The Štiavnica is a 55 km long river in the middle of Slovakia and a right tributary of the Ipeľ .

The river has its source in the Schemnitz Mountains near Štiavnické Bane and shortly after the source it passes three of the remaining tajchy : Bakomi, Veľká Vindšachta and Evička. It runs further east through the area of ​​the city of Banská Štiavnica and then generally flows south. After Banská Štiavnica, the Štiavnica flows through places like Svätý Anton and Prenčov , before reaching the Ipeľská pahorkatina , a part of the Danube hill country, at Hontianske Nemce . Then the valley widens and on the way south the river touches places such as Hontianske Tesáre , where it receives its largest inflow, the right bank Belujský potok , and the health resort Dudince . It flows into the Ipeľ between Hrkovce and Vyškovce nad Ipľom , a few kilometers north of the state border with Hungary .
