Nature

Bušovce lies at the confluence of the Poprad River and its left-bank tributary, the Biela. The village is also situated on the main road from Spišská Belá, 4 kilometres away, to Podolínec, which is 6 kilometres away. The two distances place Bušovce on a specific connection between the two named places.

The regional biocorridor of the Poprad River is located in the cadastral area of Bušovce. Two named sections of water are described for fishing: the grayling fishing section Poprad no. 5 extends from the confluence of the Biela in Bušovce to the confluence of the Čierny potok in Spišská Belá–Strážky. Biela no. 1 is a fishable trout section extending from its confluence in Bušovce to the TANAP boundary.
