29 June - 4 July 2022 | Relaxed hiking across national parks of Slovakia

Hello Everyone, borders are open again and I´d like to invite you to Slovakia to come with us to 4 different national parks for easy, but spectacular hikes. We will no rush and have enough time to enjoy all the places to the fullest.

To see reviews of our previous trips, have a look at our Facebook page

You will visit Mala Fatra mountains, Western Tatras and High Tatras mountains and Slovak Paradise as the last one. You will hike to the most beautiful places, which are easily reachable.

All hikes will be of EASY difficulty. Everyday we will walk for approx. 10-12 km with the total vertical ascent of 400 metres. The longest hike will be 13 km long with 700m of vertical ascent in the Western Tatras mountains.

You don´t need any previous experience with hiking, just to be in a good shape to be able to walk the hikes every day.

If you would like to explore Slovakia, don´t hesitate and join us on this trip. I will lead you in the mountains and show you the best places you can visit there. You will walk along the streams, through the dwarf pines, below majestic peaks, you will enjoy lunches on the shore of lakes and hopefully observe some wildlife such as chamoix or marmots.

KRAKOW EXTENSION

You can possibly extend your trip and visit Krakow before or after our hiking trip. Krakow is really beautiful and cheap city. It´s recommended to visit for example Wieliczka Salt Mine, listed in UNESCO and definitely the Old town. I also enjoyed piano concert of Chopin´s music.

COVID-19 RULES
Everyone can travel to Slovakia now.
