SLOVAKIA
the Slovak Paradise The Slovak Paradise between the higher Tatras in the
north, the lower Tatras in the west and the Volovsky mountains in the south,
is recognized as a National Park of Slovakia. You will find here about 250
kilometers walk-ways, through canyons, over mountain-ridges and through
woods. Maps:
As always: easy to buy in the Park. Easter
2004: day-walks from the village of Mlynky in the Slovak Paradise. Mlynky is
an ideal base for starting your trips. Well marked foot-paths, in different
colors, very good to see at trees, houses, walls, poles and traffic-signs,
bring you to fine villages, such as Dobsinska Masa, Stratena, Dobsina and
Rakovec. Our advice:
the trails along the Stredne Piecky en de Velky Sokol, along and
through little rivers, upstream, in the eastern part of the Park. Shaky
gangways, ladders, ropes, chains……. Don’t do
it in case of fear of heights! Both routes start at the
parking place near Pila. For the Velky Sokol trail go two kilometers more
south. A “must” is the path along the river Hornad. The start you can find at
the parking place Podlesok , south-west from the city of Hrabusice, in the northern
part of the Park. ( Wear small rucksacks….) |
