District of Brezno: Lyžařský areál Jasná - Zadné Dereše
Few places in the Banská Bystrica Region have a history as closely tied to mountain tourism as Jasná–Chopok. This mountain area occupies the slopes of Chopok in the Low Tatras, a long, forested range of central Slovakia whose main ridge separates Liptov from the Hron valley. Jasná is one of Slovakia’s best-known ski-resort areas, developed on both sides of the ridge and linked by lifts across the summit zone. The surrounding territory belongs to Low Tatras National Park, established in 1978, where spruce forest gives way higher up to dwarf pine and open alpine ground. On the southern Brezno side, roads and accommodation are set among the lower slopes, while the high ridge remains the defining feature of the region.

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.
