District of Rimavská Sobota: Zbojská
Zbojská is best known within Slovakia for its mountain pass on road I/72, which crosses the Slovak Ore Mountains between the Horehronie and Gemer regions. Forested ridges and small clearings give this part of central Slovakia a distinctly upland character, while the road provides an important route through the range. Zbojská is also associated with the historic Tisovec–Pohronská Polhora rack railway, built in 1896 to overcome demanding terrain; heritage trains operate on part of the line. The pass lies near Muránska planina National Park, an area of limestone plateaux, ravines and extensive woodland. Its setting contrasts with the broader valleys on either side of the mountains.

Mountain ranges and river valleys define much of the Region of Banská Bystrica - forestry, farming and former mining settlements have long developed around this rugged central Slovak terrain. The Hron, one of Slovakia’s principal rivers, runs through Banská Bystrica, the regional capital, before continuing south toward the Danube. North of the city, the Low Tatras form a major part of the region, while the Slovak Ore Mountains extend across its central and eastern areas. Banská Bystrica grew as a medieval mining town and is home to the Museum of the Slovak National Uprising, documenting the resistance movement of 1944.

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.
