[Ubertino de Casale]

As I find Slovakia to be among one of the Europe´s most diverse countries in culture, relief and architecture I would like to show some examples of it´s diversity in new topics called

The Diversity of S L O V A K I A

And we should start with some examples from nature.

What you can see among Slovakia´s rich fauna on it´s relatively small area.

Wisent, European bison (Bison bonasus), Poloniny National Park called Zubor in Slovakia., Eastern Slovakia

Tatras Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra tatrica), Tatras National Park, Low Tatras National Park, special specie of Chamois living only in Slovakia and Poland.

Yeah, I love it now, it is beautifle. I can't imagine Bratislava without the castle! But there is still much work to do. Actually, it used to be yellow after the first renovation but according to the research it is white now (this is how it was like before the fire).

There is a thread about the renovation - http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=547963&page=81

Quite surprising that you have 23 national parks. This one looks great.

This Church in Pominovec (quite weird name) is about 900 years old, which makes it one of the oldest churches in Slovakia.

Košice

With a population of nearly 242,001, Košice is the second largest city in Slovakia after Bratislava.
