Hiking and biking trails Spiš

Prielom Hornádu is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Národný park Slovenský raj. It is located in the Košický kraj region in the Spišská Nová Ves district. The route is interwoven with numerous ladders, bridges, footbridges, and chains, so do not forget to wear sturdy footwear. If you are at least a slightly fit hiker, the adventure can begin.

Starting points for you can be the villages of Smižany, Čingov, Spišské Tomášovce, Hrabušice, Letanovce, or Podlesok. In 1964, Prielom Hornádu was declared a National Nature Reserve, and rightly so. The trail is 16 km long and here you will find exceptional fauna and flora, natural scenery, and geomorphological phenomena. Information boards are available to you. Kaňon Hornádu is in some places only a few meters wide. However, the elevation gain you tackle here is over 300 meters. Truly an adrenaline-pumping attraction.

Definitely do not bring very young children here and do not come if you are afraid of heights. On the contrary, if you have courage and good physical condition, Prielom Hornádu is the right choice for a trip for you. If you set off from the village of Podlesok, you will come across several benches for resting or a spring with drinking water. The hiking trail will lead you through diverse sections with beautiful waterfalls. Perhaps the most beautiful is Obrovský vodopád, which reaches a height of up to 60 meters.

Prielom Hornádu is accessible all year round. In winter, however, the water freezes in some places. The ladders and footbridges are slippery, so you need to be careful during the ascent. In the summer months, boating on the Hornád river is popular. However, you can only navigate in small watercraft. Rafting is not permitted.
