4 years ago we visited village Špania Dolina.

The village is situated 11 km to the north from Bnaska Bystrica, not far from Stare Hory, on the borderline of the Low Tatras and the Great Fatra, in 728 m above sea level. It is an ancient mining village rich with history, going back in time to 2000 – 1700 B.C. sources

We did hike around all day and we did enjoy that very much.

We started in the "main square" :-) and walked through the small streets between the small houses.

we came to the old copper mine

then we got to the heap

where we had nice view over village

after little rest we continued to ski center Šachtičky

we have seen nice old houses on way back

on the way home we drove through the town of Banská bystrica. It was a long summer day, so we stopped there for a while and went up to the clock tower
