Banská Bystrica, Regional capital in central Slovakia.
The city stretches along the Hron River in a valley surrounded by the Low Tatras, Veľká Fatra, and Kremnica Mountains at 362 meters elevation.
German settlers established this mining town in the 13th century, receiving royal privileges in 1255 and later developing copper extraction activities.
