It’s located in the northern region of Slovakia, and its highest peak is Gerlach mount that stands like a great monument of nature.
The Slovak Paradise National Park of Slovakia
Slovak Paradise is another marvel of Slovakian nature. This national park of Slovakia is filled with narrow canyons, waterfalls, gorges, deep caverns, and twisting paths.

The Hornad river of Slovakia is thousands of years old and has hewn the natural canyon of Prielom Hordnadu. It’s possible to raft down its white waters, if you’re really into adventure.
