General information
The Batizovce commune lies in the Poprad district, in the Prešov province. The commune is located in the Fatra-Tatra area, specifically in the western part of the Poprad Basin, approximately 11 km northwest of the Poprad city. The Cadastral area borders with the High Tatras - Starý Smokovec, Gerlachov, Svit, and Poprad - Veľka, Štôla, Mengusovce and Lučivná.
History and culture
The first mention of Batizovce comes from the mid-13th century when the area was a Celtic settlement. In 1264, the town was founded by comes Batiz (Botiz), son of Mark of Markušovce, to whom the Hungarian King Belo IV gave the Chetene wood. In 1279 Batiz ordered the local officials Gotšalka from Matejovce and Frolingi of Velka to cut down the forest and build a settlement on that land. The townspeople enjoyed the same privileges as the inhabitants of other towns: they could choose the mayor, the parish priest, etc. You could say that Batiz was not the founder of the town, but only the restorer of the old village of Cetina after the fall of Great Moravia. Cetina lay on an important route from Vel’ka to Lučivná. Later, the commune belonged to the Mariášovec family. It was they who ordered the construction of the 16th century Renaissance castle, and its reconstruction in the 18th century. The Mariášovcy baroque fortress was built in 1756.Flora and Fauna
The Slovak Paradise National Park is located in eastern Slovakia. In 1964 it was established as a protected landscape area and in 1988, thanks to government regulation, it was recategorised as a national park. The Paradise covers an area of 19 763 ha, and the protected area - 13 011 ha. Initially, the area now belonging to the park, was a uniform whole, then gradually split and re-formed by the currents of the rivers (Hornad, Hnilec) and streams (Veľký Sokol, Suchá Belá, Biely potok) into several larger and smaller areas. (Glac, Geravy). Over thousands of years, smaller rivers have formed gorges with waterfalls, so typical of the Slovak Paradise area (Kyseľ, Piecky, Sokolia dolina, Zejmarská roklina).About us
