District of Spišská Nová Ves

The District of Spišská Nová Ves, tucked along the Hornád River in eastern Slovakia, is a place whose character is shaped by the broad Hornád Basin and its proximity to Slovak Paradise National Park. Its administrative centre, Spišská Nová Ves, developed as a medieval mining town and remains the commercial focus of the Spiš region. The town’s long, lens-shaped main square is lined with historic burgher houses and dominated by the Parish Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, whose 87-metre tower is Slovakia’s tallest church tower. Forests, gorges and marked walking routes of Slovak Paradise lie close by. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on the Spiš region and eastern Slovakia.
