2/10/2016 Trip to Slovak Paradise

 

Do you know where you can find yourself after „White Night/Nuit Blanche“ event in Košice? You can be in paradise! No, there´s no magic power of this festival of contemporary art. We´ve just decided to go on a hiking trip to Slovak National Park called Slovak Paradise.

We took train from Košice to Spišské Tomášovce, where our adventure began. Around 50 Erasmus students had opportunity to realize that road to the paradise is not easy. There was difficult terrain and we had to cope with ladders, bridges or step-plates...but we did it! 

Our first stop was „Tomašovský výhľad“ (Tomašovský view) where we enjoyed breathtaking and magnificient view from the rock leaning over forrest. Further, we continued to Hornád Canyon, Monastery Gorge and our final destination was „Kláštorisko“ with ruins of a Carthusian monastery. We were surrounded by beautiful nature, laying on the grass, relaxing and enjoying perfect weather. We would have been able to stay there for one more hour, but we had to catch the train back to Košice. Way down wasn´t so difficult and after few hours we were sitting in the train again.

We were little bit tired but same time very happy that we explored other next small piece of beautiful Slovak nature!​...All the Erasmus students agreed that Slovak Paradise is really „Paradise on Earth“ and its name fits him well.
