The first stop after you cross (only on foot since it's inside the strictly protected Pieniny National Park in both Poland and Slovakia) the Polish-Slovakian border is this little welcome center Chata.
VE¼KÁ FATRA mountains. More bears than human beings. That's reality. But don't be afraid, the animals usually avoid the mared pathes. Good points for reaching the top range of mountains are Staré Hory (the bus station between B. Bystrica and Ružomberok), Liptovské Revúce (from Ružomberok) and villages near Turèianske Teplice (Blatnica, Necpaly, Belá-Dulice). The first picture on this page is from these mountains. You can sleep down in the villages or in soma challets or old wooden buildings (salaše) directly on the top range and try to drink fresh milk.
If you want to see the play of colours, try to visit Bešeòová. Microorganisms help to change water into the stone (travertine). There is a thermal bath pool and small castle in the village too. Bešeòová is near Liptovský Mikuláš and Ružomberok (northern Slovakia)
If you like going to museums visit the Tatra National Park Museum.It is located in Tatranská Lomnica.I think a lot of tourists miss it.I also missed it.Instead of the museum go to ZDIAR which is a lovely village in the eastern part of the Tatra nearby the polish border.

Demanovska L'adova Jaskyna The Demanova Ice Cave One of the Earliest caves in Central Europe is concealed in the colorful Demanova valley on the northern side of The Low Tatras in a steep cliff on the right bank of the Demanovska brook. Entrance to the cave is on the western slope of the cliff at a height of 870 m a.s.l. - 90 m above the present Demanovka valley. When it was discovered and by whom, is not known. The beauty of underworld caves attracts thousands of people - unique colorful stalactites and stalagmites, the numerous primate signatures on the lime stone walls - really worth visiting. On the total length of 1665 m, 680 m accessible to public. The sight-seeing tour takes about 45 minutes. and be prepared - inside the cave is very cold, minus temperature, no matter how hot is outside!
We have visited a termal swimming-poll near the mountains in a village 'Besenova' (near Liptovsky Mikulas). It is coulded from 80 celsius (in the spring) to some 40 celsius (in the pool) and it is really great for relaxing.
The High Tatra Mountains. A large parts of the country are national parks, and there are so many beautiful natural and man made things to see, I urge you to get a tour company or guide to at least set up an intinerary to see these incredilbe places.
Driving along the narrow roads of Slovakia, youwill appreciate many old trucks, cars and moresimilar vehicles from the old U.S.S.R. army. Theyare a prove of the important political change inthe last years in the Eastern Europe.Perhaps thinks are changing slower than most peoplewant, but they are changing.......
