Rudohorie, Slovakia

The Slovak Ore Mountains are an extensive mountainous region of Slovakia’s Spiš and Gemer region, and in small part in northern Hungary, within the Carpathians. It is the largest mountain range in Slovakia.

It hides many places, which are long forgotten, but their history could talk for ages. Mountainous area once known for various types of metals gave a lot to this world. I am pretty sure that almost nobody in the world could imagine that during 18th century, more than 40% of worlds copper ore was from these mountains, which bloomed by life, culture and scientific innovations.

Nowadays, it is all gone and only beautiful nature and poor villages and cities are what is left.
