Slovak Paradise National Park, National park in eastern Slovakia
The national park extends over 328 square kilometers of limestone terrain with deep gorges, waterfalls, underground caves, and dense spruce forests.
The area received protected status in 1964 and was elevated to national park designation in 1988, making it one of Slovakia's newest national parks.
The park features numerous marked hiking routes through ravines named after regional pioneers, including the Róthova roklina gorge dedicated to tourism developer Martin Róth.
The network of hiking trails spans 300 kilometers and includes metal ladders, chains, and bridges to help visitors navigate through narrow canyons and steep passages.
The Dobšinská Ice Cave within the park maintains permanent ice formations throughout the year and ranks among the largest ice caves in Europe.
