As the symbol of Slovak, mountains are considered spectacular Mt. Kriváň, 2494 meters (8182 ft).

National Park of Tatras is home to mountain goats, eagles, brown bears, lynxes, and wolves. Our guide will have a binocular, so with a little bit of luck, we might spot some animals in the distance. The group size is 4 to 8 people. We want to keep it as a Small Hiking Group.
