High Tatras and Slovak Paradise: Experience canyons tour

Day 1: Transfer from Vienna/Bratislava to the NP High Tatras

In the morning, we’ll head straight into the High Tatras. Through the High Tatras and Low Tatras National Parks a 3 and half -hour journey takes us to the mountain lake Strbske Pleso.

After short hike we’ll move to the next place in the High Tatras region.

Your well-appointed accommodation will provide you with an excellent dinner, and breakfast the next day.

Day 2: The Sucha Bela canyon

The Sucha Bela canyon is the most favorite, beautiful and romantic place you can visit here. You will experience many ladders, chains and footbridges. Trips to this gorge are unforgettable experience with magical views and stunning nature.

During the whole hike, the tourist pathway leads along the stream. In narrow places, there are wooden footbridges and also some ladders. You will see many waterfalls: Misové vodopády, Korytový vodopád and Okienkový vodopád. After the rain and in the beginning of spring, the level of water in streams is higher and the pathway is sometimes full of muddy sections, and rocks can be possibly slippery; therefore, it is necessary to wear high waterproof trekking boots with Vibram sole. On your way you will see many waterfalls as well.

This canyon is one of the most visited; that’s why we don’t recommend hiking here in the period of summer holidays – July and August. On the other hand, the most beautiful hikes can be carried out in April, May and June and during autumn.

Late afternoon, after the tour we’ll visit Spis Castle, one of the largest mediaeval castles in central Europe.

Only 20 minutes from Slovak Paradise.

Day 3: River Hornád, Klástorska gorge

The river Hornad canyon is an unique experience with hiking paths above the river. More than 1 hour journey takes us to the place where another one gorge starts.

Klastorska gorge is an amazing place with ladders, chains and waterfalls.

There are many waterfalls on relatively short route of the gorge. It is moderately difficult round hike. The first part goes along the exposed canyon section of so-called Prielom Hornádu secured by the footbridges, chains, footboards and ladders. It is important to be very careful during the crossing. The second part consists of a hike on a comfortable terrain on the pathways in woods, and the whole hike ends in Kláštorisko.
