Banská Štiavnica
This prestigious new residential neighborhood is located in one of the most sought-after areas of Banská Štiavnica, offering panoramic views of the iconic Kalvária and just minutes from the historic city center.
A former royal mining town, Banská Štiavnica was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and also forms the heart of the Štiavnické Hills Protected Landscape Area. Widely considered one of Slovakia’s most beautiful and culturally rich towns, it offers a rare combination of history, nature, and artistry.
In addition to full civic amenities - schools, kindergartens, shops, cafés, and healthcare and cultural institutions—the area boasts a vibrant gastronomic and artistic scene.
Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking trails, cycling routes, and legendary emerald-hued mining lakes (tajchy). Sitno peak and nearby historic mining tunnels provide both adventure and cultural immersion. Počúvadlo Lake, covering 12 hectares, is a favorite destination for recreation and cultural events throughout the summer season.
