SLOVAKIA ~ Slovak Paradise National Park ~

... Great new National Park... very popular amongst the Slovak national parks... nature-wise, this place is a real gem... pristine gorges, wild canyons, clean water, woodland, wildlife and beautiful views... renowned for its "Gorge Walks"... here are 300 km of marked trails over rugged canyons which you can cross climbing up ladders and holding on to the chains over dizzying heights, cascades and boulder-strewn stream beds... probably not for people with fear of heights o͜͡o... Thanks again Laco!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
