The village Ždiar was founded in the second half of 16th century. First written mention about the village dates back to 1590. Ždiar was founded by František Lužinský, castellan of Horváth family, the largest feudal family in a region of northern Spiš.
Ždiar village is one of Slovakia’s jewels – a distinctive Tatra village with its own specific traditions, customs, folklore, culture and more than 1300 inhabitants. Ždiar is specific for its architecture, Goral settlements and typical Goral monostructure. Its whole adjacent territory is included in the protected area of TANAP, Golias Nature Reserve, the Belian Tatras Nature Reserve, UNESCO and PRLA. A number of endangered species of fauna and flora can still be found in the area. Cadastre of Ždiar is a part of a national ecological network NECONET.
The village is situated in an elevation of 896 metres, located to the north of a city Poprad (32 km). Ždiar lies in Podtatranská brázda furrow and is bordered by Spišská Magura in the north, Eastern Tatras in the east and a state border with Poland in the west (13 km). Southern gate is formed by the area of the Belian Tatras.
