Slovak Karst National Park, National park in eastern Slovakia
The Slovak Karst National Park covers limestone terrain shaped by underground water erosion into caves, canyons, and natural formations. The landscape includes marked trails and accessible cave systems suitable for various visitor experience levels.
The area was recognized as a protected landscape in 1973 and gained national park status in 2002. This designation acknowledged the geological significance of the karst region.
The park draws cave explorers and geologists who study the underground systems and karst formations. This scientific focus has made the area important for understanding limestone landscapes.
The town of Rožňava serves as the main entry point for hiking and cave visits with varying difficulty levels. Wear sturdy shoes and layers since caves remain cool and paths can be uneven.
The Zádielska tiesňava canyon features a striking rock formation created over thousands of years by water flow. This natural formation shows the powerful erosion forces at work in the region.
