The unspoilt nature of the High Tatras will take your breath away in every season of the year: in spring, when nature wakes up, but also in autumn, with its inspiring colours.
In addition to beautiful trails running through forests and around tarns, there is also a special one among treetops. The so-called Treetop Walk is located in the valley Bachledova dolina and introduces various tree species of the Spisska Magura mountains. Walking along the 600-metre-long trail will make you feel like part of the forest. Learn many interesting facts about animals and plants and feast your eyes on picturesque valleys and peaks.
If you think the view from a 32-metre-high tower in Bachledova dolina is not enough, we have two more ideas of how to admire the Tatras from above. A hot-air balloon flight reaching a maximum altitude of 2,500 metres is truly unforgettable. It takes a little over an hour and offers stunning views of the world’s smallest alpine mountain range from the basket. And if you haven’t flown in a hot-air balloon before, you will be officially accepted into the family of balloonists after you touch down. Or how about enjoying the Tatras, the Spis and Liptov regions and the Pieniny Mts from a four-seater single-engine CESSNA 172 SP aeroplane?
When talking about unbeatable views, Mt Lomnicky stit is definitely one of the top places to see. A unique red gondola lift surmounts a vertical drop of 855 metres in 8.5 minutes and travels to the highest-located café in Slovakia at the height of 2,634 metres above sea level.
Animals within a hand’s reach, attractions for children and fun events – this is what Tatralandia and Zoo Kontakt offer. If you have always dreamt of skydiving, try the wind tunnel at Hurricane Factory Tatralandia, which is right next door.
Pedal-car fans will love the Pedal Planet exposition of 120 pieces from around the world in Nova Polianka. These unique cars come from Italy, Germany and Great Britain, and there is even a separate section for the Rolls-Royce brand.
If you want to learn more about the nature of the Tatras and how it was made accessible to tourists in the past, visit the Tatra National Park Museum in Tatranska Lomnica. Don’t miss other themed museums specialising in skis or carriages, either. To learn more about our ancestors’ lives, set out for the open-air museums in Stara Lubovna, Pribylina, Vlkolinec and Zuberec. Historic towns worth visiting include Kezmarok and Levoca, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. And so is Spis Castle, one of the largest castle-ruin complexes in Central Europe.
Have a rest with us and enjoy the High Tatras in any season of the year!
