Slovenská Ves: Hotels, Churches and Nature

Slovenská Ves lies in the northwest of the Poprad Basin on the southern slope of the Spišská Magura, in the valley of the Slovenský potok. The village is located at a road junction with connections to Spišská Stará Ves and Tatranská Kotlina.

Culture and History

The Roman Catholic Church of Očisťovania Panny Márie was built in the second half of the 14th century and remodeled in the Baroque style in 1769. Its main altar includes a rare late Gothic Madonna from 1510, from the workshop of Majster Pavol z Levoče. A later architectural accent is provided by the present-day Protestant church: it was built in 1906–1908 in the pseudo-Gothic style according to a design by the builder and entrepreneur József Mitra from Košice.

In the center of Slovenská Ves there is a protected historic park. Only a remnant of the original planting has survived. Finds of Stone Age stone artifacts from the late Paleolithic have been recorded at Kamence; in addition, an abandoned medieval village stood there in the 14th to 15th century. A kúria with ÚZPF number 947/1 is recorded in Slovenská Ves. In the cemetery, a wooden memorial pavilion bears the names of local people who fell in the First and Second World Wars.

Nature

Lúka Kúty is a moist, tall-growing meadow biotope on the lower course of the Slovenský potok, east of the agricultural facility. Partially protected, protected and endangered plant species occur there, including the rare and endangered marsh helleborine (Epipactis palustris). There are also two sites with beaver populations in the cadastral area of Slovenská Ves.

In the surroundings of Slovenská Ves, the Belianske lúky nature reserve offers an 800-meter-long educational trail with seven information panels. At its end there is a 250-meter-long elevated wooden walkway providing a direct view into the protected area. The final section is not accessible to bicycles.

Cycling and Winter

The lift at SKI CENTRUM ĽANDY is 400 meters long, overcomes an elevation gain of 120 meters and has a capacity of 300 people per hour.

A cycling route that passes through Červený Kláštor continues through Slovenská Ves, Spišská Belá and Kežmarok. The “Okolo Slovenskej Vsi” cycling race was held in Slovenská Ves in its 9th edition on June 30, 2025, and in its 10th edition on June 27.
