District of Sabinov
Drienica has served as a rural settlement in Slovakia’s Šariš region since the medieval period. It lies on the northern foothills of the Čergov Mountains, above the valley leading towards Sabinov, where wooded slopes and open meadows mark the transition from farmland to upland terrain. Drienica is closely associated with the Ski Drienica recreation area, while the surrounding Čergov provides routes for walking and cycling beyond the village. Nearby Sabinov retains a compact historic centre and was a filming location for the Oscar-winning Slovak film The Shop on Main Street. This is a quiet part of northeastern Slovakia shaped by small-scale settlement, forest and outdoor recreation.

Sabinov straddles the Torysa River in Slovakia’s Prešov Region, a valley location that fostered its role as a market town in the Šariš area. King Sigismund granted it the status of a free royal town in 1405, and its historic centre remains focused on the main square and the Gothic Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist. Sabinov also entered film history as a filming location for The Shop on Main Street, the 1965 Slovak-Czechoslovak film that won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The nearby Čergov Mountains give the town a distinctly upland setting. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Prešov Region.

Carpathian ranges and river-cut valleys define much of the Prešov Region – forests, pastureland and upland settlements shape forestry, farming and outdoor tourism. In northeastern Slovakia, the region extends from the High Tatras towards the Pieniny on the Polish border, with the Poprad, Hornád, Torysa and Ondava among its important waterways. Its cultural heritage is equally distinctive: Bardejov’s medieval centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while Spiš Castle recalls the historical importance of the Spiš area. Several UNESCO-listed wooden churches of the Slovak Carpathians also stand here. Explore related webcams around the Prešov Region for a broader impression of this part 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.
