Self-Guided Active Holidays in Slovakia │ SLOVAKATION

During this active weekend you will hike in the most beautiful mountains of Slovakia – the High Tatras mountains, and also in the Slovak Paradise, which is a playground for adults. Why? Because you will be walking on horizontal wooden ladders, climbing up ladders along small waterfalls and walking on catwalks above the streams and small rivers. You will also bike halfway up to one of the least visited valleys in Slovakia and hike to the least visited places of Tatras. It can be very hot in summer here, so we also prepared a rafting experience on famous river Dunajec and apart of that you can also go and do stand-up-paddle-boarding on Liptovka Mara water reservoir. If it´s still not enough, take a cable car to Chopok – higheast peak of the Low Tatras.
