The Botanical Garden lies within the campus of one of the world’s first technical academies.
Here you’ll find more than 200 species of trees and shrubs from all over the world, and benches where you can rest legs tired from Štiavnica’s steep lanes. Among the most interesting are the giant sequoia and the cedar of Lebanon, beside which a person looks like a tiny dot. We recommend photographing them from below: not only is the view breathtaking, it’s also the only way to fit a whole tree in the frame. The Štiavnická Anča sightseeing road train also stops here; it starts and, after its circular tour, finishes on Holy Trinity Square.
