Slovenia is a small country with an enviable geographical position between the majestic Alps and the Mediterranean. Known as miniature Europe, Slovenia has spectacular mountains, lush forests and a small coastline.

For its part, Slovakia has a history closely tied to the fortunes of Central Europe’s kingdoms. The natural parks of the Carpathians are home to some of Europe’s most iconic wildlife: deer, lynx, bears and wolves. Bear in mind that there may be snow in the mountains in spring, and the weather can change quickly, even within a single day.

Is Slovakia a safe destination?

Slovakia is another European Union country that has suffered relatively little from coronavirus. The authorities' swift action as the pandemic spread in other European countries effectively contained its spread. With hygiene and social distancing measures similar to any European Union country, Slovakia has moved forward and is already preparing to welcome travellers.

In commemoration of the declaration of the first European national park in Sweden on 24 May 1909, the EUROPARC Federation, the network of national parks and other protected natural areas across Europe celebrate European Natural Parks Day.

This article takes us through the national parks we visit on our trips for mountain and nature lovers.
