Adrenaline, fun and sport Haligovce

People get a huge rush of adrenaline in their blood during various sports activities. One of them is rafting. You can experience this in the beautiful Prešov Region, in Červený Kláštor. The fantastic Rafting na Dunajci will definitely win you over.

The Dunajec forms the state border between Poland and Slovakia. It is among the cleanest rivers in Slovakia with the character of fast-flowing torrent water. Even a beginner can handle a ride on this inflatable boat. You certainly don't have to worry about drowning. In addition to the vessel, the equipment includes a life jacket and a paddle. This way, you partly dictate your own direction. The untamed water can be conquered especially during the summer months. You can board right in Červený Kláštor and set sail towards adventure on the Dunajec.

If you are interested, you can book a ride directly with an instructor. You might also enjoy their funny and engaging commentary. After all, who else could tell us more about the Pieninský národný park or other interesting attractions of the Pieniny? Water has fascinated people since time immemorial. When this fact is combined with the opportunity to enjoy the surrounding nature of the Pieniny, a perfect experience is created for you.

The route leads from Červený Kláštor and ends in the village of Lesnica. Not only families with children but also colleagues from work can enjoy the river rafting. You don't need to be an experienced raft and rafting enthusiast. All you need is courage and to enjoy a wonderful day.

If you feel that this ride, which lasts from 30 to 120 minutes (depending on your choice), has tired you out, book accommodation near Rafting na Dunajci. Whether you are a paddler or a demanding client, you will certainly enjoy this activity. You can take a taxi back or rent a bicycle. Walking enthusiasts can walk along the cycle path that leads back to the boarding station.

Červený Kláštor is sought after by tourists from Poland and other European countries. They are mainly interested in the breathtaking nature of the Pieninský národný park, which offers fantastic scenery. A slightly calmer option is rafting on the Dunajec on traditional wooden rafts. It is up to you which accommodation in Červený Kláštor you choose as your temporary home base to spend pleasant moments during these activities. Perhaps a cottage or chalet in Červený Kláštor or a room in a guesthouse in Červený Kláštor will catch your attention. You can find a selection of accommodation options on our portal.

Kráľovstvo lesa (Forest Kingdom) and new adventures for children

Families with children will also find their own enjoyment in the Kráľovstvo lesa Bachledka – an extensive natural children's zone full of interactive attractions and play elements. A novelty for 2025 is the newly opened observation tower directly in the playground area. On an area of almost 5,000 m², children and parents can try out a giant ram, a multi-level rope park, a mega-trampoline, or the fun Pokuston attraction.

Chodník korunami stromov (Treetop Walk) and new views

We recommend combining your visit to Kráľovstvo lesa with one of Bachledka's main attractions. It is the year-round open and fully barrier-free Chodník korunami stromov. It offers an unforgettable walk at height with panoramic views, educational stops, and an adrenaline-pumping dry slide that is 67 meters long.

The valley located on the border between Spišská Magura and the Belianske Tatry is one of the most popular recreational areas of our high mountains. Visitors from all over Slovakia come to Bachledova dolina for the intersection of natural beauty and attractions offering unique experiences. Such an attraction is undoubtedly the Bobová dráha v Bachledovej doline bobsled coaster, which is also the longest bobsled coaster in the Tatras. Enjoy a pleasant rush of adrenaline in your blood and the fresh mountain wind in your hair. There are not many places in Slovakia where you will experience such a combination.

The Bobová dráha v Bachledovej doline bobsled coaster is unique not only for the picturesque environment in which it is set, but also for its length. On a track that is an incredible 1,200 meters long, 15 turns and an elevation difference of 111 meters await you. Despite the adrenaline in your blood, you can feel completely safe. The bobsled ride is suitable for children from 9 years of age. Younger children can ride on a single bobsled with an adult. That is precisely why, in addition to adrenaline lovers, families with children come here, for whom the adrenaline experience is a pleasant addition to time spent in nature.

Are you curious how fast you can speed down the slopes of Bachledova dolina? You control the ride speed yourself using a lever on your bobsled. If you set off with real courage, you can reach up to 40 km/h, the speed of more cautious drivers in villages. The hourly transport capacity of the bobsled coaster is 200 people. Young adrenaline riders will surely enjoy the children's playground located in the immediate vicinity of the track.

Boarding the bobsled coaster is at the top station of the gondola cable car. Access here is directly from Bachledova dolina, a turnoff from the main road between Ždiar and Tatranská Kotlina, or from the village of Malá Franková.

Have you heard about the Ždiar legend? People in the village reportedly used to burn charcoal in the past. One of the charcoal burners built his cottage with a window through which the moonlight illuminated it. Others in the village liked it so much that they also built wooden cottages next to the charcoal burner and named the settlement after “Zor”, hence Ždiar. This station is also part of Family park Strachankovo.

After a day full of fun, you can fill your bellies at the local snack bar. If you decide to explore the surroundings further, rent an e-bike. The largest rental shop under the Tatras is located in the park.
