About location

The landscape around Spišská Nová Ves Airport is a cultivated basin bordered by low, wooded hills, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The airfield stands on open ground south of Spišská Nová Ves, a regional town in eastern Slovakia’s historic Spiš area. Fields, scattered housing and surrounding uplands give this part of the Hornád Basin a spacious rural character, while the Hornád River runs through the town. Slovak Paradise National Park begins south of the urban area and is known for its gorges, waterfalls and forest paths. In the centre, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary has Slovakia’s tallest church tower, rising 87 metres. The airport and nearby open land mark the transition from town streets to agricultural countryside.

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.
