BOTANICAL GARDEN (BOTANICKÁ ZÁHRADA)

In Štiavnica, everything is at the top or bottom of the hill. One of the best ways to recharge your batteries is to stroll through the city's botanical garden with its 250 trees and plants from all over the world. The glory of Štiavnica lies not only in its subsoil, but also in its Academy of Mines, the first university of its kind in the world, established in 1762 by Maria Theresa. The botanical garden surrounds the buildings of this Academy.
