About location

Podlesok occupies a wooded foothill valley on the northern edge of Slovak Paradise National Park in eastern Slovakia. The settlement near Hrabušice is one of the park’s principal visitor centres, with accommodation and recreation facilities below forested slopes. Open lawns and a compact service area give it a distinctly recreational character. The Hornád runs through the wider area, forming the park’s renowned gorge of rocky narrows, ladders and metal footbridges. Slovak Paradise became a national park in 1988, protecting a karst plateau shaped by ravines, waterfalls and limestone formations. Podlesok is a practical starting point for exploring this protected landscape on foot.

Beyond the city, the Hornád River crosses a region of wooded hills, farmland and karst terrain.

Country Slovakia

Slovakia is best known internationally for the High Tatras, whose granite summits form the country’s most celebrated mountain landscape. Gerlachovský štít, at 2,655 metres, is the highest peak in Slovakia and in the Carpathians. The Danube runs past Bratislava, where Bratislava Castle stands on a hill above the river, linking the capital to Central Europe’s major waterway. Beyond the cities, forests, karst terrain and small historic towns define much of the country. Slovakia’s long folk tradition is also represented by the fujara, a large shepherd’s flute recognised by UNESCO.
