Belušské Slatiny, Recreational area in Beluša, Slovakia.
Belušské Slatiny is a recreational settlement situated along the Slatinský stream valley, positioned between Beluša and the village of Mojtín. It occupies the transitional zone where lowland terrain of Považské Podolie meets the foothills of the Strážovské Mountains.
Hot springs in the area prompted the establishment of public baths from the 18th century onward, which operated until World War II. After the war, a religious order took over the historic structures and has maintained their presence there since.
The former bathhouse buildings now house a religious community whose daily life intertwines with local activities. This blend of monastic practice and village connection shapes how the place functions today.
The location is equipped with natural gas infrastructure and drinking water, making it suitable for visitor access. Those wishing to stay overnight can use accommodation at Chata pod horou, which typically operates from April through November.
Archaeological excavations near the chapel uncovered bronze pins dating to the Late Bronze Age. These findings reveal that people have lived in this region for thousands of years.
