District of Spišská Nová Ves: Markusovce: Hnilčík - Mraznica
Few places in the Košice Region have a history as closely tied to ore mining as Hnilec. Set in the Slovak Ore Mountains, the municipality follows the Hnilec River through a narrow, forested valley, where open meadows and scattered homes break up the slopes. This part of Spiš was long shaped by the extraction and working of metals, a legacy shared by several settlements in the Hnilec valley. Today Hnilec retains the spacious, rural pattern of a mountain community rather than the density of a town. Woodland, pasture and the river corridor give this rugged part of eastern Slovakia a distinctly upland character.

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.

The Region of Košice combines the urban energy of Slovakia’s second-largest city with the broad, quieter landscapes of the east in a way that reflects its position between the Slovak Ore Mountains and the lowlands near Hungary. Košice is centred on Hlavná ulica, where St Elisabeth Cathedral forms the Gothic focal point of the historic core. Beyond the city, the Hornád River crosses a region of wooded hills, farmland and karst terrain. Slovak Karst National Park, known for its extensive cave systems, adds a distinct geological dimension to this corner of Slovakia.

Slovakia is best known internationally for the High Tatras, whose granite summits form the country’s most celebrated mountain landscape. Gerlachovský štít, at 2,655 metres, is the highest peak in Slovakia and in the Carpathians. The Danube runs past Bratislava, where Bratislava Castle stands on a hill above the river, linking the capital to Central Europe’s major waterway. Beyond the cities, forests, karst terrain and small historic towns define much of the country. Slovakia’s long folk tradition is also represented by the fujara, a large shepherd’s flute recognised by UNESCO.
