We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Banská Štiavnica — The Mining Academy was founded in 1762 (or 1770 as a formal academy) by Empress Maria Theresa, not in 1735 by Samuel Mikovíny.
Banská Štiavnica — The claim that the Mining Academy became the first technical university in the world is inaccurate; the first technical university is generally considered to be the École Polytechnique (1794) or the Bergakademie Freiberg (1765).
Bardejov — The first written reference to Bardejov is not from the 1240s with a specific anecdote about monks complaining to King Béla IV; the standard first reference is 1241 or 1247 without that anecdote.
Bardejov — The Basilica of St. Giles is stated to have already been built by the 1240s, but the current basilica was built later (14th–15th centuries), so this is factually incorrect.
Bystrianska Cave — The lower entrance was opened in 1968, not 1932 as stated in the entry.
Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst — The site covers 55,800 hectares: The correct total area of the transboundary UNESCO site is about 56,650 hectares, not 55,800.
Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst — The site includes more than 1,000 karst caves: The inscribed property does not contain over 1,000 caves; that figure applies to the broader region.
Celemantia — The entry conflates the destruction during the Marcomannic Wars with the final abandonment, incorrectly stating the site 'ceased to exist around 400' as a single event, whereas it was rebuilt after the Marcomannic Wars and abandoned later in the late 4th or ea
Dobšiná Ice Cave — The claim that the cave 'ranks among the lowest ice caves globally' is factually incorrect; the entrance at 920 m a.s.l. is relatively high for an ice cave.
Dobšiná Ice Cave — The statement that the cave 'became the first electrically lit cave in Europe' in 1887 is disputed; Postojna Cave in Slovenia was lit in 1884, so this claim is not universally accepted as established canon.
Domica Cave — The claim that the cave's total length is 5,140 m is outdated; the current measured total length is approximately 5,368 m.
Domica Cave — The claim that archaeological finds include the oldest comb in Europe, made from bone, is incorrect; it is not definitively the oldest in Europe and this claim is disputed.
Dreveník — The entry implies Dreveník is a UNESCO World Heritage Site directly, but it is only part of the buffer zone or associated area of the 'Levoča, Spiš Castle and the associated cultural monuments' site, not a core UNESCO listing.
Dreveník — The claim that Dreveník is 'the oldest such formation near Spišské Podhradie' is vague and not established as a factual geological canon.
