District of Prievidza

Set within the Upper Nitra Basin below the Malá Magura Mountains, the District of Prievidza is an area whose character is shaped by the Nitra River and the broad valley it follows. Its administrative centre, Prievidza, developed as a historic market town, while nearby Bojnice is marked by Bojnice Castle, a medieval fortress remodelled in a romantic style during the 19th century. The district also includes the coal-mining towns of Nováky and Handlová, reflecting Upper Nitra’s industrial heritage. Forested uplands rise above the settled valley floor, connecting its towns with hiking country.
