Over 40% of Slovakia is covered by forests,
a greater proportion than in Switzerland and Norway or any other European country.
In the most remote north-east region
in the foothills of the High Tatra mountains there are still some
wolves, bears and eagles.
These large wild animals survive there due to the unspoilt nature, the habitat capable of
supporting the whole food chain; wild flowers, butterflies, birds, etc.
This is an ideal place for
walking and
biking holidays,
bird watching holidays,
fishing holidays,
nature and wildlife photography.

Villages in this remote region are tranquil
places with a very slow pace of life, still using
horses
for
farming.
Over the last century most farmhouses have been rebuilt using bricks,
replacing the more traditional wood.
However, in the village where the cottages are, the
traditional log-cabin-style cottages
are still predominant.
The cottages are traditional but provide a
good standard of accommodation.

There is much more to Slovakia
than just the forests, nature and wildlife.
There are
historic towns
and
medieval castles
that are on the UNESCO World Heritage list, famous
spas,
once frequented by European royalty, with open-air classical concerts, live folk music,
leisure centres,
tennis courts, golf, indoor and outdoor
swimming pools,
canoeing,
white-water rafting,
etc. We also run
painting courses
and
photography courses.
