Slovak Paradise National Park, National park in eastern Slovakia
Slovak Paradise is a national park in eastern Slovakia with limestone formations that have shaped deep gorges, waterfalls, and underground caves. The area is covered by dense spruce forests and crossed by more than 300 kilometers of marked hiking trails.
The area received protected status in 1964 and became a national park in 1988, making it one of Slovakia's more recent protected sites. This status helped preserve the landscape for future generations.
The gorges and trails here carry names of people who shaped the region, such as Róthova roklina dedicated to a tourism pioneer. Visitors can feel this connection to local history as they walk through the landscape.
Many trails are equipped with metal ladders, chains, and suspension bridges to guide visitors through narrow gorges and steep passages. It is important to wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing conditions.
The Dobšinská Ice Cave maintains ice formations year-round and ranks among Europe's largest ice caves. This underground world is remarkable in its own way and draws visitors seeking to explore geological wonders.
