Manínska Gorge, National nature reserve in Považská Bystrica, Slovakia.
The limestone walls of Manínska Gorge rise dramatically along a one-kilometer path, creating a passage that narrows to just 4 meters at its tightest point.
The natural formation received its protected status as a national nature reserve on April 25, 1967, with additional conservation measures implemented in 2004.
Local communities maintain traditional hiking routes through the gorge, connecting visitors with the natural heritage of the Súľov Mountains region.
The reserve contains marked trails suitable for walking and climbing, while a paved road allows buses to pass through the narrow canyon.
Scientists have documented over 530 plant species within the reserve, establishing it as one of Slovakia's most concentrated areas of botanical diversity.
