Slovakia

Slovakia is one of the youngest states in Europe. The capital, Bratislava, is a small and attractive city with an intense cultural life; The High Tatras are the same here as any other mountains in Eastern Europe, and in the villages of Slovakia the peasant traditions are still strong. Slovakia – this is an unusually clean air and healing springs, ice caves, comfortable hotels and cozy boarding houses, unique cultural and historical monuments, interesting castles, castles, manors, peculiar architecture, as well as folk art and folklore. Slovaks are very friendly to the tourists, and they are always ready to help you better know their country.

It borders with the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria. There is no exit to the sea. Most of the country is mountainous (the highest point of the country is Genachowski-Shtit, 2655 m). One-third of the country is occupied by the fertile South Slovak and East-Slovak lowlands in the southeast and the Danube lowland east of Bratislava.
