Štós

Štós (before 1973 Štos; German: Stoß, earlier Stoos; Hungarian: Stósz, earlier Soosz, in the Middle Ages Hegyalja) is a village and municipality in Košice-okolie District in the Košice Region of eastern Slovakia.

Other towns in Bodva Valley include: Jasov, Lucia Bania, Medzev (Metzenseifen), and Vyšný Medzev (Upper Metzenseifen).

After the Mongol invasion of 1241, the depopulated region was resettled by German settlers.

The place-name derives from the German family name Stoss.

In 1449 Johann Kistner from Štitník gave his part of the village to Carthusian monastery of the Spiš County.
