Špania Dolina

Guia de viatge

Špania Dolina is a picturesque historic village in central Slovakia, around 10 km from Banská Bystrica. Once famous for mining, the village is embracing low level tourism and is an excellent base for hiking and mountain biking, with the Veľká Fatra and Nízke Tatry national parks in close proximity.

The most notable attraction is the fortified church, which was built in Gothic and Renaissance styles, with a little bit of Baroque thrown in for good measure. Many of surrounding buildings have been preserved or rebuilt, including some wooden miners' houses.

To get here take the bus from Banská Bystrica (30 minutes; €0.70).

This was taken whilst hiking between Špania Dolina and Banská Bystrica, both of which were old mining settlements. 

Incredible views of the surrounding area, although that was probably helped by the weather!

The former mining village Špania Dolina is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Slovakia. Copper and silver ores were mined here in the past.
