Overview
Slovakia is an outdoor lover's paradise, with its miles of walking trails, mountains and lakes.
On our tour we visit the country's Belianske Tatras Mountains, home to Tatras chamois, black woodpeckers and brown bears, and enjoy hikes through the spectacular scenery. Other outdoor activities include rafting in Pieniny National Park, and walks in Slovakia's Spiš region, which grew rich on the trade that once plied the routes through the High Tatras during the 14th and 15th centuries. ...

In churches and cathedrals women should cover their heads with a scarf or hat, while men should take their hats off.
