Introducing Slovenský Raj
Rumbling waterfalls, steep gorges, sheer rockfaces, thick forests and hilltop meadows: Slovenský raj (Slovak Paradise; www.slovenskyraj.sk; admission 20Sk) is a national park for the passionately outdoorsy. Easier trails exist, but the one-way, ladder- and chain-assist ascents are the most dramatic. You cling to a metal rung headed straight up a precipice while an icy waterfall splashes and sprays a metre away, that’s after you’ve scrambled horizontally across a log ladder to cross the stream down below. Pure exhilaration.
