Arrival in Terchova located in the Mala Fatra national park, one of the most beautiful areas of Slovakia. Terchova is also the native village of the legendary hero Juraj Janosik, Slovakia’s own Robin Hood.
Day 2:
Walking in the Mala Fatra national park. There are a variety of routes available ranging from easy to fairly challenging. It is possible to take a chair lift to the Snilovske saddle and then enjoy the long descent but only after enjoying the panoramic views of the close and distant mountain ranges of Slovakia. Back to Terchova for the night.
Day 3:
Another day to explore more paths in the Mala Fatra area. Terchova’s situation makes possible trips to the north and north west towards the area of the Kysucka vrchovina mountains as well. You are spoilt for choice. Then back to Terchova for the final time.

Today you have a choice of walks within the Slovak Paradise again ranging from relatively easy to quite demanding.

It passes through a large mountain meadow of Biksova luka below the forested slopes of the Matka Bozia mountain.
Day 6:
Another day to choose a route through the Slovak Paradise. One option would be to take a taxi to Podlesok to be able to walk through the Sucha Bela gorge.
