journey. However, a very popular mode of transport is also a ride on the Čierny Hron Railway, which transports visitors directly to the Vydrovo – Skanzen stop from either Hronec or Čierny Balog.

As part of the open-air museum, you will visit several exhibitions. The Old Forester's Room is a reconstruction of a workspace, presenting a forester's office from the first half of the 20th century. Forests and Lifeis a slightly "provocative" exhibition that highlights the issue of the relationship between humans and nature. It points very directly to the destructive impact of today's consumer lifestyle, which is very harsh on the forest and can lead to its collapse. Forest in the Mirror of Science shows visitors the importance of the forest to humans, in the past and present, focusing on the current condition of decaying spruce forests. It tries to find the potential causes of this decline while offering solutions for the health condition of our forests. The final exhibition bears the symbolic title A Tree is the Earth's Prayer to the Heavens… and consists of wooden sculptures from private collections located in the Forest Chapel.

Children will also find plenty to enjoy here, whether it is an educational trail with a viewing platform or an enclosure with live animals. Behind the wild boar enclosure is a sensory path, which is a very popular attraction. It consists of grass, sand, wood chips, stone, and water, with a clear recommendation: walk barefoot! The nerves in our limbs are interconnected, and the sensations we receive into our bodies precisely through walking barefoot over different types of surfaces provide a sense of balance. This further has a beneficial effect on all parts of our body.

The official website of the open-air museum offers a downloadable overview map of the grounds, where various tour routes are marked according to difficulty and duration. However, the development of the open-air museum is still not finished; it constantly wants to bring something new to its visitors. It aims to captivate not only with its beautiful exhibition, but also through the Tree Days event held annually. As part of the accompanying program, you will plant a tree together, compete, and the open-air museum will introduce crafts closely linked to forestry through demonstrations.

It is a good idea to think ahead about which route you will take through the open-air museum, as a detailed tour of the entire grounds takes almost a whole day. It is definitely worth it, as it is the forest and its atmosphere that will recharge you with the best possible energy, which is so necessary for each of us. We recommend booking accommodation on our accommodation Čierny Balog or accommodation Brezno pages and coming to relax in pure nature, full of authentic sounds, scents, and experiences. Let the forest tell you its own story.

In the Heart of Slovakia, in the Horehronské podolie basin lined by the wall of the Nízke Tatry mountains in the north and the ridges of the Slovenské Rudohorie in the south, lies the Brezno district. One of the most interesting places in this region from a cultural and historical perspective is undoubtedly the rectangular Námestie generála M. R. Štefánika square in the center of the district town. It is precisely here that the historical buildings of the Horehronské múzeum v Brezne museum are located. One of the oldest museums in Slovakia boasts an impressive collection of over 30,000 objects. Through its interesting exhibitions, it introduces visitors to the history and culture of the population of upper Pohronie.

The museum has three facilities. It has its headquarters in the beautiful historic town hall on the Brezno square. The building itself, with its lunette and sail vaults, exudes times past. It was built in 1770 through the reconstruction of an older Renaissance building. The museum's second facility is the town house No. 13, standing on two separate plots of ground-floor 16th-century houses. The third and final building of the museum is a peasant-craftsman homestead on Rázusova street. In its premises, the unique blueprinting technique of master Ján Roštár and a horse-driven wooden mangle from the early 19th century have been preserved. In simple terms, it can be called the largest iron in Slovakia. It consists of a wooden tub filled with stones, under which cylinders with linen were placed. It will surely convince visitors that ironing today is a walk in the park.

The exhibition section of the museum consists of three separate collections. The first of them, titled Život a kultúra ľudu na Horehroní (Life and Culture of the People in Horehronie), is situated in the town hall. It introduces visitors to traditional culture, which has almost disappeared from the real life of the Horehronie people. It includes period objects representing folk clothing, sheep farming, agriculture, forestry, woodworking, textile production, leather processing, and folk architecture. The gem of this exhibition is undoubtedly a representative display of the ironworks in Hronec titled Krása liatiny a smaltu (The Beauty of Cast Iron and Enamel).

The second exhibition part of the museum, Brezno in the Changes of Time, is prepared for visitors in a renovated town house. Through the historical collection, it presents the history of the town of Brezno from its origin to the end of the First World War. Here you will learn about important personalities of Brezno whose work contributed to the progress and development of social, political, and cultural life in the town.

The last exhibition of the Horehronské múzeum is Literary Brezno, located in the renovated premises of the old granary at the Evangelical rectory. Here you can get acquainted with the history of literary life in the town, the life and work of Martin Rázus, and with important literary figures from the mid-17th century.

If, during your travels around Slovakia, you also visit the heart of our beautiful country, make sure not to miss the opportunity to get to know its cultural and historical heritage. And when you visit Brezno, go for a walk underground in the nearby village of Bystrá. Located here is the Bystrianska jaskyňa, typical for its narrow and high corridors and the huge, 56-meter-deep abyss Peklo. Another major attraction of Horehronie is the Čiernohronská železnica railway, which in the past served to haul timber. Visitors enjoy combining a trip in open carriages with a tour of the Lesnícky skanzen Vydrovo open-air forestry museum. If you have been thinking about a holiday in Horehronie for a long time, it is time to turn your ideas into reality.

On Slovakia we have many well-known and extremely visited caves. Have you already been in Dobšinská ľadová jaskyňa, Harmaneckej jaskyni či Domici and are you looking for some less known one? We have a good tip for you. It is Bystrianska jaskyňa.

It is located in the Nízke Tatry, just like its sisters, the well-known Demänovské jaskyne – Demänovská ľadová jaskyňa and Demänovská jaskyňa slobody. You will find it a piece from Brezno, right before Mýto pod Ďumbierom. It lies in the namesake village of Bystrá. Why visit it?

The character of the cave is somewhat different than the others. In them you will find large spacious domes and halls, but Bystrianska jaskyňa differs from them. In it you will find primarily narrow and high corridors, in which you will feel like a true caver. The cave is mainly from limestone and dolomite, which easily forms and similar karst forms arise in it. In the cave there is also the Peklo abyss, deep up to 56 meters.

Company will be made for you during your visit by up to 8 species of various bats.

The entry parts of this cave were known by locals already very long ago. Into their interiors they however didn't dare for a long time, for the first time it was in the year 1923. The cave consists of two parts, Stará and Nová jaskyňa. Into that Nová one was descended through the aforementioned Peklo abyss. To opening for the broad public the cave lived to see in the years 1939-1940.

Today opened route of the cave has a length of 545 meters. It is suitable also for immobile visitors, since you will find here only 20 stairs, which with the help of others is not a problem to overcome. A curiosity of the cave is that the entrance and exit are in two different places. Other caves are sometimes longer, however along one place you go twice. Here you pass through almost all parts of the cave only once and you see more of it. Prepare yourself however for a low temperature and therefore dress yourself better. The whole route is almost without elevation change and you will enjoy it in every age. Do not forget, that on Monday is the cave closed for the public and select yourself for the visit on another day.

The surroundings are full of opportunities for spending free time. You can go to the massive Ďumbier, visit the nearby jaskyňu Mŕtvych netopierov or play golf.

Čertovica lies directly on the ridge of the Nízke Tatry. You do not have to worry about having to wander down a deserted road somewhere in the forest.

It is situated in a forest environment, while its higher parts are characterized by dwarf pine. You will feel as if you are in truly big mountains.

The ski slopes are located right by the main road, just a short walk from your parked car. The ski resort extends at an altitude of 900 to 1,145 meters above sea level on the northern slopes of Čertova svadba. Northern orientation, relatively high altitude, and on top of that, the climatic conditions of the Nízke Tatry. Only one thing follows from this: plenty of snow.

The Čertovica ski resort is one of the larger resorts. It should be said that beginner skiers should look elsewhere instead. You will find only a single blue, least demanding slope here. The other slopes are intended for intermediate and advanced skiers who will truly enjoy themselves here. They will find approximately 12 km of slopes, 5 ski lifts, and a variety of hills.

One of the most popular mountain ranges for skiers in Slovakia is undoubtedly Nízke Tatry. And where is there the most snow if not directly on the ridge of the mountain range? Here, for example, you can take a look at the Čertovica pass, which spreads at an altitude of up to 1,238 meters above sea level.

Where is the Čertovica pass located? It forms a natural connection between Liptov and Horehronie. A well-known road passes through it, connecting Liptovský Hrádok with Brezno. An excellent location right on the ridge of one of our highest mountain ranges predestines Čertovica to be one of the snow-richest resorts.

There are many slopes at Čertovica, but we will focus on the Ski resort Čertovica STIV. The ski resort is intended for less demanding skiers who are primarily looking for peace and affordable skiing. Despite the fact that the total length of the slopes is only approximately 1 km, all groups of skiers will come into their own here. The resort is served by a pair of ski lifts. The shorter one serves complete beginners; this slope is marked in blue. It is intended for beginners or children.

The longer lift offers wide opportunities for sports activities for a variety of skiers. The central slope is marked in red, so intermediate skiers will come into their own on it. Čertovica is equally suitable for lovers of off-piste skiing. A freeride zone runs parallel to the central slope here.

Thanks to the fact that the Ski stredisko Čertovica STIV ski resort is located at a high altitude ranging between 1,238 – 1,381 meters above sea level, it cannot complain about a lack of snow. And if there happens to be a bit less snow, count on a well-thought-out artificial snowmaking system at Čertovica that will take care of the snow cover throughout the winter.

Čertovica STIV is also inclined towards day-trippers or those who want to hit the slope for just a few hours. A ski school, regularly groomed slopes, and refreshment options at a snack bar are a matter of course at the resort.

If you decide to visit, you can enjoy Čertovica in ways other than just on skis. The attractive environment of Nízke Tatry mainly attracts hikers. Right along the ridge of the mountain range, you can head east towards Kráľova hoľa or west towards Ďumbier, for example. Nízke Tatry are also known for the occurrence of beautiful caves; true adventurers can visit Jaskyňa Mŕtvych netopierov, for instance.

This important mountain resort is prepared for an influx of tourists throughout the entire year. Therefore, it provides them with plenty of accommodation capacities, such as guesthouses, apartments, private rooms, or chalets in one of the villages below the Čertovica pass. Perfect skiing does not have to cost an entire paycheck. An example is the Ski stredisko Čertovica STIV, which is located in an attractive setting and offers skiing at a reasonable price.

You don't have to be a professional skier right away to come and move your body on skis in the beautiful environment of the Slovenské rudohorie mountains, where the Látky – Prašivá ski resort is located.

An interesting feature of this resort is the possibility of evening skiing, made possible thanks to slope lighting. A cross-country skiing trail also runs through the resort. If you prefer keeping an eye on your children off the slope, but start playing with the idea of learning to ski yourself, you can easily make use of the local ski and snowboard rental shop. Afterwards, simply sign up for a ski course at the ski school and, under the supervision of professional instructors, indulge in these snowy delights. If skiing catches your fancy so much that you want to do it for the rest of your stay, you can head over to the sports equipment shop.

Guides will tell you a lot of interesting information about mining and metallurgy during a visit to the Hutnícke múzeum. Many seek out the adventure hidden in Prdimuchova upírska izba.

Time is a quantity that cannot be controlled. It can only be planned out so that you manage to see what you plan within it.

North of Podbrezová, at the foot of the southern side of the Nízke Tatry mountains, lies the recreation resort Krpáčovo. In the beautiful environment of Tatra nature, we invite you to play an interesting sport called Disc Golf. We will gladly explain its basic rules to you.

Disc Golf originated in the 1970s in California. It was invented by the American Ed Headrick. Disc Golf is a sort of combination of frisbee and golf. Compared to golf, it has the advantage that, apart from discs, you do not need any other equipment. The goal of the game is to get the disc into baskets placed around the playing course using the fewest possible throws. The Disc Golf course in Krpáčovo is world-class. It was designed very sensitively to blend into the wonderful nature that you can enjoy to the fullest throughout the entire game. Upon arrival at the course, after paying the entrance fee, you will receive three discs and a scorecard to record the results of your game. The blue disc is metal and is used for throwing long distances. The yellow-green disc is plastic and is intended for medium distances. The pink one is also plastic and is used for short distances and completing the hole.

A total of 12 DG baskets are installed on the course. These are baskets that resemble basketball hoops, but unlike them, they have attached steel chains used to catch the playing discs. They are placed at a distance of 60 to 150 meters. You will find their location marked on the map on the scorecard as well as on the information board at the entrance to the course. The diverse terrain found in the flight path of the discs contains challenging, yet all the more interesting and fun obstacles that players must overcome. Throwing is not always direct. Sometimes it is necessary to throw the disc over, under, or around obstacles, such as forest vegetation or the water surface of a lake.

The total length of the playing course is 1,033 meters. You can play the game alone and relax surrounded by nature, or enjoy it with family or friends. It brings joy and relaxation that you can indulge in during any season without high costs. You can play just for fun; however, it might captivate you so much that you will even participate in some DG competition, which are held all over the world.

In the winter season, you can combine a game of Disc Golf with skiing in the ski resort Krpáčovo or the nearby ski resort Tále. In the summer, you can cool off with a visit to the Krpáčovo water reservoir or try a game of traditional golf on the magnificent golf course Gray Bear Tále. Your little ones will certainly welcome playing around on the rope course Tarzania Tále or the story of the Slovak vampire, which will be told to you in Prdimuchova upírska izba in nearby Horná Lehota.

After a pleasantly spent day, you might gladly lay your head to rest in accommodation near the Disc Golf course in Krpáčovo. You can enjoy romantic moments, and not only as a couple, in cottages in Krpáčovo. Or would you rather prefer accommodation in apartments in Krpáčovo? We leave this decision up to you. We will be happy to help you if needed.

The Vodná nádrž Krpáčovo reservoir is part of the recreational area of the same name. It lies in the foothills of Nízke Tatry, on the southern side of Chopok. It extends into the cadastral territory of the villages of Dolná Lehota and Horná Lehota, about 8 km north of Podbrezová.

The reservoir serves summer recreation; you can swim and practice water sports here, but fishing is popular as well. Vacationers appreciate the grassy banks of the reservoir with a gentle entrance into the water, which is ideal for families with children. On the shores of the lake, visitors will find several dining options as well as a rental shop for water sports equipment.

Near the reservoir stands a sculpture of a mother and child. A peculiarity of Krpáčovo is a sinking stream that disappears into the ground in the forest about 5 minutes from the lake. In addition to easy walks around the reservoir, which can also be combined with mushroom picking, hikers can indulge in more advanced hiking. Worth mentioning, for example, is the peak Skalka (1,980 meters above sea level) or the 9-meter-high Vajskovský vodopád waterfall at the end of Vajskovská dolina, which is among the most beautiful valleys in Nízke Tatry. An ascent to Chopok, Dereše, or Ďumbier can also be planned. Cycling routes lead, for instance, to Bystrianska jaskyňa and to the village of Tále.

For those planning a visit in winter, marked cross-country trails are prepared in the vicinity, as well as the Lyžiarske stredisko Krpáčovo ski resort in close proximity to the lake, not to mention a wide range of ski resorts in the surrounding area: for example, Srdiečko and Kosodrevina on Chopok, Tále, Mýto pod Ďumbierom, and many others.

This area certainly deserves your attention for more than a single day; therefore, you will need proper accommodation to see everything worth seeing and have a place to relax after your trips. In the immediate vicinity of the lake, there are numerous chalets and cottages; you will find them in Krpáčovo, Horná Lehota, and Dolná Lehota. If you prefer the comfort of a guesthouse, try your luck in the village of Tále or Mýto pod Ďumbierom.

The Predajnianske vodopády are located in the cadastral area of the village of Predajná in the Brezniansky okres. The cascading waterfalls of the Čelno stream boast not one but two streams, with a 5 m drop forming on one of them, while the other is only half that height. Since 1991, they have been a nature monument, and the 11.7 ha area falls under the administration of the Poľana state nature conservation. Protection applies not only to the waterfalls but also to rock seas and well-preserved plant and animal communities, which are important from an educational, scientific, and ecological perspective.

Above the waterfalls, tourists will also find one technical monument. The Kelemenov tunel on the forest road is a Slovak rarity. It was established back in 1928 when the narrow forest road in the Predajnianske Čelno valley was being adapted for timber transport by horse-drawn carriages. At one point, it was impossible to cut the road into the steep slope, and thus a 280 cm wide tunnel was pierced. It was named after its author, Ing. Vojtech Kelemen, the then director of Štátne lesy Banská Bystrica. In 1971, the tunnel underwent reconstruction and was enlarged to a height of 435 cm, a width of 440 cm, and a length of 41.5 m, thereby adapting it for car traffic.

Children can also easily manage the undemanding trip to the Predajnianske vodopády. The walk is also worth undertaking in winter when unique icefalls form. Marked trails lead to the waterfalls both from Predajná (approximately 11 km) and from the village of Lopej (approximately 9 km). Cyclists can also look forward to reaching the waterfalls along a marked cycling route named "Popod Hrb až na Štopm".

Accommodation near Prednianskych vodopádov is oriented rather toward cottages and chalets; you can look for them, for example, in Osrblie or Horná Lehota. If you are looking for apartments, enter the village of Valaská into our filters. If you stay in chalets in Bystrá, you will be close to the Bystrianska jaskyňa as well.

Skiing for everyone. What does such a broad concept include? Above all, it means skiing at a good price, somewhere where you do not stand in lines for lifts and can choose from several slope difficulties. All of this is also offered to you by the smaller ski resort Krpáčovo on the southern side of the Nízke Tatry mountains.

Where can you find it? As we have already signaled, it is located on the southern side of the Nízke Tatry mountains. It is a popular recreational area, and the trip will take you a short while. You can get here from the direction of Brezno, continuing to Podbrezová, where you will turn towards the village of Dolná Lehota. From there follows a several-kilometer-long asphalt road in the heart of pristine nature all the way to the recreational resort Krpáčovo. You will find many accommodation options here, but above all the main thing, a picturesque ski resort in the middle of deep forests, almost at the edge of the world. Making the trip all the way here is definitely worth it; you will find fairy-tale charm here. Snow-covered trees, postcard-worthy winter, and smiling people. You could not ask for anything more.

The resort is known for its family atmosphere. Despite the fact that you will find only 3 lifts and a total of 1.4 km of slopes here, it will not feel like too little to you. In a beautiful environment, you will enjoy every single centimeter of the trail. These are intended primarily for intermediate skiers, to whom the larger part of the resort is dedicated. Even complete beginners will find their spot here, for whom an easy, blue-marked section of the slope with its own lift is designated.

The longest slope of the resort reaches 650 meters, which is a fairly sufficient figure even for more demanding skiers. The resort is located at an altitude of 768 to 866 meters above sea level. It is not exactly the highest, but thanks to the artificial snowmaking system, you can comfortably ski here from December through March.

Here you will find a ski nursery for the little ones or a snack bar with pleasant refreshments. In short, everything you need and in great quality. The family atmosphere will only reinforce the impression of perfect skiing in Krpáčovo.

The surroundings are also favorable for day-trippers. Tourists visit Chopok, Ďumbier, or Jaskyňa Mŕtvych netopierov. There is truly plenty to see. In summer, you can play golf in nearby Tále and experience its beauty firsthand.

Krpáčovo is a popular recreational area. You will find a hotel, cozy cottages with a pleasant atmosphere here, or you can choose accommodation in one of the nearby villages. In them, you will find modern guesthouses, a whole range of private accommodations, and apartments just waiting for your visit.

Are you a skier? And you haven't been to Jasná yet? You simply must change that this winter. The most modern ski resort in Slovakia offers everything. Modern and wide ski slopes, super-fast cable cars, but also mysterious nooks of the resort that remind one of the good old days of the skiing era. One such nook is the Srdiečko area on the southern slopes of Chopok.

You won't find many resorts that resemble the ski courses of your youth with their atmosphere. You might be surprised, but you will find exactly such places in Jasná. If you get tired of tens of kilometers of perfectly groomed slopes on the northern side, where unfortunately there is almost always a large number of people, head to the south. You will be taken to the top of Chopok by a modern funitel. Steep black slopes await you here. Once you manage this section, you will reach Srdiečko.

There is a well-known mountain hotel here, where you will certainly make many new friends. A friendly atmosphere and a wonderful panorama of the mountains are the best things you could wish for during a ski stay. You will have majestic Chopok right in the palm of your hand and a chairlift right under your windows. You can get to Kosodrevina by this lift, from where a modern high-capacity cable car leads all the way to the top of Chopok.

The slopes at Srdiečko are also inclined towards less experienced skiers, although absolute beginners should look somewhere else. The slope leading along the chairlift also has challenging sections. The part west of Srdiečko is somewhat gentler. You will find classic ski lifts here, where there is almost always a minimum of people. This red-marked slope belongs to the longest descents in Slovakia. You should definitely try it; it is an unmistakable experience directly from the top of Chopok.

One of the less known nooks of the southern side of Chopok close to Srdiečko is Dereše. An older ski lift leads to a height of approximately 2000 meters above sea level. Dereše are interesting not only for their natural beauty but also for a beautiful slope with open terrain where you don't have to worry about queues of people. You will feel like in a movie with professional skiers. If you visit Jasná, don't just ski on the northern side. The southern side has a completely different atmosphere, and many will like it more than the more commercial northern side.

Srdiečko is very easily accessible; a classic road even leads here. You can get here from the direction of Tále. In addition to traffic accessibility, one unique attraction is located nearby, the Jaskyňa Mŕtvych netopierov (Cave of Dead Bats). You won't find groomed trails or artificial lighting here. As an adventurer, a caver, you will set off into the dark depths and discover all the underground beauties by the light of a carbide lamp.

You can stay directly at the Horský hotel Srdiečko (Srdiečko Mountain Hotel), from which a chairlift leads and several slopes end here. Alternatively, there are several villages with private accommodation and guest houses available to you. Tále, Bystrá, or Mýto pod Ďumbierom are popular destinations among tourists offering affordable accommodation.

We invite you into the company of majestic steeds, where you will forget the worries of everyday life and enjoy views of the world from horseback. Come relax at Ranč Haferník, which is situated in the heart of the unique nature of the Slovenské rudohorie mountains.

You can find the picturesque village of Detvianska Huta in the Podpoľanie region, near the town of Hriňová. In addition to admiring traditional log houses, you can go horseback riding at the local ranch. This agritourism facility is located on the edge of the village, near the Čechánky locality. You can reach it comfortably by car, which you can park in the free parking lot.

Ranč Haferník offers horseback riding services for beginners as well as experienced riders. Those sitting on a horse for the very first time are attended to by a professional instructor from the beginning. Advanced riders can saddle up their four-legged friend and unwind in its saddle while wandering through the Podpoľanie countryside. However, when organizing these trail rides, it is necessary to form a group of at least 5 riders.

The youngest visitors have not been forgotten either. In the summer season, children's camps are organized for them. The rich offer also includes weekend stays in the saddle or the opportunity to visit this facility during a school trip. Children from kindergartens and primary schools gladly take part in it. If you do not directly long for equine company, you will be pleased by the opportunity to pet other farm animals here, such as sheep, goats, or cats.

Recharged for new days and with photos on your mobile phone, you do not have to rush back home. You can support the local ranch and treat yourself to a little refreshment in the form of a drink at a small family-run snack bar. Not only city children will be thrilled by the opportunity to roast food over an open fire in a fire pit. Has the offer to step away from modern civilization for a moment and enjoy everything this place has to offer caught your attention? If so, book accommodation near Ranč Haferník.

Since the ranch operates during the winter months as well, fathers and sports enthusiasts appreciate the proximity of Ski centrum Košútka. The groomed slopes offer excellent conditions for both skiing and snowboarding. An interesting family walk can be taken to Vodopád Bystré. Those who enjoy heights and beautiful views can head over to the lookout tower Rozhľadňa na Jasenine. Its observation deck offers a breathtaking view of the Juhoslovenská kotlina basin and Hungarian mountain ranges. During the summer season, relaxing in the pools of Kúpalisko Detva comes in very handy. Although it is among the smaller ones, it offers all basic services in its lineup.

We realize that all the above-mentioned activities cannot be managed in a single day. Accommodation providers who present their accommodation facilities on the MegaUbytovanie portal will gladly prepare everything necessary for your pleasant stay. It is entirely up to you whether you choose to sleep in a cottage in Detvianska Huta or decide on a wooden cabin in Detvianska Huta. We will gladly assist you with your choice.

Despite the fact that Poľana is not among the highest peaks of our country, it is certainly one of the best-known. It owes this not only to folk songs that even small children know, but also to the fact that it is the most famous extinct volcano in Slovakia. And perhaps it is right in its immediate surroundings that you will experience the best skiing.

The ski resort Poľana nad Detvou will surely surprise you with the quality of skiing that you will be able to experience here. The resort itself lies on the southern slopes of the well-known Poľana, in a protected landscape area. This fact alone hints that something exceptional awaits you here. Beautiful nature and piles of snow in winter. What more could one wish for?

You can get to this ski resort from Hriňová, which is famous for its healing stays or water reservoir. From there, you will continue along a mountain road for about another 12 km. The Poľana nad Detvou resort can also be reached from Detva, which is famous for its folklore. If you choose this option and do not go via Hriňová, you will discover typical Detva scatter-site settlements.

You will certainly be surprised by the breathtaking view into the valley. You probably do not expect the ski resort to be spread out at a high altitude. However, the opposite is true. The ski slopes start at an altitude of 1184 and end at 1320 meters above sea level. In the ski resort, you will find a trio of ski lifts that ensure comfortable and fast transport for all skiers. Poľana nad Detvou boasts a pair of ski slopes that will mainly appeal to less demanding skiers. The first ski slope is marked in blue and is intended for absolute beginners or children. More experienced skiers will certainly appreciate the red, moderately difficult ski slope. Once again, we must remind you of the breathtaking view that awaits you while traversing the snow-covered plains.

The total length of the ski slopes in the resort is 1.7 km. A ski kindergarten and a separate children's lift are intended for the youngest toddlers. Here they will learn the art of skiing either accompanied by their parents or through qualified ski instructors.

In addition to everything mentioned, the rich offer of additional services and the quality background of the ski resort will also please you. A free parking lot, a buffet, a quality restaurant, a ski equipment rental and storage, and a ski service await you here. The Poľana nad Detvou ski resort also thinks of cross-country skiing enthusiasts. Here they will find up to 7 km of maintained trails in the beautiful environment of the surrounding forests.

Considering that the resort is located deep in the mountains, you will have to count on the fact that accommodation will be somewhat further away. An exception is the mountain hotel directly on the slope. However, in the surrounding villages, there is a sufficient number of various cottages, private rooms, and apartments that will satisfy even the most demanding. You no longer need to think about it, just pack your bags and hit the road.

If during your holidays you like to discover the hidden beauty of our country, perhaps this summer you will find yourself in the picturesque village of Strelníky. It is right here, in a small village spreading across the northern slopes of Poľana, in the district of Banská Bystrica, that you will find the modest Letné kúpalisko Strelníky. The unique atmosphere of water fun and poolside relaxation is complemented here by beautiful natural scenery. If your travels through Central Slovakia bring you to Strelníky, do not hesitate to go and enjoy it.

Kúpalisko Strelníky is situated on the border of the Chránená krajinná oblasť Poľana (Poľana Protected Landscape Area), on the grounds of the soccer field. Two pools are prepared for visitors. Swimmers and sports enthusiasts will find what they are looking for in a 25 x 10 m swimming pool with a depth of up to 1.45 m. Families with children will certainly appreciate the small children's pool measuring 4 x 6 m with a depth of 0.45 m. Set in a beautiful green area, the swimming pool is thus a popular spot for a wide spectrum of visitors.

If you are among those who go to swimming pools mainly with the aim of nicely relaxing by the pool, you will certainly come into your own in Strelníky. While other members of your family enjoy fun in the water, you can rent a lounger or a chair, or spread out a blanket on the lawn and sunbathe. And if your children happen to tire of swimming, the entire area of the sports field is at their disposal. Bring along a ball or a badminton set and enjoy pleasant family moments in the fresh air. Parking for visitors is free right next to the field. Parents of teenagers will also be pleased with Wi-Fi access throughout the area.

Take a break in your itinerary and stop by this small swimming pool for a moment, where you will enjoy water fun and pleasant relaxation. Afterward, you can continue along hiking trails, for example, to the ruins of Hrad Dúbravica or to the historical gem of the village of Poníky, the beautiful Stredoveký kostolík sv. Františka z Assisi. Or does the magical Ľupčiansky hrad attract you more? In the surroundings of tourist-beloved Banská Bystrica, a full spectrum of interesting options is offered to you. It is similar when it comes to accommodation options near Letné kúpalisko Strelníky. Accommodation in Strelníky and its surroundings represents a whole range of cottages and chalets where they will gladly welcome you and provide excellent conditions for rest after demanding days filled with experiences.

If you belong to lovers of horses and everything associated with them, head to Ranč Megi. The ranch is located near the district town of Poltár, in the part designated as Prievrana.

More experienced riders can choose walks into the surrounding nature accompanied by a professional rider. You will truly enjoy an expert and loving approach to people and animals here.

However, not everyone desires to enjoy views of the world from horseback. For larger groups of visitors or even families with children, there is the option of carriage rides at the ranch. From this trip, you can bring home an excellent souvenir in the form of photographs that you can brag about to your family, friends, or acquaintances. During the summer holidays, you might manage to book a spot and attend one of the interesting camps intended primarily for children. They can also go wild on a richly equipped children's playground.

If you plan other activities besides just riding, during hot summer days you can refresh your sun-heated bodies in the pools of the Poltár municipal swimming pool. You can observe the beauties of the surrounding nature in the fresh air from the observation tower on Jasenina. Enriching your artistic spirit is also possible during a visit to the synagogue in Lučenec. Learning more about this region is possible in the Gemersko-malohontskom múzeu.
