Beyond the economic and commercial attraction the country offers, no Central European country wears superlatives more easily, in terms of quality of life, than the Slovak Republic. Much of the country’s rich cultural heritage owes its origins to the dominant role played in shaping the Central and Eastern Europe we know today. And physically, it’s like a living mosaic of Europe’s finest and most enchanting scenery.

Cradled under the Carpathian Mountains, which extend about 1,500 km in a great semicircle from Bratislava to Romania, Slovakia is partially bordered to the south by the majestic Danube having graced Vienna only 60 km upstream. Gerlachovsky Peak in Slovakia, at 2,655 m, represents the highest point of the Carpathian range. With mountains and forests accounting for 70% of the land use, the country plays host to many nature preservation areas and seven national parks including Slovensky raj, Slovak’s Paradise.
