The route starts on Holy Trinity Square and ends in the centre of Banská Štiavnica.
It has a longer and a shorter variant, both marked with wooden signposts, and takes about 2.5–3 hours. Along the way you pass the Dežo Hoffmann Museum – dedicated to the photographer of stars such as the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe – the wooden art installation Transfer, the Hájovňa cultural and tourist centre, and a collapse pit left by mining, about 40 m deep. On the route you will see as many as 5 tajchs (historic mining reservoirs), including the famous tajch Veľká Vodárenská, whose turquoise water is very tempting on a hot summer’s day. Most of the route is panoramic, so you can enjoy views of the centre from different sides and heights. The route suits young and old, couples in love and curious photographers alike. Part of the growing popularity of this NEW route is due to a new structure called Javisko (‘the Stage’). Modern yet understated and sensitively set into the landscape, this small piece of architecture follows the lie of the land, and its stepped seating lets you rest at several levels, with a beautiful view of the town below and the Calvary in the background.
