Slovakia (Slovak Republic) The Extinct Medieval Settlement of Šoldov

Šoldov is a fascinating archaeological site and a deserted medieval settlement (dating roughly from the 13th to the 15th century). It is located beneath the High Tatras Mountains, within the municipality of Štrba (near the D1 highway and a cycling path heading towards Važec).

Since there are very few written records about it, the settlement is shrouded in mystery and legends.

Standard 24-70 lens or wide angle lens is best for this place.

The location is interesting during all seasons, but please be aware that the road leading to it is not maintained in the winter, and it is often covered in snow and not entirely safe for driving. Parking is available almost right at the location.
