Slovakia – the country at the foot of the High Tatras is ideal for those of you, who like to get to know the places untouched by mass tourism.

In Slovakia not only the highest mountains of the Carpathians – the High Tatras are waiting for you, but also the lowlands around the largest Slovak river the Danube. The Carpathians on the border with Ukraine and Poland will surprise you in a different way. The slopes covered by deep forests in the Poloniny National Park create an amazing coulisse to the pearls of sacral architecture of Eastern Europe – wooden churches. In the mountains of Central Slovakia, rich in gold, silver and copper in the past, there are middle-age mining towns, which are rightly enlisted on UNESCO cultural monuments list (Banská Štiavnica).
