Janosikove Diery Gorge is one of the most beautiful hiking trails not only within National Park Mala Fatra, but the whole Slovakia and Central Europe. It is located in nature reservation Rozsutce and the valley river is forming numerous waterfalls and rocky formations. The hiking in this valley is possible via imposant wooden bridges and ladders.

Janosikove Diery is very beautiful and dangerous place in Slovakia. You have to be prepared. Dont mind others walking around in the sport shoes, because there are more than one way to discover this beautiful place. Keep in mind, its deep in the forests, so temperature is lower than everywhere else, plus constant humidity makes some places quite challenging. Proceed slowly and take your time (and breath). Gorgeous views are waiting for you. You can travel with small children if carried in the carriage. Some parts are accessible only via ladders and due to humidity, they are slippery. Think your way trough before start, get a map and pick the track you think you can conquer. Take as many charged batteries for your camera and video camera as you can carry. No regrets over 100+ photos and 20+ videos I made. Even if not recommended, I drank the water from the well. I live, so you will too.

9. Devin Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,811 reviews
Located a few miles west of Bratislava. Devín Castle ranks among the most important archeological sites in Central Europe. Located at the banks of the Danube, where once the Danube and Amber Roads intersected, it watches over the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. Archeological research proves the area was settled about 7000 years ago and has since then been populated by one group or another, almost without interruption until today. Already during prehistory, it was a fortified center of power. During the Roman period the first several brick buildings were erected here. The first written source on Devín dates back to 864 and mentions a “Dowina Castle”. The Great Moravian period saw the erection of a church with colorful interior wall painting on castle grounds. Throughout the Middle Ages the Castle was an important border fortress, often passing from one noble family to another. In 1809 the Castle was intentionally demolished using explosives. In 1961 Devín Castle was declare

Devin Castle is a castle atop a hill at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. Inside the castle is a sprawling landscape of gardens, pastures, fortification walls, staircases and courtyards in varying states of repair and disrepair. The climb up to the top of the tower and throughout the castle is perfectly safe though. Some of the castle ground buildings have been renovated and contain excellent exhibits of history of castle as well as a quick run through the history of Moravia up to the fall of the iron curtain in Czechoslovakia. The elevated position of the castle over the ground be made it an ideal position for observing the trade routes on the river. Views of Danube and Moravia, especially at the confluence of the two rivers, and city below are stunning. Makes a great half day visit from Bratislava.

St. Elizabeth's Cathedral claim to fame is that it is the furthest east western-style Gothic cathedral in Europe, as well as the biggest church of worship in Slovakia. The church is free and there are volunteers who will give a guided tour. The main alter is dedicated to St Elizabeth, also check out the internal spiral staircase and the relief of Sára Salkaház who saved 100 Jews during World War 2, and Sv. Charbel Makhlouf is known as a hermit from Annaya who has been credited with miracles.
