Adrenaline, fun and sport Dobšiná

A continuous layer of snow or sub-zero temperatures are a clear sign that you should head to the village of Rejdová, where you can treat yourself to a truly unconventional adrenaline experience. You don't even have to be sports-oriented to visit the local ski resort. The promised experience isn't skis or a snowboard, but a snowmobile. This exact means of transport will allow you to experience an indescribable adventure on the snow.

Riding snowmobiles in the village of Rejdová is interesting precisely because of the combination of active rest, relaxation, and fun. The village of Rejdová, located in the Rožňava district, provides the opportunity to enjoy the longest groomed trails for snowmobiles. Depending on difficulty, you can choose whether to take a trail for beginners or, as an experienced rider, clear your body and mind on more challenging routes. During the ride, you can enjoy the breathtaking natural scenery of pristine nature and even refresh yourself at checkpoint points if needed.

The length of the route depends on your abilities. Some have a length of 10 km, others up to 65 km. In total, completing them takes from half an hour to six and a half hours. Children can also ride smaller snowmobiles in a marked circular area. An interesting feature of this attraction is the evening and night rides, which have their own magical atmosphere. Also thanks to the total number of snowmobiles, many companies choose this type of experience as one of their teambuilding forms.

As part of a special offer, the company also provides transport for hikers to mountain huts, material transport, and assistance in organizing hiking and sports events. You can also choose a tour of forest stands during winter calamities specifically on snowmobiles or various other activities in connection with snowmobiles. Rest assured that this experience will always evoke beautiful feelings in you and you will remember it with a smile on your face for the rest of your life.

If you prefer active movement, right in the Ski Rejdová resort you can use groomed slopes. During snowplowing or fast riding, you can notice the untouched nature in the resort and its surroundings.

Beautiful walks with taking breathtaking shots will be possible if you choose Grófska ľadovňa in Vlachovo as your destination. Even in winter, horseback riding is available at Ranč pod Ostrou skalou.

After riding, it is good to warm up for a moment. Best in the bed of your pre-booked accommodation near snežné skútre Rejdová. Here you will warm your body and gain new strength for the coming days.

Where the past of Spiš meets art

Are you looking for a place where the story of the land meets human creativity and legends of ancient giants? Would you like to be surrounded by the raw beauty of a former mining quarry, where the wealth of the earth was once extracted, but today you will find peace surrounded by art?

In the village of Hnilčík in the Spiš region, you will come across the Obri v raji area, which was created by the reclamation of an industrial space. Today, instead of mining machinery, you will discover an open-air gallery where geological rock layers are complemented by installations inspired by the local mining past. The project connects history with a new vision of land use and invites you to discover the nooks and crannies of this area at your own pace.

What will you find here?

In the area, you will see a collection of sculptures and objects made from natural materials that recall the mining tradition and the ancient legend of giants. You can walk along marked paths leading through the rugged terrain of the quarry, while a playground awaits children. The space is adapted for cyclists, and during the winter months, it serves as a base for winter activities.

Who is this place suitable for?

The place is suitable for families with children, tourists, cyclists, and dog owners who seek an unconventional connection between nature and industrial history. Due to the rugged surface of the quarry, we recommend suitable footwear. Parking is possible near the designated areas.

What can you visit in the surroundings?

In the wider surroundings, you will discover the town of Spišská Nová Ves, which serves as an entrance gate to the Národný park Slovenský raj. History lovers may head to Spišský hrad.

Entry to the ferrata is only possible with ferrata equipment. For many years, this place was undiscovered also because the gorge was devastated by a fire more than 40 years ago.

Know that all of it will come in handy. If you lack any item, there are many places in the area to rent equipment.

The cruise itself lasts approximately 3 hours, depending on your skills and the number of stops you make.

Shortly after the start, you will sail in boats or rafts to the Trebejovská perej rapid. It is not technically demanding to pass through, but you will certainly enjoy riding its waves.
