District of Prešov
Drienica has served as a village in Slovakia’s Šariš region since the Middle Ages. Its upland setting lies in the foothills of the Čergov Mountains, a forested Carpathian range in northeastern Slovakia. The slopes above the settlement form the Ski Drienica area, where open runs, lift lines and woodland meet on the mountain flank. This is a quieter alternative to Slovakia’s larger mountain resorts, with terrain shaped by pasture, conifer forest and local recreation. Drienica stands near Sabinov, a historic Šariš town whose centre retains the form of a medieval market town. Together, the village and its slopes reflect the distinct mountain character of Šariš.

Few cities in eastern Slovakia have a history as closely tied to trade between the Kingdom of Hungary and Poland as Prešov. Set on the Torysa River below the slopes of the Šarišská vrchovina, this regional centre has long linked the Šariš area with routes running north towards the Carpathians. Its elongated main square is anchored by the Gothic Co-Cathedral of St Nicholas, while the historic Solivar complex recalls the salt production that shaped local commerce. Prešov is also the seat of the Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Prešov, an important institution in Slovakia’s religious life.

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.
