Eight reasons to visit Slovakia.
1. Slovakia is the Central European country, which is bordered on the west
by Czech Republic and Austria, on the east by Ukraine, on the south by Hungary.
In spite of 70 years union with Czech Republic, Slovakia formed its special
image in culture and policy. The culture of Slovakia is rich and full of folk
traditions.
2. Slovakia created the best conditions for skiing in the east of Europe.
There are two main mountains — the Low and High Tatras.
3. Slovakia has more than one thousand three hundred mineral medical
springs. That's why Slovakia has the status of international healing resorts,
where people can treat such diseases as musculoskeletal system, digestive
system, allergic diseases etc. The most famous resorts are Piestany, Rajecke Teplice
Smrdaky, Bardejovske.
4. Caves. The conservation area, which is famous for 3 caves occupied the
territory of three thousand square km. Ohtinskaya is a unique aragonite cave,
which is popular among tourists.

by ponds, crystal clear rivers and beautiful waterfalls. There are more than
two hundred tourists’ centers in the Slovak Republic. You may be able to cross

monuments. Forts and castles are scattered across the country. The most famous
