District of Rožňava: Gemerská Hôrka
Tucked between the limestone ridges of the Slovak Karst, Gemerská Hôrka is a place whose character is shaped by a small settlement set among low, wooded hills. It belongs to the historic Gemer region in southern Slovakia, close to the Hungarian border, where villages and farmland occupy gentler ground between karst slopes. The Slovak Karst National Park, established in 1973, protects a broad area of plateaus, sinkholes and caves. Its cave systems form part of the UNESCO-listed Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst, shared by Slovakia and Hungary. Gemerská Hôrka provides a quiet rural counterpoint to this internationally recognised subterranean landscape.

The District of Rožňava lies along the Slaná River in Slovakia’s Košice Region, where the Rožňava Basin meets the Slovak Ore Mountains. Its centre, Rožňava, developed as a mining town, and that legacy remains visible around the broad historic square, dominated by a Renaissance watchtower. The Gothic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands nearby, while the former mining landscape gives the town a distinct character. South of town, the district reaches into Slovak Karst National Park, a limestone area of plateaux, sinkholes and caves; its caves form part of a UNESCO World Heritage property.

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.
