Research on road tolls is one of the marginal themes in Slovak historiography. Toll payments included dry tolls payable on roads and bridge or wet tolls payable on bridges, ferries and rivers. Payments were originally part of the royal prerogative. The paper is devoted to the problem of road tolls using the example of two neighbouring regions around the rivers Hron and Žitava, through which some important roads went in the middle ages. The author has succeeded in identifying a dense network of toll points on the basis of the written sources. The majority of them are recorded in written sources only from the 14th and 15th centuries. Perhaps we can suppose that some of them already existed in earlier periods. The size of toll payments is only occasionally mentioned. There were long-lasting disputes about the ownership of some important toll points, for example, Starý Tekov.
