Zádielska tiesňava, Nature reserve in Slovak Karst, Slovakia.
The Zadiel Canyon extends for 3 kilometers through limestone cliffs, featuring numerous caves and waterfalls formed by the Chotarny stream.
The Slovak government established Zadielska tiesnava as a protected nature reserve in 1954 to preserve its geological formations and natural diversity.
Local hiking trails connect several traditional Slovak villages, allowing visitors to experience regional customs and mountain community lifestyles.
The canyon remains accessible throughout the year, with marked paths starting from the village of Turna nad Bodvou and extending through the reserve.
The Zadiel Gate section narrows to just 10 meters wide, making it the most confined natural passage in the entire Slovak Karst region.
