District of Žarnovica

The landscape around the District of Žarnovica is defined by the Hron valley and the wooded slopes of the Štiavnica Mountains and Pohronský Inovec, which have shaped both settlement patterns and local livelihoods. The Hron links communities including Žarnovica, Nová Baňa and Hronský Beňadik through this part of central Slovakia. Above the river stand the ruins of medieval Revište Castle, while the monastery at Hronský Beňadik, founded in 1075, is among the region’s most important historic religious sites. Forest roads, river valleys and former mining-country towns give the district a distinctly inland character.
