One of the best bike parks in Slovakia, Bike Park Malinô Brdo, can be found in the Liptov region. The paradise for mountain biking adrenaline lovers lies in the setting of the picturesque nature of the Veľká Fatra, in the tourist-popular Hrabovská dolina valley, near the district town of Ružomberok. In the summer season, the well-known ski resort transforms into a sports complex where bikers of various skill levels meet. Professionals as well as complete beginners will enjoy themselves here. You just need to choose the right track, get on your bike, and you can enjoy a true adrenaline adventure.

Bike Park Malinô Brdo has been open to the public since 2009. It offers its visitors a choice of ten trails across four difficulty levels. Will you test your skills at the start on a low-difficulty green trail, or will you dare to head straight for an advanced blue trail? For the best riders, high-difficulty red trails are prepared, and pro bikers will find what they love on the very high-difficulty black trails. In total, up to 10 km of trails are available to visitors. The most complex one is approximately 2.2 km long and overcomes an elevation difference of 400 m.

If you dare to test your skills in the bike park, but not your own bicycle, do not despair. In the cable car station, you will find a rental shop and a store for brand-name bicycles and equipment. If you do not completely get along with a bicycle, you might prefer a ride on a mountain scooter or a mountain cart. In Bike Park Malinô Brdo, these means of transport are very popular and have special tracks prepared for them. The cable car will comfortably transport you and your equipment to the start of your adventurous ride.

If you are not interested in pumping adrenaline, but prefer a relaxing bike ride surrounded by beautiful nature, they will gladly welcome you to the Liptov bike park. Attractive cycling routes for MTB bikes are prepared in the surroundings of the resort, making this place a popular location not only for adrenaline athletes, but also for families with children and active seniors. Or do you prefer discovering the beauty of Slovak nature on your own two feet? Even in this case, do not miss a visit to Bike Park Malinô Brdo. The surroundings offer a number of hiking trails that will guide you through the beauty of the picturesque Veľká Fatra.

Whether you decide to explore Malinô Brdo from the seat of a bicycle, a scooter, a mountain cart, or on foot, you should certainly not miss out on the local bike park. You can combine a trip here with an adventure at Lanový park Tarzania Hrabovo or with an excursion to nearby Obrovo in the Čutkovská dolina valley. If, after an adrenaline ride, you feel more like a relaxing walk with a breath of history, be sure to visit the nearby Skanzen Vlkolínec. The options for spending pleasant time in this region are truly broad, as is the range of accommodation options near Bike Park Malinô Brdo. Young athletes will certainly appreciate accommodation in Hrabovo offering private cabins and cottages. Families with children, on the other hand, prefer accommodation in Ružomberok with a selection of comfortable guesthouses and good accessibility.

It may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie to you, but the opposite is true. Letting loose on an adrenaline-pumping tank ride in the village of Podbiel is amazing. This village in Orava will win you over precisely because of this experience. We recommend coming as a larger group, two families with children or a group of friends.

Getting carried away on an armored personnel carrier of an infantry fighting vehicle is great. Put simply, you ride a tank. Every enthusiast seeking something unconventional will be thrilled. Right before boarding the ride, you will receive a brief briefing and off you go. This 13-ton vehicle, 7 meters in length and reaching a maximum speed of 65 km/h, will captivate you. Streams, forest, demanding and rugged terrain…

Can't imagine it? No problem, book your first ride during the summer holidays. A minimum of 8, a maximum of 20 passengers, and a total ride of 3 kilometers. The attraction is thus suitable for team building, or as part of one of the activities during a stay in Northern Slovakia. You will see what joy you bring yourself with this experience. Even several years later, you will remember how you held on tightly with your hands to the metal armored vehicle.

An interesting thing about the ride is that for an unforgettable experience, it is good to choose the right spot. Inside the tank, metal tubes, grab bars, are installed across 5 sections. Children under one meter tall board the first section. This is for their better view thanks to an installed bench. In the second section, larger children and pregnant women are placed. The third section is laid-back. In the fourth and fifth sections, it feels like a party full of dancing.

We believe that this ride will entertain you and that you will feel like exploring Podbiel from its other sides as well. Consider the possibility of finding accommodation near the tank ride or in its surroundings. A somewhat less demanding activity is a walk through the complex of original folk architecture, Pamiatková rezervácia Bobrova raľa or raft logging on wooden rafts. We recommend booking accommodation in Podbiel well in advance; after all, traditional Podbielske drevenice cottages are very popular.

Love an adrenaline rush? Then Hurricane Factory Tatralandia is just the right thing for you. Experience a safe freefall and flying in a wind tunnel. The airspeed here reaches up to 270 km/h. Under the supervision of experienced instructors, both you and your children can try indoor skydiving.

You will find the Hurricane Factory freefall simulator right next to Aquapark Tatralandia near the town of Liptovský Mikuláš. Architecturally striking, yet low-profile building conceals an adrenaline-pumping attraction inside. The tunnel has a height of 14 metres. However, most of it is embedded deep underground. Only the glass section is visible, where you can watch beginner flyers or professional skydivers who use the flight chamber for training.

The Hurricane Factory Tatralandia wind tunnel offers not only fun flying, but also tunnel flying training for beginners and advanced flyers alike. World championships and Slovak championships in tunnel flying are organized here. Together with its sister branch Hurricane Factory Praha, these wind tunnels are among the most visited in Europe. Before your visit, it is necessary to purchase a voucher or book your flight in advance.

If you have a healthy respect for flying, you can come here just to watch the skydivers. Have a comfortable seat in the bar, which is part of the building. Sitting down over a coffee or a drink is enjoyed here not only by the participants of this attraction. In the summer, a terrace is available as well. A relaxed atmosphere reigns here, and at any time of the year, you will experience something extraordinary.

If the adrenaline is still not enough for you, you can also try a skydiving jump from an airplane at the nearby Letisko Gôtovany airport. Here you can also take a parachuting course. Paragliding, a tandem jump or a paragliding course, will be offered to you at the Chopok Jasná resort. If you would prefer to try flying with a pilot, we recommend a sightseeing helicopter flight from Heliport Liptov. Fun in Liptov is endless. All you have to do is choose. Come spend your holiday here, and we will find you accommodation near Hurricane Factory Tatralandia.

Stop for a moment in a reality that will literally turn you upside down! The Dom hore nohami in Liptovský Mikuláš is an original attraction that is guaranteed to entertain both young and old.

What awaits you inside the Dom hore nohami?

Inside the house you will find everything “ordinary”. A kitchen, dining table, bathroom, and children's room, but in reverse. Everything is attached to the ceiling, and on top of that, the entire house is tilted in two planes. The result is a truly unique experience that will thoroughly test your balance. The youngest visitors will be pleased by fairy-tale characters such as Snow White, the dwarfs, Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf, or Mickey Mouse. The attraction is not large, but thanks to its originality and visual effect, it is one of the most popular "Instagram" spots in the region and you certainly should not miss it during your travels through Liptov.

Visitor information

This original and playful attraction is an ideal choice for families with children, couples, groups of friends, or school trips looking for an unusual experience and fun snapshots for joint photos. The tour itself takes about 20 to 30 minutes and is physically undemanding, although due to the sloped floors and optical illusions, people more sensitive to balance changes may experience mild dizziness. Due to its specific construction and tilted interior, however, the place is not barrier-free, meaning that entry is not suitable for visitors with reduced mobility and movement with a wheelchair or baby stroller is not possible, and entry with a dog is also not recommended due to the nature of the space.

Access, services, and surroundings

The Dom hore nohami is located by the main road in Liptovský Mikuláš, just a few minutes from the well-known water park. Access is easy both by car and on foot, and there is a parking lot (paid) in the surrounding area.

If you are planning a trip to Liptov and looking for something unconventional, the Dom hore nohami should definitely not be missing in your itinerary.

You will weave your way out of the circular maze in approximately 30 minutes, just like most visitors. However, if you regularly look for your car in department store parking lots, set aside more time for visiting Labyrinth. Yet there is no need to worry. If you do not find your way out even within two hours, the system will alert the staff and they will locate you.

Legend says that the first labyrinth was built by the legendary Daedalus for King Minos. The task of the stone structure with intricate corridors and staircases was to contain the terrible Minotaur.
