From Donovaly the route leads through Špania Dolina, a charming little village which got stuck in the past, before continuing southwards to Banská Bystrica. Before arriving at Slovakia’s 5th largest city, the way takes you through one of its suburbs, Jakub, and its 14th C. gothic church of St. James the Greater, which has a relic of St. James and a stamp for your credencial.
