Easy trails in the Slovak Tatras – places you will fall in love with
Many people associate the Tatras with the usually crowded Giewont or Morskie Oko. Meanwhile, the Tatras also hide quiet places, visited by tourists occasionally. To enjoy the silence and close contact with nature, visit our southern neighbors the Slovaks to whom the vast majority of the Tatras belong. Caves, historic architecture, challenging as well as easy trails are the attractions that await tourists across our southern border. So, if you haven’t yet been to the Slovak Tatras, change that and we guarantee you won’t regret it!

The Slovak Tatras are divided into the Belian, High and Western Tatras. Unlike the Polish side, they are more desolate and wild. If you are planning to go to our southern neighbors in the Tatras, remember two fundamental rules. First, in case of an accident, the rescue operation carried by the HZS (Horská záchranná služba) is paid for. This is why it is so important that you carry proof of insurance.
The second important point – the Slovaks close the trails during winter and spring. From November 1 to June 15, for safety reasons, as well as to respect the local nature, most of the trails above the shelters are closed (however, during this time you can enjoy other attractions, of which Slovakia has many in store). To make it easier for you to organize your trip, we have selected some easy trails in the Slovak Tatras that we guarantee, you will fall in love with.
