Scout camp
Hodrusa-Hamre is one of the oldest Scout campsites in Slovakia – an ideal base for scout expeditions and discovering nature and the historical monuments of the Stiavnica hills in the heart of Slovakia. There are a lot of opportunities for swiming in the lakes, hiking and extreme biking. Just 10 kilometres from the campsites is Banska Stiavnica – a Unesco World Heritage list town with a lot of museums and possibilities for sight-seeing.
The campsites are typical Slovak Scout bases, with „podsada" tents, cooking on a field cooker, a field canteen, open camp fires and field showers. The only permanent buildings are the toilets. The Scout base is quite large, so it offers more space for your own tents – the maximum capacity of both campsites together is about 120 visitors. Situated just two hundred metres from the lake, the campsites offer a lot of fun during hot summers. Discover the beauty of Slovak nature and the hospitality of Slovak Scouts!

Location
Searching for connection you can use slovak public transport web site www.cp.sk (if there is no bus connection, it is because bus schedules for upcomming summer are usually published after mid of december)
The best connection by public transport from Bratislava is by bus or train to Žarnovica, where you have to change for local buses. Closest bus stop to campsite is called Hodruša-Hámre,,u Honvédov and it is on the line from Žarnovica to Banská Štiavnica. Bus drivers usually do not speak English so write the name of the stop on the paper. From this bus stop there is a path to the camp site, it takes 35 minutes.
By car you can go also from Bratislava to Žarnovica, where you have to leave highway and turn right in direction to Banská Štiavnica or Hodruša-Hámre respectively. Go through Hodruša-Hámre and when you pass the village follow the signs which lead you to Salamandra ski resort. Next to this hotel (on the bank of the second lake which you will pass) there stops the solid road and you have to go behind the hotel from the right and také the forest road which goes up and to the right.
