A walk that strikes just the right balance between the quiet of nature and the bustle of town.
It takes you above the azure waters of tajch Veľká Vodárenská (a historic mining reservoir) to the ruins of the vanished mining castle on Glanzenberg hill, which once guarded the nearby surface workings and the town below, and on past a cleft in a massive crag through which rich ore veins once ran. Both Glanzenberg and the crag offer stunning 360° views of the caldera of the Štiavnica stratovolcano and the town below. Narrow paths then lead you straight down into the centre of Banská Štiavnica. The circular route takes about 2.5 hours.
