Do you fancy hiking, mountains and lots of nature? In Slovakia you will find mountains with excellent hiking trails, beech forests and limestone cliffs. You will especially know the area of the High Tatras, the "smallest high mountains in the world". Wolves, brown bears, golden eagles and chamois live in Slovakia's national parks.
Most work camps in Slovakia also take place in areas that are sometimes relatively wild and close to nature. Perfect for anyone who likes to be out in nature.
In addition to lots of nature, you will also find more than 200 castles and palaces in Slovakia, as well as of course the capital Bratislava, whose 18th century old town with bars and cafés and the rebuilt castle with a view of the old town and the Danube are worth a visit.
Practical for all travelers from Germany: The currency in Slovakia is the euro.
Travelling tips for Slovakia
Traveling to Slovakia from Germany is not complicated. All you need to enter the country is a valid ID card.
You can easily reach Slovakia by train via Austria or Czech Republic. Anyone who lives in Europe can use trains all over Europe with an Interrail pass, for example. The pass gives you the opportunity to travel on almost all trains in Europe. However, you should note that you have to reserve seats for some trains. Popular trains are quickly booked up, so book early! If you want to remain completely flexible, it is best to use routes without a reservation requirement or travel in the off-season.
There are also direct long-distance bus connections to Bratislava from many German cities. You can find more tips on sustainable travel to the camp here.
