Action-packed activity holiday in the Western Tatra Mountains of Slovakia combined with the culture of Prague. Your holiday begins in the beautifully preserved city of Prague which has a wealth of sights to see and discover; Wenceslas Square, The Charles Bridge and a maze of medieval alleyways and courtyards. After a full day's exploration you catch the overnight sleeper train to Slovakia, waking the next morning in the Western Tatras, which hold some of the highest peaks and most spectacular scenery in the range.
From your base in Zuberec you'll set out on a different adventure each day: hiking along mountain trails, cycling, rafting on the River Orava, trying your hand at traditional crafts and taking a carriage ride into the mountains. You'll learn about the way of life in Slovakia over a meal with a local family, visit the imposing Oravsky Castle and delightful Demanovska Cave. You'll also follow in the footsteps of Juraj Janosik - the 'Robin Hood' of Slovakia. There's plenty of time to relax on your holiday too - either by a mountain waterfall or in a steaming thermal pool.
