Tiesňavy

The reserve spans across a mountainous landscape with steep cliffs, dense forests, and diverse geological formations at an elevation of 600 meters.

The Tiesňavy national nature reserve was established in 1967 as part of Slovakia's initiative to protect valuable ecological areas in the Mała Fatra region.

The reserve represents a testament to Slovakia's commitment to environmental preservation, integrating scientific research with controlled public access to natural areas.

Visitors can access marked trails throughout the reserve, with designated entry points providing information about permitted activities and conservation guidelines.

The reserve contains specific karst formations that create specialized habitats for numerous plant and animal species native to the Carpathian mountain range.
