SLOVAKIA ... Wild heart of Europe
Suchá dolina (The Dry valley) natural reservation - the valley divides Western Tatras mountains from Chočské vrchy ones and cuts deeply through the limestone slopes of Ostrá (1764m) and Holica (1340m) peaks. The main subject of the protection is virgin mountain forest with rare species of flora and wild animals such as wolf, lynx and brown bear. The valley is still not officially accessible for tourists. The lower part of the valley is linked by old paved road, but upper part is very wild and hard accessible, linked only by distinct animal paths.

Demänovská valley - Low Tatras mountains
This valley is the most famous and the most visited valley within the National Park Low Tatras. The lower part of the valley is narrow 700m deep canyon eroded in the limestones of Siná (1560m) and Pusté (1501m) peaks drained out by savage Demänovka river partially flowing in underground and forming more than 35km long cave system (Cave of Freedom and Ice cave are accessible for public). The upper part of the valley is different, wide and splited on two main branches ended on the granite Low Tatras main ridge surrounded by peaks as Chopok (2024m) or Dereše (2004m).
