Wilderness is not far away from Bratislava. Rich wet lowland forests are cut by playful waters of Little Danube river. The landscape under its surface hides the largest resources of drinking water in Central Europe. The first threat for this increasingly valuable resource was an oil refinery built in 1956. Today, a new project of pipelines planned to cross Little Danube area can become another danger for fragile ecosystems. Check it yourself on our tour. Explore this pristine river on canoe from only €39 per person.

A pleasant tour to the Little Carpathians. Recommended after hangover or if you are in a lack of time and need of nature. Only 60 kilometres from Bratislava there are forests, rock formations and peace you should not miss. We reach one of the highest peaks of this cozy mountain range (Vápenná, 752 metres above sea level) and through the forests and meadows and plesant views we finish our hike at medieval castle ruin (Plavecký hrad). We refresh ourselves at local pub (beer or kofola recommended). 5-hour hike, 7-hour trip in total, from only €29!

The less demanding option of 1-day trip to the bizarre rock formations of Súľov. Prepare your boots and imagination! Splendid by their views and relatively easy to hike, the are the best deal for those scared to get completely exhausted in real mountains. Comfy access (190 kilometres on the highway from Bratislava, up to 2 hours) and no need to climb to the clouds is guarantee of a pleasant nature shot for everyone. Whole-day experience from only €39.

The more demanding option of 1-day trip to the rocks and valleys. Malá Fatra with its gorges and views is a real pearl of north-western Slovakia. A great option if you are full of energy and you want to use every minute of the day fully (carpe diem). We pick you up at 7:00am from your hostel and head 230 kilometres north on highway (cca 2,5 hours). We set off for the hike from the picturesque village of Štefanová (625 metres above sea level). An intensive full-day experience from only €45.

Just a few km from the rush of Bratislava city there are silently dreaming castle ruins. Refresh yourself in the past of the forests of the Little Carpathians. 2 spooky castle ruins, 5-hour experience from only €29 per person!

The ruin of Pajštún castle is not only historically signifact ruin (destroyed by Napoleon), but also a pleasant place for weekend barbecues or – as it stands on a steep rock – a great challenge for climbers, being not the most „silently dreaming“, especially during the summer weekends. We need to walk and sweat about 30 minutes on a steep slope from Borinka village (about 20km from Bratislava) to reach this mythical place.

Little Carpathians - a 100km long mountain range with 14 castles. During the tour you can see 4 real mystic ruins in 1 day, including Čachtice castle, the seat of  the bloody countess Bathory. Also in this tour we focus rather on the authentic experience than on sometimes too artificially reconstructed castles which lost their spirit, their "genius loci". We can guarantee that on the places you will visit, you will be NOT one of the hundred tourists lead by nose. Check it out from only €39 per person!
