Ždiar is one of the gems of Slovakia. This unique village of some 1300 residents below the High Tatras is rich in traditions, folklore and culture. Particularly interesting is the well-preserved folk architecture with uniquely decorated windows and blue, red or white joints between the log beams, creating a strikingly colourful scene, rightly protected as a Conservation Area for Folk Architecture.

The surrounding area is rich in endangered species of flora and fauna, being part of the Tatras National Park (TANAP), UNESCO Tatras Biosphere Reserve, Goliášová Nature Reserve, Belianske Tatry National Nature Reserve and the NECONET national ecological network.

At around 896m above sea level, Ždiar is 32Km north of Poprad. It is situated in a valley surrounded by the Spišská Magura mountains to the north, Belianske Tatras to the South and West, leading towards the boundary with Poland (13Km).
