Donovaly and surroundings

 

In the place where the Starohorské mountains meet massifs of Great Fatra and Low Tatras there is a wide mountain saddle – a village Donovaly. Because of its suitable natural conditions,  Donovaly became one of the centers  of the so called Partisan Republic (Germans burned nearly located villages Kľak and Kalište).
Donovaly are located on the boundary between Low Tatras and the Great Fatra. The highest point above them is Zvolen (1,402 m), next to the New Hoľa (1386 m) which has a cable car.
