Donovaly - Nová hoľa 916 - 1360 m
Jedným z najznámejších vrchov Veľkej Fatry je vrch Nová Hoľa vypínajúci sa nad obcou Donovaly. Na jeho východných svahoch sa nachádzajú lyžiarske zjazdovky a vleky. Z vrcholu ležiaceho vo výške 1361 m n. m. sa naskytajú krásne výhľady na panorámu Nízkych Tatier a Veľkej Fatry. Z Novej hole možno poľahky vystúpiť na blízky vrch Zvolen. Východiskom túr do tejto oblasti môžu byť Donovaly, Veľký Šturec či Liptovské Revúce (časť Nižná Revúca). Počas letnej turistickej sezóny sa možno na Novú Hoľu vyviezť lanovkou z Donovál.
Horská obec Donovaly sa nachádza severne od Banskej Bystrice v nadmorskej výške 960 metrov, na rozhraní pohorí Veľká Fatra a Starohorské vrchy. Jednotlivé osady obce ležia tak na severných (liptovských), ako aj južných (horehronských) svahoch horského sedla, pričom hranica katastra, a teda i okresu Banská Bystrica, prechádza takmer k osade Korytnica. V južnej časti sedla pramení Starohorský potok, ktorého prítoky odvádzajú vodu do Hrona, severnú časť chotára odvodňujú prítoky Korytnice.
Obe najbližšie mestá – Banská Bystrica i Ružomberok – sú vzdialené približne 27 km a dostupné po ceste I/59. Východná časť chotára zasahuje do Národného parku Nízke Tatry a v tejto časti sa nachádza aj prírodná rezervácia Štrosy.
Lyžiarske stredisko PARK SNOW Donovaly
PARK SNOW Donovaly patrí medzi najznámejšie lyžiarske strediská na Slovensku. Obec Donovaly sa rozprestiera na rozhraní Národných parkov Nízke Tatry a Veľká Fatra, od Banskej Bystrice je vzdialená 25 km, od Ružomberka 29 km.
Celková dĺžka zjazdoviek v stredisku je 11 km. Zjazdovky sú sústredené do dvoch areálov –Záhradište a Nová hoľa, tieto prepájajú tri krátke vleky.
Záhradište je vhodné pre začiatočníkov a mierne pokročilých lyžiarov. Premáva tu 4-sedačková lanovka (dĺžka 646 m, prevýšenie 117 m) a 12 lyžiarskych vlekov.
Nová hoľa spolu s Patočinami ponúka červeno-čierne zjazdovky pre stredne pokročilých a pokročilých lyžiarov.

Ponuku dopĺňa vlek Mišúty s modrou zjazdovkou v blízkosti parkoviska.
Služby v stredisku
Na Donovaloch pôsobí viaero požičovní, lyžiarskych a snowboardových škôl. Jedinečnými atrakciami, ktorými je stredisko známe, sú jazdy na psích záprahoch a snowparagliding. Pri dolnej stanici lanovky na Novú hoľu nájdete klzisko.
Snowpark
Riders park Záhradište je podľa viacerých nezávislých hodnotení najkvalitnejší snowpark na Slovensku. Pripravuje sa tu slovenská reprezentácia v slopestyle snowboardingu a v akrobatickom lyžovaní. Ponúka denne upravované prekážky rôznych náročností, či oddychovú zónu. V predaji je špeciálny bodový skipas pre snowpark.
Wellness
Niekoľko hotelov i apartmánových domov na Donovaloch disponuje bazénmi a saunami dostupnými pre ubytovaných aj neubytovaných hostí. Najbližšími termálnymi aquaparkami sú Bešeňová (38 km cesty autom) a Lúčky (40 km cesty autom).
Bežecké trate
Na Donovaloch si na svoje určite prídu tiež vyznávači bežeckého lyžovania. K dispozícii sú 2 bežecké okruhy v okolí Polianky a Močiarov a trasa z Donovál na Šachtičku. Celková dĺžka pravidelne upravovaných bežeckých trás je 18,4 km. Sú pripravované vždy pred víkendom pre korčuliarsky štýl.
Novú mapu bežkárskych tratí je možné bezplatne získať v miestnom infocentre alebo si stiahnuť z webovej stránky parksnow.sk, sekcia mapy.
Tipy na horskú turistiku
Donovaly ponúkajú vynikajúce podmienky na horskú turistiku, nakoľko sa nachádzajú na rozhraní dvoch národných parkov Nízke Tatry a Veľká Fatra. Vrchol Novej hole, kam vás pohodlne vyvezie moderná sedačková lanovka, je ideálnym východiskovým miestom na hrebeňové túry vo Veľkej Fatre. Z osady Polianka zasa vedie turistický náučný chodník po stopách Špaňodolinského banského vodovodu, ktorý slúžil svojmu účelu už na začiatku 16. storočia.

SUMMARY
=======
Veľká Fatra National Park (Slovak: Národný park Veľká Fatra) is a National Park in Slovakia. Most of it lies in the southern part of the Žilina Region and a small part in the northern part of Banská Bystrica Region. The national park and its protective zone comprise most of the Greater Fatra Range (Slovak: Veľká Fatra) which belongs to the Outer Western Carpathians.
The National Park was declared on 1 April 2002 as an upgrade of the Protected Landscape Area (Slovak: Chránená krajinná oblasť (CHKO) Veľká Fatra) of the same name established in 1972 to protect a mountain range with a high percentage of well-preserved Carpathian forests, with prevailing European beech, which cover 90% of the area in combination with ridge-top cattle pastures dating back to the 15th – 17th centuries, to the times of the so-called Walachian colonisation. In places there are also relict Scots pine forests and the Harmanec valley is notable as the richest Irish yew tree location in Central and probably all Europe. NP Veľká Fatra is also an important reservoir of fresh water thanks to high rainfalls and low evaporation in the area. The core of the range is built of granite which reaches the surface only in places, more common are various slates creating gently modelled ridges and summits of the so-called Hôlna Fatra and limestone and dolomite rocks creating a rough and picturesque terrain of the so-called Bralná Fatra. There are also many karst features, namely caves, Harmanec Cave being the only one open to the public.
Various rocks and therefore various soils, diverse type of terrain with gentle upland meadows and pastures, sharp cliffs and deep valleys provide for extremely rich flora and fauna. All species of big Central European carnivores live abundantly there: brown bear, grey wolf and Eurasian lynx.
The area is popular with tourists, mainly hikers and trekkers as there rather few resorts, located outside the National Park. The UNESCO World Heritage village of Vlkolínec with well-preserved log cabins lies nearby.

Hrebeňom Veľkej Fatry 2016 Donovaly, Zvolen
V sobotu 28.5.2016 sa uskutočnila prvá turistická akcia turistov z Radavy .
Navštívili sme pohorie Veľká Fatra, ktoré je od nás relatívne ľahko dostupné.
Prvé vrcholy sa nachádzajú kúsok za Banskou Bystricou – dostupné do 2 hodín.
Veľká Fatra je rozsiahle pohorie, ktoré bolo už od roku 1971 vyhlásené za CHKO – chránená krajinná oblasť.
Následne v roku 2002 bola vyhlásená za Národný park Veľká Fatra s tým, že platia prísnejšie
Pravidlá na ochranu prírody a pohyb v nej.
Uvedené pohorie má poväčšine hôľny charakter, čím je turisticky veľmi príťažlivá najmä v období jari
A jesene- keď sa tu dajú vidieť neskutočné scenérie.
Najvyšším vrcholom je Ostredok s výškou 1595m –umiestnený v centrálnej časti.
Turisticky najvyhľadávanejšie sú vrcholy – Krížna , Rakytov , Borišov , Kľak ,Ostrá,…
Nakoľko pohorie má hôľny charakter – v strmších pasážach je ideálne na vznik lavín.
Najväčšia lavína na Slovensku vznikla práve vo Veľkej Fatre – keď v roku 1924 sa zosunuli
Návaly snehu z vrcholu Krížnej a zasypali časť dedinky –resp. osady Rybô. Lavína si vyžiadala
18 ľudských obetí.
Najznámejšie centrá sú Donovaly, Malinô Brdo, Liptovské Revúce , Turecká.
Oblasť je známy hojným výskytom medveďa hnedého ale i ostatných živočíchov.
Popis túry:
Naša túra začala pri obecnom úrade v Radave – odchod o 7:00-autami.
-krátka zastávka v obci Turecká ,kde sme mali podľa pôvodného plánu začať s výstupom na Krížnu.
Keďže predpoveď počasia nebola ideálna ,zmenili sme pôvodný plán a presunuli sme sa na Donovaly.
Z parkoviska na Donovaloch /nadm. výška 930m/ sme vyrazili okolo 9:45 už po svojich .
Po červenej značke – smer Zvolen- výstup síce krátky ale dosť strmým terénom.
Na vrchole Zvolena /1402m/ sme stáli asi 11:30hod.
Po krátkom oddychu a obede v závetrí sme už po žltej značke pokračovali po hrebeni
A asi o ďalšiu hodinku sme stáli na ďalšom vrchole – Malý Zvolen /1371m/- čas 13:15
Najkrajšie výhľady boli z Malého Zvolena – priamo pred nami boli Rakytov, Salatín , Ploská
A cez údolie i hrebeň Nízkych Tatier počínajúc Prašivou a Veľkou Chochuľou.
Po tej istej trase sme sa vrátili a prešli na lanovkový vrchol – Nová hoľa /1372m/-čas 14:20
Vrchol Novej hole je okrem lyžiarov známy aj pre milovníkov paraglaidingu – nakoľko je svojím
Reliéfom ideálny na lietanie s padákmi.
Nakoľko sa začalo nepríjemne mračiť – veľa lietania sme si tu neužili a radšej sme zvolili zostup
Po tej istej trase na Donovaly – kde sme dorazili okolo 15:30.
Celková túra teda trvala slabých 6 hodín- pohodovým tempom, ktoré zvládli aj deti.
/najmladší to zvládli vo veku 6 rokov/
-cestou domov sme sa zastavili pod hradom Revište, ktorý sa nachádza tesne pri Žarnovici.
Pozorovali sme ho radšej len z bezpečia reštaurácie Pod hradom – kde sme si dopriali zaslúžené
Občerstvenie.
Domov sme sa dostali tesne pred 20 hodinou, kde sme skonštatovali, že sme strávili celkom
vydarený deň.
Dúfajme, že nebol posledný, …..
Kto je zvedavý ako to tam vyzeralo, k dispozícii sú aj fotografie a krátky film z uvedeného
zájazdu.

Farmárske trhy, Zatváranie Bánoša 2019 Banská Bystrica, Farm Markets Slovakia. Sausages, Grilled Meat, BBQ. A farmers' market is a physical retail marketplace intended to sell foods directly by farmers to consumers. Farmers' markets may be indoors or outdoors and typically consist of booths, tables or stands where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, and sometimes prepared foods and beverages. Farmers' markets exist in many countries worldwide and reflect the local culture and economy. The size of the market may be just a few stalls or it may be as large as several city blocks. Due to their nature, they tend to be less rigidly regulated than retail produce shops
They are distinguished from public markets, which are generally housed in permanent structures, open year-round, and offer a variety of non-farmer/non-producer vendors, packaged foods and non-food products

Zvolen to Banska Bystrica : Sicily to Ukraine by camper van part 77
SEE MY FACEBOOK GROUP ON MOTORHOME TRAVEL :
In this film, I leave Zvolen and head the 20km route towards Banská Bystrica in Slovakia on the E77 route. I get lost en route owing to new roads which are not shown on my satellite navigation system.
Zvolen has been inhabited since Paleolithic times and the first Slav settlement was founded in the ninth century. In the 11th and 12th centuries, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, Pustý hrad, was constructed. The town, originally built under the castle, lay on an important trade route (Via Magna) from Buda to Kraków. Zvolen was granted town privileges by King Béla IV in the 1230s - as one of the first towns in the Kingdom of Hungary. The privileges were confirmed on 28 December 1243. King Louis I built a new castle, which became a popular hunting resort of the Hungarian kings. The future queen regnant Mary of Hungary and emperor Sigismund celebrated their wedding there in 1385.
In the Rákóczi's War of Independence the Kuruc army in the battle of Zvolen defeated forces from Austria, Denmark, Vojvodina and Hungary.
In 1848-49, Ľudovít Štúr was a member of the Diet, with Zvolen as his constituency. In 1871-1872, two new railways were built and Zvolen became an important railroad hub and important industrial centre. Zvolen played an important role during the Slovak National Uprising. Two of its armored trains, which were made in the local railway manufactory, Hurban and Štefánik can be seen near the Zvolen castle.
Zvolen is an important railroad, an important road hub and has a large timber factory and a technical university. An airport in nearby Sliač offers direct flights to Prague. The town square was modernized in 2002 and local businesses are popular with tourists. In wintertime an ice rink is constructed in the center and festive celebrations run throughout December.
Banská Bystrica was founded thanks to deposits of copper, silver, gold, and iron. The present city was built upon a former Slavic settlement which became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. According to Slovak archaeologists Banská Bystrica started as a permanent settlement in the 9th century although it may have been destroyed by the Mongols in 1243--44. In 1255 King Béla IV granted Banská Bystrica extensive municipal privileges, in order to attract more skilled settlers. Descendants of the German immigrants to this and other counties became later known as the Carpathian Germans. Banská Bystrica became one of the world's largest producers of copper by the 16th century. With the most sophisticated mining technologies in Europe, an advanced accounting system, and benefits including medical care for its 1,000 employees, the main mining company Ungarischer Handel was one of the largest and most modern early-capitalist firms.
Banská Bystrica became one of the foremost centers of the Protestant Reformation in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th century. Copper deposits had been all but depleted by the 18th century, but new industries, such as timber, paper, and textiles, developed.
During World War II, Banská Bystrica became the center of anti-Nazi opposition in Slovakia when the Slovak National Uprising, one of the largest anti-Nazi resistance events in Europe, was launched from the city on 29 August 1944. The insurgents were defeated on 27 October, however, and Banská Bystrica was briefly occupied by the German forces before it was liberated by Soviet and Romanian troops on 26 March 1945. After the war, Banská Bystrica became the administrative, economic, and cultural hub of central Slovakia. It has been a university town since the 1950s. Its largest Matej Bel University was founded in 1992.
Banská Bystrica lies at an altitude of 362 metres above sea level and covers an area of 103.37 square kilometres.
Banská Bystrica is situated in the Hron River valley (Slovak: Pohronie). The Hron River curves through the city from the east to the south. The city nests among three mountain chains: the Low Tatras to the north-east, the Veľká Fatra to the north-west, and the Kremnica Mountains to the west. All three are protected areas because of their environmental value. Banská Bystrica hosts the headquarters of the Low Tatra National Park. Despite the proximity of these mountain ranges, the local landscape is dominated by the much lower Urpín Mountain, 510 metres.

Banská Bystrica to Staré Hory : Sicily to Ukraine by camper van part 78

In this film I leave Banská Bystrica heading towards the nearby village of Staré Hory. As you can see the views are outstanding - and there is plenty of places where you can wild camp if you want!
Banská Bystrica was founded thanks to deposits of copper, silver, gold, and iron. The present city was built upon a former Slavic settlement which became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. According to Slovak archaeologists Banská Bystrica started as a permanent settlement in the 9th century although it may have been destroyed by the Mongols in 1243--44. In 1255 King Béla IV granted Banská Bystrica extensive municipal privileges, in order to attract more skilled settlers. Descendants of the German immigrants to this and other counties became later known as the Carpathian Germans. Banská Bystrica became one of the world's largest producers of copper by the 16th century. With the most sophisticated mining technologies in Europe, an advanced accounting system, and benefits including medical care for its 1,000 employees, the main mining company Ungarischer Handel was one of the largest and most modern early-capitalist firms.
Banská Bystrica became one of the foremost centers of the Protestant Reformation in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th century. Copper deposits had been all but depleted by the 18th century, but new industries, such as timber, paper, and textiles, developed.
During World War II, Banská Bystrica became the center of anti-Nazi opposition in Slovakia when the Slovak National Uprising, one of the largest anti-Nazi resistance events in Europe, was launched from the city on 29 August 1944. The insurgents were defeated on 27 October, however, and Banská Bystrica was briefly occupied by the German forces before it was liberated by Soviet and Romanian troops on 26 March 1945. After the war, Banská Bystrica became the administrative, economic, and cultural hub of central Slovakia. It has been a university town since the 1950s. Its largest Matej Bel University was founded in 1992.
Banská Bystrica lies at an altitude of 362 metres above sea level and covers an area of 103.37 square kilometres.
Banská Bystrica is situated in the Hron River valley (Slovak: Pohronie). The Hron River curves through the city from the east to the south. The city nests among three mountain chains: the Low Tatras to the north-east, the Veľká Fatra to the north-west, and the Kremnica Mountains to the west. All three are protected areas because of their environmental value. Banská Bystrica hosts the headquarters of the Low Tatra National Park. Despite the proximity of these mountain ranges, the local landscape is dominated by the much lower Urpín Mountain, 510 metres.
Staré Hory is situated in the Staré Hory Mountains, between the Veľká Fatra and Low Tatra mountain ranges. In 2004, Staré Hory had population of 469.
The copper deposits in the vicinity of the village were exploited as early as 2000--1700 BCE. The stone tools used by prehistoric miners have been found both in Staré Hory and the nearby village of Špania Dolina. However, the name of the village was mentioned for the first time in 1536. In the 16th century, a smelting plant was built there. After the mining industry declined, the main economic activity shifted from the production of copper and charcoal to making bobbin laces. Merchants from Staré Hory were selling bobbin laces all over Austria-Hungary.
