==== [[Slovakia]] ==== [[File:KremnickeBane-stred-europy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=.8|The marker stone in [[Kremnické Bane]], Slovakia]] In about 1815 there was a declaration that the centre of Europe was located near the mining town of [[Kremnica]], on a hill that forms the water division between the basins of the [[Baltic Sea]] and [[Black Sea]], near St. John Baptist Church. The method used for calculating is unknown, but from the description given on the commemorative plaque located near the church {{coord|48|44|37|N|18|55|50|E|type:landmark|name=Kremnické Bane, Slovakia (monument)}}, it seems that it has been the centre of the smallest circle circumscribed on Europe (yet the limits of Europe taken into consideration are not known). The title of the "Centre of Europe" is also claimed by the neighbouring village [[Krahule]] (ancient Blaufuß), which used to belong to the same parish, now a famous centre for winter sports, with a hotel and recreation centre called "Stred Európy" ("Centre of Europe"). {{clear}}
