A picturesque village that remains true to tradition, surrounded by the beauty of the Low Tatras.
The first written mention of the village Pohorelá dates back to the beginning of the seventeenth century. The famous Hungarian historian Bálint Ila wrote it with his pen. Rich forests provide people with livelihoods and protect them from enemies and bandits. Today, Pohorelá is the third largest village in Horehronie. It lies at the foot of the Low Tatras below the Orlová hill. From the east, the King's staff, rumored by legends, looks at her. If you go south, you will see the charm of the vast Muránska plain. The river Hron divides the village into two parts. The northern Low Tatras and the southern in the Veporské vrchy area. Both sides offer the beauty of the mountains, many marked hiking trails and forgotten trails.
