HIDDEN GEMS OF THE LOW TATRAS

In addition to many opportunities to discover natural beauty and hiking trails, the Low Tatras National Park also offers places that offer a cultural or historically valuable experience. Horehronie, Liptov and the surroundings of Čertovica are interspersed with mining tunnels, caves and tourist attractions, which are sensitively set in the environment and are worth discovering. Every day spent in the region can be unique and full of experiences.

LOOKOUT TOWER ON KRAJČOV HILL

You will find the lookout tower after an easy, about half an hour's ascent from the main road in the village of Nižná Boca. The route is well marked. Nižná Boca is approximately 6km away from Chata pod sedlom Čertovica and can be easily reached by car or by walking along the paved road directly from the cottage through the village of Vyšná Boca. The walk takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. The lookout tower together with a mountain hut is on Krajčov hill above the village of Nižná Boca at an altitude of 1,000m. It serves as an observatory for quick identification of fires in the area. Thanks to its height of 14.5 metres and a unique location it offers a beautiful view of the entire village of Nižná Boca and the Bocianska valley. If you are lucky to have a nice weather, you see the famous Kriváň peak.

BYSTRIANSKA CAVE

The cave is located 20km from Chata pod sedlom Čertovica in the village Bystrá, at a short distance from Brezno, just before Mýto pod Ďumbierom. It is the most important cave in the Horehronie valley. Cavers first entered it in 1926, but it was not opened to the public until 1968. The cave is 3,531m long, but the public can see only 545 metres. It is also suitable for immobile visitors, as there are only 20 easy-to-climb stairs. The entrance to the cave is located at an altitude of 565m only about 120m from the parking lot. It is characterized mainly by narrow and high corridors, however, you will also find beautiful halls with dripstone decoration, such as the Hall of Canopies or the Collapsed Dome. There is an abyss Hell, up to 56 metres deep, and you will be accompanied by several species of bats during the visit.

GOLD MINE – SALVATOR

Enthusiasts from the Salvator civic association in the village of Vyšná Boca opened the gold mining tunnel to the public in 2018. It is only part of the former extensive system of mining tunnels, which had up to four floors and four independent entrances. In the 16th and 18th centuries the mine was worked by the mining company Salwatoris gold bergwerk under the administration of the Royal Mining Chamber. Gold, silver and copper were mined here. According to some sources, the local mines produced up to 60 kilograms of gold per year.
