ABOUT TOUR

 

Malý Rozsutec is one of the most iconic mountains in the Orava region, known for its uniquely shaped cliffs. Standing at 1,343 meters, it offers breathtaking views and is a popular destination for hikers in Malá Fatra National Park. The trail to the summit includes ladders and chains, making it an exciting adventure for more experienced hikers. However, if you’re not feeling confident or well-prepared, you can choose to skip the final ascent and take an easier route back down.

 

 

Jánošíkove Diery is a stunning system of gorges and canyons nestled in the Malá Fatra mountains of Slovakia. The trail takes you through narrow rock passages, over wooden bridges, and up ladders alongside cascading waterfalls—offering breathtaking views and a touch of adventure. Suitable for most fitness levels, the hike is well-marked and rewarding. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes and bring a camera—you’ll want to capture the beauty of this magical place, named after the Slovak folk hero Juraj Jánošík, who is said to have roamed these very trails with his stolen treasures.
