The 13 best hiking trails in Liptovsky Mikulas

Fantastic place to go with our boys of 8, 9 and 12 yrs old. With so many slides you can gradually build up the difficulty level. Personal favorite: Flamingo. Also had some good food from the grill 😋 And enough parking space. Buy tickets online to get some discount 😉

If you enjoy feeling exploited – go there. The entrance tickets are outrageously overpriced, and the place is packed with thousands of people, creating enormous queues for the slides. For some unexplained reason, on most of the slides – especially those designed for kids – you’re forced to wait for an inflatable tube, which makes the wait even longer and more cumbersome. On the main slides, you can end up waiting over an hour (!) in line, and then spend more long minutes waiting again at the top. Everything moves painfully slowly and inefficiently. But the real nerve is what they call “Express Tickets.” For an extra €3 per person per slide, they let you skip the main line and go straight up to the slide queue itself. So, while you – who already paid dozens of euros to get in – wait endlessly in the “regular” line, dozens of people who paid more casually walk past you. For every 20 “express” guests, they let through maybe 1 or 2 who paid the already outrageous regular admission. They’re counting on you to give up and pay more. It’s basically extortion. In 8 hours at the park, the kids barely managed 7 slides in total, and altogether spent about 5–6 hours waiting in line. The food is expensive too, and the queues for food are just as unreasonable. We won’t be coming back, and we definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

The water park is huge and offers a wide variety of attractions, with something for everyone. The rides and activities were diverse and a lot of fun. Most of the attractions are outdoors, so weather can make a big difference. The only downside was that the major attractions had long waiting times. We visited on a sunny day, so it wasn’t too bad, but on colder days the wait could be less pleasant, especially for those not used to chilly weather.

This review is for the aquapark pools and slides, not the hotel. As we were not there The place is great and we spent the full day with kids, even though most of the slides were closed due to winter, it was still lots of fun and not crowded at all , October time

Absolutely fantastic experience at Aqua Park Tatralandia! So many slides, pools, and attractions for every age. The water is warm, everything is clean, and the staff are super friendly. Perfect mix of fun and relaxation — a must-visit when in Slovakia. PS: There was a magician😂

Visited Tatralandia Water Park today. The park is very large, with plenty of seating areas both outdoors and indoors. It can get extremely crowded, which may not be ideal for those who dislike crowds, but it offers a fun experience for most visitors above 120 cm in height. Only a few attractions require a minimum height of 140 cm. There are lockers available for storing belongings, and many restaurants on-site, though prices are relatively high, around €15 for a standard meal and €3 for drinks. The park has a wide variety of attractions and pools. We chose to visit mainly for the wave pools, but unfortunately, they were closed upon arrival. It’s possible to skip the long lines by paying €3 per ride, but this option isn’t available for all attractions and must be paid each time you want to skip the line. If you don’t bring a towel, you can rent one for €4. There is plenty of parking in the complex, including in the main lot.

Unbelievably crowded! Right at the entrance, at every slide (it took even 55 mins today for one of them), at all restaurants in the peak lunch time, and finally a decent queue at the exit to pay the consumption. It's a pity, because the place has very good facilities and potential, it's just the unlimited visitors left in on such a peak day, which creates such a distress.

Great natural water, we spent time with our dog and kid, nice beach, warm water, we found private place close to Bobrovnik place. I really recommend this place for people with animals.

Loved the boat trip. Costs only 20 EUR and it is a lot of fun. People are very helpful. Highly recommended.

Amazing lake to go to with friends, family or alone. Definitely great pro is shade from the Forest and many water activities to choose from 😊

Can highly recommend this place especially in the hot summer days. He water is good and warm enough also for kids. Big camping with beach also available. Tatralandia aquapark is very close.

It was such a nice spot to camp, swim and do BBQ. The lake is very clean and clear. By the lake, we rented a mini peddle boat, 10€ per hour. And we had so much fun exploring the whole lake on our own foot! Great experience. Definitely recommend to drop by and swim in the lake.

it's a wonderful lake for water sports and swimming. The lake is very clear and cool in hot summer days.

Wonderful place to stop by if passing by. Water is refreshing and the views towards Western and Low Tatras are absolutely spectacular.

Beautiful mountains, just perfect and beautiful

Beautiful mountain range, extensive views. From the Polish side it is available all year round, from the Slovak side access is limited in winter.

Wild and beautiful, great hikes, ski tours (be aware of avalanches - West Tatras are grassy and prone to avalanches)

(Translated by Google) They are even more delightful in winter. More inaccessible, but every effort is worth these views. With each approach, they test and shape character. (Original) Zimą jeszcze bardziej zachwycają. Bardziej niedostępne lecz każdy wysiłek jest wart tych widoków. Przy każdym podejściu wystawiają na próbę i kształtują charakter.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful ridge hikes, mostly grassy hills with great views, sometimes rocky sections (secured with chains) where you feel like you're walking on a knife edge. A little less people than in the High Tatras. I recommend visiting Roháčske Plesá, for more skilled Miners. (Original) Krásne hrebeňové turistiky, prevažne trávnaté kopce s krásnymi výhľadmi, miestami skalnaté úseky (zabezpečené reťazmi), kde máte pocit, že chodíte po ostrí noža. O niečo menej ľudí ako vo Vysokých Tatrách. Odporúčam navštíviť Roháčske Plesá, pre zdatnejších Baníkov.

(Translated by Google) The Western Tatras are a great mountain range for long and short trips. The views are wonderful, e.g. the Bystra stream valley is a beautiful, picturesque place. A big advantage of this range is the significantly smaller number of tourists than in the High Tatras and, above all, in our Polish Tatras. Peace and quiet 👍⛰️ (Original) Tatry Zachodnie to świetne pasmo górskie na wycieczki dłuższe jak i te krótkie. Widoki wspaniałe np. dolina potoku Bystrej to przepiękne malownicze miejsce. Dużym plusem tego pasma jest zdecydowanie mniejsza liczba turystów aniżeli w Tatrach Wysokich a przede wszystkim naszych Polskich . Cisza i spokój 👍⛰️

(Translated by Google) Great hiking from Nižná Lúka along the green trail to the ridge in the direction of Jakubina, to the Polish border, further along the red Končistá trail, for those who are persistent, you can also run up to Klin and back down around Račkovy plies following the yellow trail. Hike for the whole day :) Beautiful environment. (Original) Skvelá turistika z Nižnej Lúky po zelenej značke na hrebeň smer Jakubina, na poľskú hranicu, ďaľej po červenej značke Končistá, pre vytrvalcov sa dá ešte vybehnúť na Klin a naspäť dolu okolo Račkových plies po žltej značke. Túra na celý deň :) Krásne prostredie.

Not really expensive for entree, but taking video and pictures is additional €10,-. It’s a queue of 1,5 hour outside in the sun, cash register closed for 45 minutes during cave operations? The tour is in Slovakian and no English, so for us it was just a bit of looking around, but it was absolutely beautiful. It’s just a bit of a mess in this business here, just like the parking of €10,-. Admission fee is €14,- per person.

This cave is incredibly amazing. Stunning view inside. Highly recommended to must see if you are in the area. Paid extra euro to be able to take photos. Our tour guide was so nice to translate the language to English. It was an amazing experience.

Pretty cave but entry isn’t the cheapest, and neither is the parking. Will also say that you are not allowed to take photos without a photo pass, which costs extra

Would recommend 10/10! While the price of the parking ticket (€15) or admission fee (€14/€24) can scare you at first, you will soon realise that it's completely justified. We took the long tour (100 min) and I would suggest taking it as otherwise you will miss the most breathtaking and stunning experience - the Great Dome. It truly is once in a lifetime feeling seeing it for the first time. The whole tour you get to try to figure out what do the different, really varied formations resemble. As an example, in the photo attached a little mole is being strangled by a cobra 🐍 The guide speaks in Slovak but as our group was mainly Polish, there was also Polish audio played. I am not sure if there is English audio as well, but you can read most of the details in their official free English guide. If you are in the neighbourhood give it a go, you won't regret it!

The caves are impressive, but be prepared to listen to Slovak language for an hour even if in the group are only foreigners.

Great experience and breathtaking. Prepare yourself for long distance walk. The tour guide speaks only Slovakian which makes the tour very very boaring without understanding a single world. Even instructions inside were explained only in thier language. Specially for such a large group around 100 person in the tour. The path from Parking to the entrance were not clear and confusing. It worth the experience eventhough.

The cave system is worth seeing. The way it is adjusted for mass tourism is painful to see. Tons of concrete are everywhere. The pariking (not governed by a cave institution) is criminally expensive. 15 EUR

I did this hike on the 6th of May. It was a cloudy day, but as soon as you got above the tree line and above clouds you could see the tops of the mountains. I walked from mini camping Jana in Liptovská Kokava. This added an hour each way to the hike. It’s a great campsite to stay in when hiking in the Tatra mountains. The hike itself was pretty straightforward, nothing technical.

This is the only open trail for the winter hikers in West Tatras. Follow the yellow trail (or the path) and you will get to the summit in about 4 hours from the parking at the Ziarska Valley (they charge 3 Euro for day parking). Once you get above the tree line you will be able to enjoy beautiful views on Ziarska Valley, Banikov range and Baranec Range. You can also see Low Tatras and once you get closer to the summit High Tatras too. The nature under the snow cover looks amazing, but it can get quite windy and the snow is slippery around the summit. The weather changes quickly too. Don't hesitate and put this winter hike on your bucket list!

Beautiful place. Best way to go up i i think to go right from parking on the beggining of Ziarska dolina. Way up is approx. 3,5hours and up there is beautiful circular view and you can choose few ways to continue your trip.

Perfect Outlook from the top

One of the most beautiful views of Liptov region.

supernice view, pretty tough hike. But it is worth it :)

Beautiful peak in Rohace

It should be taken into account that even in summer, the weather may surprise us which may make it difficult to cross the trail :)

Nice trail!

I can do it, so You can do it too!

(Translated by Google) An extremely interesting mountain, and the biggest impression is made by the summit itself. Up to a certain point, the access is quite efficient, before the summit it starts to get much more difficult and it is not a climb for everyone, along the way there are large steep slopes and approaches with chains. The slender rocks sticking out, make a fairy-tale impression. (Original) Niezwykle ciekawa góra, a największe wrażenie robi sam szczyt.DO pewnego momentu dojście jest dość sprawne, przed szczytem zaczyna się o wiele trudniej i nie jest to wspinaczka dla każdego, po drodze duże stromizny i podejścia z łańcuchami. Wystające smukle skały ,robią wręcz jakieś baśniowe wrażenie

(Translated by Google) Don't be fooled by the ease of the route, as despite its rather unimpressive elevation, there's almost 1,000 meters of elevation gain over a short 4-kilometer section. It's the perfect route for a break, and it's a wonderful summit and trail. One of the most beautiful in the region. The climate and views are incredible, and there are a few obstacles along the way. I was incredibly surprised by how magnificent this summit and the trail itself are. I've hiked everything in the Tatras, even the Taternickie routes, but Siwy Wierch made a huge impression on me. If you haven't, it's an absolute must-see! (Original) Niech nikogo nie zwiedzie łatwość trasy bo pomimo mało imponującej wysokości na krótkim odcinku bo 4 km jest prawie 1000m przewyższenia. Idealna trasa na przetarcie i cudowny szczyt i szlak. Jeden z piękniejszych w rejonie. Klimat i widoki niesamowite no i jest też na trasie kilka utrudnień. Byłem mega zaskoczony tym jak wspaniały jest to szczyt i sam szlak. Przeszedłem już wszystko w Tatrach nawet drogi Taternickie ale Siwy Wierch zrobił na mnie ogromne wrażenie. Jak nie byłeś to absolutnie obowiązkowy punkt !!!

(Translated by Google) The beautiful, last, westernmost peak of the Western Tatras range in Slovakia. The trail is very attractive in terms of views and adventure, first it leads through the forest and then leads into a labyrinth of limestone, white rocks. Silence, peace, a real feast for all the senses. From the top there is a wonderful all-round panorama. You can see the Liptov Reservoir, the Orava Reservoir, Babia Góra, Pilsko, the Low Tatras and the Mała Fatra Mountains. (Original) Przepiękny, ostatni wysunięty najdalej na zachód szczyt pasma Tatr Zachodnich na terytorium Słowacji. Szlaku bardzo atrakcyjny widokowo i przygodowo, najpierw wiedzie przez las, a później wprowadza w labirynt wapiennych, białych skał. Cisza, spokój, prawdziwa uczta dla wszelkich zmysłów. Ze szczytu wspaniałą panorama dookólna. Widać Zalew Liptowski, Zalew Orawski, Babią Górę, Pilsko, Niskie Tatry oraz Małą Fatrę.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant circular route with a climb to the grey hill. We walked from Zuberec, back through the leaning town. Nice views. Few people in the morning. Varied route. (Original) Velmi příjemná okružní cesta s výstupem na sivý vrch. Šli jsme od Zuberce, zpět přes sklání město. Hezké výhledy. Ráno málo lidí. Rozmanitá trasa.

We did the hike few days ago. Weather was perfect, sunny with light wind. We went to Banikovo sedlo, across the ridge to Smutné sedlo. There are some chains and narrow parts, but not to scary if you have hiking experince in high mountains. Alps can be more scary then this ridge. Views were amazing.

Beautifull hike with little climbing adventure.

Wonderful view of Zakopane, weather prrfect, just you need to take jaket and umbrella

IMHO, one of the most beautiful views in Západné Tatry. I guess the hike requires some confidence, it is narrow and I have seen people struggle, but if you are a mountain person you will certainly enjoy: There are some chains in an easy climbing terrain direction Plačlivé.

Amazing views, an incredible trail. Be prepared for a little challenge, but It's worth every step.

Really nice peak. If you like adrenaline than its for you. Lot of chains and ladders on ridge.

Lovely hiking place.

Great parking spot for hiking

Parking, shelter with bench,signs for tourists and bikers.

Ok

TOP

(Translated by Google) Excellent free parking. It's not big, but since it's not really known, it's more than enough. There is also a small parking lot above it. 300-400 meters is the least known. I definitely recommend it! We're back! Near Horska hata 3 stars. You can safely consume it. They are lovely! (Original) Kiváló ingyenes parkoló. Nem nagy de mivel nem igazán ismert bőven elég. Felette is van egy kisebb parkoló. 300 ' 400 méterre az megkevesbbe ismert. Mindenképp ajánlom! Visszatértünk! Közelbe Horska hata 3 csillag. Lehet bátran fogyasztani. Kedvesek!

(Translated by Google) Peace, nature and the beginning of hiking. We still found a parking space. (Original) Kľud, príroda a začiatok turistiky. Stále sme našli miesto na parkovanie.

(Translated by Google) Mega cool point to start the trail to Siwy wierch. Free parking without facilities. (Original) Mega fajny punkt żeby zacząć szlak na Siwy wierch. Parking bezpłatny bez udogodnień.

Nice ski-tour, 3 hours from Spalena parking to the Salatin peak (or saddle) .

The most beautiful area in the West tatras!

Such a scenery, beautiful mountains and worth to visit.

Super 😊

(Translated by Google) Peak 2048 m above sea level great views, only mountains all around, entrance from the Spalena parking lot (paid EUR 8) sometimes difficult, but without chains. Unfortunately, there are no markings/plates on the top, only a metal peg surrounded by stones. (Original) Szczyt 2048 m n.p.m. widoki świetne, dookoła tylko góry, wejście od parkingu Spalena (platny 8 EUR) momentami ciężkie ale bez łańcuchów. Niestety ma szczycie brak oznaczenia/tabliczki tylko metalowy kołek otoczony kamieniami.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful peak that you can reach by a ridgeline. It was a great hike. (Original) Krásný vrchol, na který dojdete hřebenovkou. Byla to povedená tura.

(Translated by Google) Interesting trail, nice views. Getting to the top is ok, you have to be prepared to go up, down, up and down... but it's worth it :) (Original) Szlak ciekawy , ładne widoki . Dojście na szczyt ok , trzeba się nastawić na drogę w górę , w dół, w górę i w dół.. ale warto :)

I absolutely loved the walk there. There were not many tourists, I was listening to birds and water … there was still snow at the end of the May. Start a tour in Rohace Spalena Parking - €8. Or anywhere nearby. It is a round tour - so you can go to former Tatliakova chats and via Rohacske Plesa to Adamcuľa or other way round ;-)) There’s quick food at Tatliakova chats

Super

(Translated by Google) Come and admire😁 😲 AWESOME VIEWS💎🤩🏞️ For me, it's a mountain paradise. It's simply impossible not to admire nature here. Zielona Dolina will definitely stay in my memory. A repertoire of greenery, stones, springs and the mighty 💪 Rohacki waterfall. Wherever I turn, there's a wonderful view. I highly recommend it. My team took the loop route from the Pod Spaleniu parking lot. The route is definitely for average tourists. It's not technically demanding but can be physically demanding, especially on hot days. On the plus side - the trail is not crowded. (Original) Przybywajcie i podziwiajcie😁 😲 AWESOME VIEWS💎🤩🏞️ Jak dla mnie to górski raj. Tu się po prostu nie da nie zachwycać naturą. Mi w pamięci na pewno zostanie Zielona Doliną. Repertuar zieleni, kamieni, źródełek i mocarnego 💪 wodospadu Rohackiego. Gdzie się nie obrócę tam wspaniały widok. Gorąco polecam. Moja ekipa obrała trasę pętelki z parkingu Pod Spaleniu. Trasa jak najbardziej dla przeciętnych turystów. Nie jest wymagająca technicznie ale może być wymagająca kondycyjnie szczególnie w upalne dni. Na plus - na szlaku nie jest łocznie.

(Translated by Google) It can easily compete with 5 ponds on the Polish side, the approach from the waterfall side is quite steep and in hot weather it's exhausting.. from Tatliaków cottage there's a shorter approach if someone needs an easier version. (Original) Może śmiało konkurować z 5 stawami po polskiej stronie, podejście od strony wodospadu dość strome i w upalna pogodę daje w kość.. od tatliakowej chaty krótsze podejście jeśli ktoś potrzebuje łatwiejszej wersji.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, I recommend taking the route towards the waterfall from Adamcula. You will have nicer views of the lake from the top and the descent is not as steep as in the opposite direction from Ťatliak's cottage... (Original) Nádherné místo, doporučuji vyrazit trasu směrem k vodopádu od Adamculy. Čekají vás hezčí výhledy na plesa z vrchu a sestup není tak strmý jako opačným směrem od Ťatliakovy chaty...

(Translated by Google) About a two-hour hike from the Spálená parking lot, over the Roháčský waterfall. After the ascent, you can look forward to breathtaking views of Volovec, Ostrý Roháč, Spálená and Pachoľa. (Original) Asi dvouhodinový výšlap z parkoviště Spálená, přes Roháčský vodopád. Po výstupu se můžete těšit na dechberoucí výhledy na Volovec, Ostrý Roháč, Spálenou a Pachoľu.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely amazing and beautiful wild nature⛰️🪨🐻🦊. From Tatliakova chata the path is more leisurely, but the descent over the Roháčov waterfall is very steep. Beautiful scenery, views and clean air. (Original) Naprosto úžasná a krásná divoká příroda⛰️🪨🐻🦊. Od Tatliakovej chaty je cesta pohodovější, ale sestup přes roháčovský vodopád velmi strmý. Překrásné scenérie, výhledy a čistý vzduch.

(Translated by Google) Probably the most beautiful tourist ridge in Slovakia (Original) Asi najkrajší turistický hrebeň na Slovensku

(Translated by Google) The nearest hill above the Rohác plesami with a great view 😌 (Original) Najbližší vrch nad roháčskymi plesami so super výhľadom 😌

(Translated by Google) A beautiful cross made of skis at the top. I recommend visiting ;) (Original) Przecudny krzyz z nart na szczycie. Polecam odwiedzic;)

(Translated by Google) Great views, I recommend everyone to come here :) (Original) Super widoki, polecam każdemu się tutaj znaleźć 🙂

(Translated by Google) Hruba Kopa itself is nothing special, a slightly more interesting approach than to Płaczliwy Rohacz. At the top there is a nice, characteristic cross made of skis, that's all. It pales in comparison to the road through Trzy Kopy and on the other side the approach to Banówka. (Original) Sama Hruba Kopa to nic szczególnego, niewiele ciekawsze podejście niż na Płaczliwy Rohacz. Na szczycie fajny, charakterystyczny krzyż z nart, tyle. Blednie w porównaniu z drogą przez Trzy Kopy i po drugiej stronie podejściem na Banówkę.

(Translated by Google) The hill is great and the views are a poem 👍🎿 (Original) Kopec je to parádny a tie výhľady jedna báseň 👍🎿

(Translated by Google) The peak with a characteristic cross made of skis. Very nice views (Original) Szczyt z charakterystycznym krzyżem z nart. Bardzo ładne widoki

(Translated by Google) A beautiful ridge trail, a bit exposed in places. Frontal views - especially of Rohace. From Smutna Przełęcz the approach is rather simple. There is an interesting passage towards Banówka and experience with the exhibition may be useful. I recommend (Original) Przepiękny szlak graniowych, miejscami nieco eksponowany. Widoki przednie - szczególnie na Rohacze. Od Smutnej przełęczy podejście raczej proste. W kierunku Banówki zaczyna być ciekawe przejście i obycie z ekspozycją może się przydać. Polecam

(Translated by Google) Quite a difficult peak along the red trail from Wołowiec to Brestov. (Original) Dość trudny szczyt przy czerwonym szlaku z Wołowca na Brestova.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful tours in summer and winter (Original) Krasne tury v lete aj v zime

😀👍

(Translated by Google) Beautiful views. (Original) Piękne widoki.

(Translated by Google) Nice climbing (Original) Pekné lezenie
