Slovakia is a landlocked country in the heart of Central Europe, with approximately 5.4 million inhabitants and its capital Bratislava. The Banská Bystrica region covers central and southern Slovakia, known for the mountain ranges of the Nízke Tatry and Vysoké Tatry, as well as a rich mining history dating back to the Middle Ages. The region attracts hikers, skiers, and nature lovers — the Nízke Tatry national park offers trails and ski resorts accessible throughout the entire year.
