Combining hiking in the countryside with hiking in the city will give you both amazing and delicious experiences. For example, climb Sitno in the morning and visit the castle in the afternoon, or just stroll through the narrow streets of Štiavnica and sit in a café or wine bar in the evening. Thanks to the dense network of hiking trails, you can combine your own routes. Very attractive is, for example, the ridge stretching from the Červená studňa saddle (there is a taich here), through Paradajs, towards Tanád. There are several viewpoints, e.g. the Paradajs hill, or the area called Rosniarky. At the bottom there is a very nice viewpoint of Banská Štiavnica, accompanied by several stone menhirs. The Banská Štiavnica Calvary is one of the most beautiful Baroque calvaries in Europe. It stands on the Scharffenberg hill and can be seen from all sides. The ascent to the Upper Church is a pleasant walk and offers unique views of the town itself and the surrounding area. There are also trails suitable for children and less fit hikers.

In Banská Štiavnica Pegas Riding Club or in Sv. Anton Ranch Wild Zapadakov there is a possibility of riding a horse, but you need to report 2-3 days in advance.
