Great Adventure Trips

Are you planning the trip of a lifetime to Slovakia? A guided or self-directed trip can relieve stress by allowing you to relax and enjoy the surroundings while your accommodations, transportation, meals, and activities are taken care of. This is definitely one of the top Things about Slovakia You Should Know.

You've probably figured out that if you're seeking for adventure in Slovakia, you'll head to the mountains in the north. The mountain ranges in Slovakia get increasingly impressive as you travel north, and this is where you'll find some of the country's best hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and snowshoeing. The Carpathian Mountains descend into central Slovakia before giving way to more level terrain. The Central Western Carpathians include the popular High Tatra range, which contains one of Slovakia's most popular national parks. The Ore Mountains, which are a major economic feature, are located further south (judging by the name, you can probably guess why).

Outside of the mountains, Slovakia is mostly lowland, with the Danube River running along the southern border. The Danube, a major link through Central Europe (and a fantastic site for a river tour! ), drains all of Slovakia's smaller rivers south. The western lowlands are dominated by Bratislava, whereas the eastern lowlands, albeit sparsely inhabited, are home to a wide area that stretches into Hungary.
