Telgárt (called Švermovo in 1948–1990) is a village and municipality in Brezno District, in the Banská Bystrica Region of central Slovakia.

Etymology

The name is of German origin: Tiergarten (initially a hunting area). In 1948, the village was named after a Czech resistance fighter and participant in Slovak National Uprising Jan Šverma. In 1990, the residents of the village returned to the original name claiming that it is still in use and Šverma never fought in Telgárt.

History

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1326 or in 1549 .

Geography

The village lies at an altitude of 881 metres and covers an area of 55.974 km². It has population of about 1,531 people. The Hron river rises in the cadastral area of the village, under the Kráľova hoľa mountain.
