The feeling of coming here is very leisurely, although the cultural landscape is not very beautiful. But this town feels very clean.
A famous mining city, a one-hour drive from the provincial capital banska bystrica costs 2 euros. After getting off the car, follow the front of the car and continue forward into the old town and walk.

It is the only cultural heritage established by UNESCO in central Slovakia.
