The village Ve'bek'fd Slavkov is situated in the northwestern part of the region Spi'9a, on the southern slope of the High Tatras mountains. The surroundings of Ve'bek'fd Slavkov were permanently inhabited since the late-stone age (eneolit). Archaeological findings (of swiderien, radiolarit pieces and micro crystals) on the hill Burich - Pingos proved that the village was situated more to the north (closer to the High Tatras) than it is today. The first written reference about the village is from the year 1251. At that time the local population belonged to the Tur'e8iansky convent and as Germans they settled down at the area of today's village. Thus, Slavkov became one of the Spi'9a towns that have king's privileges and were united in the Spi'9a Sas Community. (1271). After 13 Spi'9a towns were given to the Polish king as a deposit. Ve'bek'fd Slavkov became a part of the Province of XI. Spi'9a Towns that belonged to the Spi'9a Castle. About the year 1465 it became a property of the Z'e1po'besk'fd family. From the history of Ve'bek'fd Slavkov we know that this village owned estates situated deep in the High Tatras mountains. One of the famous High Tatras peaks is still called Slavkovsk'fd '9at'edt (Slavkovsk'fd Peak) - 2452 m. Juraj Bucholtz mentioned a 3-days long ascent on the top of the Slavkovsk'fd Peak (in June 1664) in his notes from the year 1718. Nowadays Ve'bek'fd Slavkov is a modern village that is an ideal starting point for hiking. It also offers boarding and lodging facilities in hotels, pensions or family houses.
