Adventure Hiking in Slovakia in a Weekend

This was our second trip with Much Better Adventures and again was fantastic. A great tour company. Slovakia was a beautiful country and the routes we took led to some spectacular views. The ladder climbs weren't challenging and very easy to climb. The guides were great fun.

The town we were based in was very quiet- with the small number of bars closing early so we had early nights. Hotel was great with huge rooms.

The hike is on the challenging side for less athletic individuals and there were sections of the trail that were quite slippery and difficult to pass, even in dry weather. The guides were great at helping participants over the challenging spots, and overall I thought the tour was fantastic. The guides were also very friendly and had lots of suggestions for places to eat and other things to do in the area.

This was my first adventure trip with Much Better Adventures! It was such a magical and adrenaline inducing hike in the beautiful Slovakia National Park. We were blessed with amazing weather and fairy-tale like colours. Our guides, Patrik and Michal, were super helpful and chill. My highlight of the trip was the 14M tall ladder and 'Indiana Jones' type of bridges and walkways along the cliffs! I'm already looking at other mba adventures and planning my 2025 trips!

Great group, knowledgeable and helpful guides - couldn't have improved on anything - even the weather was superb ....came home and immediately started planning next years adventures. Thank you Patrick and Mikel

A hugely enjoyable 3 days hiking around the beautiful forests of Slovakia. We were extremely lucky with the weather and enjoyed the stunning views, sunshine and colours that the Autumn landscape had to offer.Our main guide Patrick was brilliant, very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. The ladders and routes were The hotel was super comfortable and everything was very well organised. We were catered for very, very well. All transport was also comfortable, easy and well managed.

excellent guides lovey scenery pleasure to holiday with made lots new friends (as we had large group ) went weekend of Oct 17th 2024 will use again as now looking for our next adventure.

Our amazing guides (Patrik and Michel) put so much effort into making sure we had fun. Everything went so smoothly from pick up at the airport to drop off at the end of our adventure. Nothing was a problem and all abilities were accommodated. I don’t really have a head for heights and wanted to challenge myself and with the encouragement of the group and some determination I managed the ladders and felt safe at all times. The safety briefings were pitched just right.. but read the trip notes to make sure you are able for and comfortable with the challenges. We had amazing weather which made the weekend very special. The hotel was great and provided a great selection of breakfasts and loads for vegetarians too. The start and finish were perfect. Just the right amount of free time. The group was managed ( but it never felt like we were actively managed) like clockwork… no hiccups, everyone found what they needed from the local bakery, shops, banks… everything was considered.

This trip under promised and over delivered. I will be back!!

We loved the hiking up the river with all the ladders and platforms! And the beautiful autumn colors of the forest in the crisp air and sunlight of the clear blue sky was stunning. Great food at the hotel too. And the thermal baths were perfect to relax after the hikes.

We had an amazing weekend with Patrick, our very knowledgeable guide for the weekend. He made it really fun and the scenery is outstanding. Hotel was simple, but clean and welcoming and had fabulous food. The town is lovely, feels very non touristy and the local restaurants and bars are cosy and great value. All in all, a great trip, worth every penny and would highly recommend

Patrick was a brilliant guide - knowledgeable and good energy. The photos don’t do this trip justice. Do it!

I loved this trip it was a fantastic mix of incredible scenery, amazing activities and great company. Our guides Jan and Roman were fab! They gave us all a warm welcome and looked after us brilliantly throughout the trip sharing their knowledge and passion for the local area whilst managing to set a pace that worked well for the group. I’d 100% recommend this trip, it was a great escape in a breathtakingly beautiful part of the world ☺️.
