Its largest part is the Horehron podolie, from the north lined by the massive wall of the Low Tatras and from the south by the sprawling backs of the Slovak Rudohoria. The cadastral area of Brezno itself has an area of 12,946 hectares and is situated at an altitude of 486 to 2043 m. m., the center of the town is at an altitude of 489 m n. m. Horehron podolie is a basin basin belonging to the highlands of Slovakia; ranging from 390 to 1,000 m above sea level, the bottom of the summit reaches the highest altitude from all the Slovakian bowls in Besnik Telgárte – 1,000 meters. The highest place of the area is the peak of Dumbier at 2,043 m above sea level. The lowest point is on the Hron River, which flows all the way from the strand below Kráľová hola to the beautiful meander section in the east-west direction. The height difference between the highest and lowest points causes great relief differentiation and the resulting differences in climatic and biogeographical characteristics.
