District of Banská Bystrica: Donovaly, Záhradište - Donovaly - Nová hoľa
Built around the mountain pass linking Banská Bystrica with Ružomberok, Donovaly developed into one of Slovakia’s major mountain resorts. The settlement lies where the Low Tatras meet the Greater Fatra, on the route between central Slovakia and Liptov. Nová hoľa, rising above the resort, forms its principal ski area, with lifts and pistes laid out across wooded slopes. Donovaly also serves walkers and cyclists exploring the surrounding mountains. Its position on this traditional crossing connects the village with Banská Bystrica, a historic city closely associated with copper mining.
