Where to go on a trip Letanovce

Beneath the Tatra peaks, there is a wealth of beautiful places, hiking trails, and historical landmarks. But in Poprad, you will find something extra. A great water park called Aqua City Poprad.

Aqua City Poprad is the perfect place for everyone who loves water and wants to enjoy undisturbed relaxation. This complex contains several outdoor and indoor thermal water pools, for which many are willing to travel hundreds of kilometers. The water is supplied directly from a natural geothermal source. It has a pleasant temperature and, thanks to its high mineral content, undoubtedly has beneficial effects on your body.

Although Aqua City is inherently associated with spending time in the water, many "land-based" activities are also prepared. In the fitness and cardio center, you have the opportunity to work on your physical fitness with the help of top-notch equipment. With friends, you will certainly love the beach soccer and volleyball courts and a number of other activities that are suitable for families, groups of friends, and corporate events.

After a "challenging" day in the pools and on the sports grounds, visitors like to treat themselves to a pleasant massage or a stay in the increasingly popular cryo-chamber. A steam sauna and an attractive option to visit the vital world are also available.

At Aqua City Poprad, families with children will also enjoy great fun. Especially for your little ones, there are children's pools, slides, water slides, a climbing castle, painting corners, and various other attractions. There is also a classic playground full of jungle gyms, trampolines, swings, and kind entertainers, with whom your children will have a lot of fun in the summer.

If you want to spend more days at the resort, you do not have to worry about accommodation. Several guesthouses and hotels are located in the immediate vicinity of the complex. During your stay, you can also set off to the tourist-attractive district of Spišská Sobota. You will find several pleasant guesthouses there, but you can also rent a cottage or find a nice spot in private accommodation.

Aqua City Poprad is a true oasis of fun and peace. Come with the whole family! Your children will surely have their fill of fun, and you will rest like never before.

People knew about the healing effects of water enriched with various minerals as early as Ancient Rome. It is no wonder that the power of this source is still used today to help relax tired muscles, heal pain, and strengthen immunity. Geothermal water at the swimming pool is pumped from two boreholes – one from a depth of 1,742 m and the other from 2,502 m.

However, if you prefer muscle relaxation through the hands of skilled masseurs, you can choose from an offer of Thai massages.

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.

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.

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. The surroundings of the village of Hnilčík offer diverse possibilities for cyclists thanks to a network of marked trails in the Volovské vrchy mountains, which are suitable for family trips as well as mountain bikes.

Národný park Slovenský raj is one of nine Slovak national parks and is considered one of the most beautiful. It stretches across the Banskobystrický kraj, Prešovský kraj, and Košický kraj regions, where it extends into the Spiš region. It is located within the territories of the Brezno, Poprad, Spišská Nová Ves, and Rožňava districts. The territory of Slovenský raj is a true paradise for hikers. Waterfalls, canyons, rocks, and breathtaking views—this is how our most visited national park could also be characterized.

NP Slovenský raj is a paradise for both animals and tourists

Slovenský raj was declared a national park in 1988. There are 11 national nature reserves and 8 nature reserves here. The park's territory lies in the north of the Slovenský Rudohorie mountains. Due to its fauna and flora, it has been included in the highest level of protection. Bears, wolves, foxes, and lynx live here, and even the Tatra chamois was artificially released here in 1963. Trout swim in the streams, and we can find various species of falcons as well as the golden eagle here.

The area of Národný park Slovenský raj is 19,414 hectares. Two rivers, the Hnilec and the Hornád, flow through the park, creating unique water phenomena—canyons, gorges, ravines, and waterfalls. The longest gorge is Prielom Hornádu, which was declared a national nature reserve as early as 1964. The section is 16 km long and belongs to the cadastre of the village of Letanovce. The trail is full of bridges, ladders, footbridges, and chains. Tourists from far and wide come to admire the wonderful scenery here.

The most visited gorge in Slovenský raj is Suchá Belá, through which a stream of the same name flows. You can reach it from the tourist center of Podlesok near the village of Hrabušice. The valley is interspersed with several waterfalls such as Misové vodopády, Korytový, or the beautiful Okienkový vodopád. With good hiking boots, even children can manage this undemanding and interesting hike.

Explore gorges, waterfalls, and the adrenaline-filled via ferrata

Národný park Slovenský raj also offers other gorges to explore. Klaštorská dolina is relatively short but popular with families with children. On the 1.5-kilometer route, you can admire Vodopád objaviteľov, Strakov vodopád, or Dúhový vodopád. Your starting point will be Kláštorisko, which is a ruin of a 13th-century Carthusian monastery. You will find a tourist center and a restaurant here. The entrance to this part of Slovenský raj is a rope bridge—a footbridge that was the first to be built when the gorge was opened to the public.

We also recommend visiting other nature reserves of Slovenský raj. In the Sokolia dolina gorge, which is the steepest valley in the park, you will find Závojový vodopád. With its height of 75 meters, it is the highest waterfall in Slovenský raj, and you can visit it from Tomášovská Belá. A no less famous gorge is Kyseľ, where the second largest waterfall in this park, Obrovský vodopád, is located. Adrenaline enthusiasts in the gorge will certainly be pleased by the Kyseľ Ferrata—a place where you can try rock climbing.

Other popular gorges include Piecky, Veľký Sokol, and Tiesňavy. The gorges in NP Slovenský raj require an entry fee but are open year-round. The weather, just like in the mountains, can be changeable here. Before your visit, always check the forecast and check the status of the hiking trails on the national park's website. Do not forget good, waterproof clothing or a raincoat. Due to its humidity, Slovenský raj resembles a primeval forest.

The most beautiful view and a magical ice cave await you

The most beautiful view in Slovenský raj will undoubtedly open up to you at Tomášovský výhľad. You can reach this rocky outcrop from the tourist center of Čingov or from the village of Smižany. Even seniors or families with children can handle the ascent to it. Of course, caution is advised. From an altitude of 667 m a.s.l., you will be able to see as far as the Vysoké Tatry mountains.

There is a large number of caves in Národný park Slovenský raj, most of which remain unexplored. Dobšinská ľadová jaskyňa, accessible from the village of Dobšiná, is open to the public. And as the name suggests, the cave is a magical realm of ice. So, if your children love Frozen, Elsa, Anna, or the snowman named Olaf, a visit to the cave will be an unforgettable experience for them.

If you are looking for a place in Slovenský raj to swim or laze about so that you can rest after a demanding hike, try the Klauzy water reservoir.
