Webcam description

In English
Ski centrum Mýto pod Ďumbierom. Mýto pod Ďumbierom is a mountainy village situated in the protected area of the Low Tatras National park (NAPANT). The village arose in the 15-th century as a vassal of the Brezno city on the way from Brezno to the Liptov region. Precious metals and iron were mined here till the 17-th century. Majority of the local population worked as farmers, cattle keepers, shepherds, later as workers in the iron-works in Podbrezová and sawmills in surroundings (especially since the 19-th century). Many of them worked in their free time at home as weavers. Only a few rustic houses from the 19-th century remained till today. You can find them in small groups along the road. In the village there is an Evangelic church from the years 1822 - 1828, rebuilt in classicistic style in 1932 and a Roman-Catholic church from the year 1840.

Lyžiarske stredisko Mýto pod Ďumbierom. Horská obec v doline Štiavničky ležiaca v ochrannom pásme NAPANT-u. Vznikla ako poddanská obec Brezna v 15. storočí na ceste do Liptova. Do 17. storočia sa tu ťažili drahé kovy a železná ruda. Obyvatelia pracovali v poľnohospodárstve, chovali dobytok, ovce, neskôr pracovali ako robotníci a povozníci v Podbrezovských železiarňach a okolitých pílach. Pôvodné zamestnanie spojené s ťažbou drahých kovov dopĺňal salašnícky chov oviec, v 19. storočí práca na píle i domácka výroba (najmä tkanie plátna, súkna - v obci bola valcha, ktorá pracovala aj pre okolie). Z 19. storočia sa ojedinele zachovali zrubové domy, skupinovo rozostavené okolo cesty. V obci sa nachádza evanjelický kostol z rokov 1822-1828 klasicisticky obnovený roku 1932 a rímskokatolícky kostol z roku 1840.
