Observe the cute ground squirrels and donkeys, an unforgettable experience.
Nestled amidst the serene Muránská plain, just beneath the watchful gaze of Murán Castle lies a sprawling meadow teeming with the playful antics of friendly ground squirrels. This vast colony stands as the crown jewel of Slovakia's wilderness, a testament to the harmonious coexistence between nature and humanity. Despite their innate shyness, these endearing creatures have embraced the presence of visitors, eagerly approaching to share in the delights of offered treats. Adding to the charm of this bucolic scene, donkeys amiably roam alongside their rodent companions.
Together with this amazing experience of meeting the ground squirrels, we will take you to High Tatras, one of the most popular hiking destinations in Slovakia, attracting thousands of tourists every year. In this tour, you will be able to see some of its main resorts and walk around a glacial lake in Strbske Pleso, surrounded by stunning natural beauty and making your adventure unforgettable.
To finish the tour we will visit Spiš Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which stands as a testament to the grandeur of medieval architecture and the rich history of the Spiš region in Slovakia. Within the castle walls, visitors can explore a wealth of historical artifacts and exhibits, delving into the castle's storied past and the lives of those who once called it home.
