Slovak Paradise National Park, 1 day hiking in Sucha Bela gorge

Throughout the beautiful Slovak Paradise National Park, there is an abundance of amazing things to see and spots to visit. One such spot is the sensational Sucha Bela gorge, will be the focus of this full day hiking tour.

Starting at Spisska Nova Ves, Poprad or Podlesok, we will hike for approximately 2 hours within the Sucha Bela gorge to the Slovak Paradise ridge. This opening stretch of the trip is incredibly scenic. It is also secured by metal ladders, chains along with wooden and metal steps. This definitely gives the hike an adventurous feeling!

The next portion of the trek will follow a gentle path that will lead us to Klaštorisko. Here you will get to admire the ruins of a medieval monastery, while taking a brief rest. From this point you will have some options as to how you would like to conclude the hike. You can trek down deeper into the Sucha Bela gorge, which will take about 40 minutes, to the Hornad river and hike for approximately 2 hours back to Podlesok. Or, you can use a mountain bike for some enjoyable downhill biking. The choice is entirely up to you. The total time of this trip is approximately 5-7 hours, depending on which concluding option you choose.

Though this trek is not very technical, it is important that participants are in good physical condition.

Also, you can enjoy this hike both during the summer and the winter and you will discover different sceneries. In the winter, it is necessary to have some experience in winter hiking and to wear special equipment.
