The tradition of higher education in
Košice goes back to the year 1657,
when the bishop Benedict Kishdy found−
ed an Academy by the Memorandum of
”Studium Universale” and presented it
with 40 000 tallers (by way of a dot).
The Academy or the University start−
ed up managed by the Jesus’ Community
Jesuits. The University of Košice Golden
Bull issued on the 6th of August 1660 by
the Roman emperor Leopold I. granted
the University the same privileges as to
all the other universities of the Habsburg Monarchy in Vienna,
Prague, Köln, Graz, Trnava,
Olomouc e.g. The Bull in−
cluded a provision of high
significance stating the aca−
demic degrees to be recog−
nized as they were granted at
any of the oldest and most
famous universities.
The structure of the ”Aca−
demia Cassoviensis” was similar to that of other universities
managed by Jesuits, determined by the Study Rules −”Ratio
Studiorum”. Rector, Vice−rector and Chancellor stood at the
head of the University, Faculties were represented by Deans.
Alongside the Philosophical and the Law Faculties, the
Theological Faculty was the strongest.
Study at the Philosophical Faculty was dedicated first of
all to Philosophy, History and Languages, but the lectures
included also natural sciences, e.g. Physics, Mathematics,
Geography and Botany.
The Košice University was well known for its excellent
professors Martin Palkovič, Samuel Timon, Štefan Kaprinai,
Karol Wágner, Juraj Sklenár, Michal Lipšic, distinguished for
dissemination of the new Physics in the Monarchy, and others.
Regular and extraordinary professors were giving lectures to
the students of all the Hungary nationalities. The lectures were
given in Latin.
The University had its own library, church, printing station
and it was also connected to other institutions, a high school,
seminary and convict or to vassal villages and other estate
administration, for instance.
The University was in possession of more villages in Spiš
County, at Abov and Zemplín See; it owned also one of the
Gemer county towns, Jelšava. The university significantly
influenced the advancement of science, educational attain−
ment and spiritual culture in the 17th and 18th century.
In 1773 the University felt out of conduct of Jesuits and
became a public institution − Academia Regia. Following a
provision of a government − Ratio Educationis − it lost its
sovereignty and remained just a subsidiary of the only
Hungarian University in Buda while keeping the right to grant
a degree. In 1850 Academia Regia transformed into the Law
Academy, which existed till the year 1921.

Predecessors of P. J. Šafárik University
1657 – beginning of university education in Košice –
foundation of Academia Cassoviensis by Benedikt Kishdy –
bishop of Eger.
1660 – Golden Bull awarded by Leopold I, which gave the
University and the city the same privileges as for instance,
Cologne, Vienna, Graz and others.
1777 – the bishop’s Alma Mater Universalis Episcopalis was
transformed to Academia regia Cassoviensis as two−year Law
Faculty with philosophical orientation.
1921 – the University completed its existence for 38 years.

Founding the Dr. Milan Rastislav Štefánik Technical
University made Košice a seat of university, again, though it
was cancelled by the law in 1939.
After the Second World War, in successive steps, following
universities were established: University of Agriculture and
Horticulture, subsidiary of the Pedagogical Faculty of the
Slovak University in 1947, in 1948 it was a subsidiary of the
Medical Faculty of Comenius University, University of
Veterinary Medicine in 1949 and in 1952 Technical University.
By joining the subsidiary of the Medical Faculty of Comenius
University with the Philosophical Faculty accrued from the
Philosophical Faculty of the Pedagogical College in Prešov, Pavol
Jozef Šafárik University in Košice was established, which fastened
on to the tradition of the historical Jesuitical Košice University.
In 1964 the Pedagogical Faculty with a seat in Prešov was
established and became a part of P. J. Šafárik University, as well
as the Faculty of Science in 1963 and the Faculty of Law in 1973.
The number of faculties increased by the Faculty of Orthodox
Theology and the Faculty of Greek−Catholic Theology ; on the
1st of January 1997 the P. J. Šafárik University was divided
into two independent Universities, P. J. Šafárik University in
Košice and University of Prešov in Prešov. So, the number of
faculties was reduced to 3, which were the Faculty of Medicine,
the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Law. From the year
1998 the University has also a new Faculty of Public
Administration.
P. J. Šafárik University in the years 1959 − 1999
1959 – old University traditions were renewed by foundation
of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice which consisted of
Faculty of Medicine in Košice Faculty of Philosophy in Prešov
(Faculty of Medicine existed since 1949 as a part of Comenius
University in Bratislava).
The new University has enlarged by new faculties:
1963 – Faculty of Science in Košice
1964 – Faculty of Education in Prešov
1973 – Faculty of Law in Košice
In 1990 two new faculties were established: Faculty of Greek−
Catholic Theology in Prešov and Faculty of Orthodox Theology
in Prešov.
In 1997 after difficult discussions at the University and in the
Parliament of the Slovak Republic the University split into two
independent Universities: P. J. Šafárik University in Košice and
University of Prešov in Prešov.
P. J. Šafárik University in Košice consisted of three faculties:
Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Science and Faculty of Law.
In 1998 a new Faculty of Public Administration was founded
as a part of P. J. Šafárik University.
In 1999 Faculty of Science opened an educational unit in the
city of Rožňava, in the mine region near the birthplace of P. J.
Šafárik.
The University is managed by Rector of the University and
four vice−rectors responsible for the following affairs: research
and information technology, academic affairs, international
relations and development.

Study at P. J. Šafárik University
According to the Higher Education Act of the Slovak Republic
there are three levels of study at the university:
1. Bachelor (Bc.) Programme that lasts three to four years,
2. Magister (Mgr.) − equivalent to Master (MS.) Programme that
lasts one or two years, Doctor‘s (MUDr.) Programme in gener−
al medicine and dentistry (six years),
3. PhD. Programme (full−time form lasting three or four years,
part−time form in duration of five years).
P. J. Šafárik University follows first of all the guiding principles
of the Sorbonne Declaration in 1998 in order to encourage chang−
es in the architecture of higher education system. Then World
Declaration on Higher Education for the 21st century of October
9th, 1998, the Joint Declaration of the European Ministers of Edu−
cation convened in Bologna, 1999 and other documents.
Since the beginning of the academic year 1998/1999, the cred−
it system has been introduced at the university. The credit sys−
tem, compatible with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS),
facilitates the exchange of students in the framework of the Soc−
rates/Erasmus programme.
University has a democratic system of management, based
on mutual cooperation of academic decision−making bodies
and academic representatives. The university is headed by
the Rector, who directs, represents and acts on its behalf. The

Admission and application
The applicants are required to have completed secondary
education. In order to verify the abilities of candidates, they
have to take an admission examination which consists of a
written test. However, in substantial cases, the faculty may
waive the requirement of the admission exam. Students are
expected to possess a sufficient level of English. The subject
of study must be chosen from an approved list of accredited
study programmes.
The applicants for doctoral studies must possess a Magis−
ter degree or equivalent of this or another university. In addi−
tion, they may be required to pass qualifying examination in
order to determine their suitability to undertake the pro−
gramme for which they apply.
Beginning the academic year 1998/1999, credit−based
system in line with the European standard ECTS has been im−
plemented. This activity was supported by Tempus University
Management Joint European project “Credit based system at
Faculties of Science in Slovakia”. All this was done in order to
provide flexibility of a study and mobility of students. The flexi−
bility is embodied in making study more flexible, providing
available choices, promoting interdisciplinary study and de−
velopment of students’ professional career according to their
needs and preferences. The latter mentioned enables mobili−
ty not only within Slovakia, but also promoting East−West and
West−East student flows, notably within the Socrates/Erasmus
programme.

The beginning of the law study in Košice dates back to
1657 when Benedictus Kisdi, the bishop of Jager’s Diocese,
established the Academia Cassoviensis for “studium univer−
sale seu academiam”. In 1712 the Department of Ecclesiasti−
cal Law was established at the University and it became the
basis for the future Law Faculty transformed into the Royal
Academy in 1777. In 1850 the Royal Academy was renamed
to the Imperial Royal Law Academy. This Law Academy exist−
ed up to 1921 when it was formally abolished. The law study
in Košice was reopened in 1970 as a subsidiary of the Faculty
of Law of the Comenius University in Bratislava. In 1973 the
Faculty of Law was established as a part of the Pavol Jozef
Šafárik University in Košice on the basis of the above men−

THE TOWN KOŠICE
Košice, the second largest city in Slovakia, has been the natural
metropolis of Eastern Slovakia ever since the time of its foundation.
It is situated in the valley of the Hornád River and the Košice Hollow.
Košice has the warm, rather dry climate typical of hollows; the
average January temperature ranges from −2 °C to −4 °C; average July
temperature ranges from 18.5 °C to 20 °C; the average annual pre−
cipitation is 600 – 700 mm. The average wind speed is 12 miles per
hour (20 kilometers).
The settlements in the valley of the Hornád River belong to the
oldest on the Slovakian territory. Archaeological findings date them
as far back as the Older Stone Age, e. g. about 100 000 B. C. The
oldest Palaeolithic settlement in Europe, more than 80 000 years old,
was discovered in Barca near Košice. There is no historical document
referring to the origin of the settlement of Košice. But it is evident
that the territory was settled much earlier than it is mentioned in the
first written document dated from 1230 when the Hungarian King
Andrew reigned. Košice is mentioned in this document as Villa Cassa.
70
71
THE TOWN KOŠICE
Since 1342 the town had privileges,
which increased its importance. On 28th July
1347 Košice was granted further privileges
by the King Louis the Great, which enjoyed
till then only the inhabitants of Buda, so that
Košice became the second most important
town in Hungary. The same king in 1369
granted the town its coat of arms. It was for
the first time in the European history that a
town was granted coat of arms based on a
royal decree. It consisted of a shield with four
silver and white stripes running horizontally
on a red background with three lilies in the upper part. Košice
remained an important name in long−distance trade throughout the
whole of the 14th and 15th centuries. It was at this time that town
gained the privileges of a free royal city, one of the largest and
richest in the whole of Hungary. This was also period when the city’s
most beautiful historic buldings were erected.
From the beginning of the 16th century, however, Košice’s mer−
cantile fame went into decline. After this period of economic bloom
and relative peace, in the 16th and 17th centuries Košice went through
some more eventful times as the country came under constant threat
of turkish invasion, and was then rocked by series of social uprisings
during which control of the city changed hands many times from one
side in the struggles to the oth−
er. In addition, there was then
extra upheaval of the reformation
and subsequently the counter−
reformation. As a result of these
frequent wars, Košice was trans−
formed into the strongest city
fortress in Hungary and became
the head−quarters of the Captain−
general. At that time, in 1657,
due to the economical, adminis−
trative, and political importance
the city became a seat of uni−
versity and secondary schooling
in connection with the re−Cathol−
icization movement.
The development of industry gave Košice a new impulse, espe−
cially in a form of arising of manufactories and later industrial plants,
accelerated mainly by the building of the East Slovak Iron and Steel
Works. The city increased in beauty as well as in size, and took on
the character of an ethnic melting−pot containing Germans, Hungarians,
THE TOWN KOŠICE
Slovaks and Jews, all with their
various regions and cultures.
Košice maintained its cultural
and ethnic variety up until
present. At the Nowadays the
city has a well developed met−
allurgical, engineering, food and
clothing industry, building trade,
and is a centre of transport and information technology.
The history is closely tied up with the beautifully reconstructed
buildings in the downtown core of Košice
that make this eastern Slovak regional
capital a truly memorable destination. The
most valuable part of the town of Košice,
which attracts practically all visitors, is the
historical core with a spindle−shaped square
and pedestrian zone along the Main street
(Hlavná ulica) proclaimed a historical town
reserve. Visitors of Košice can admire very
different architectonic styles documenting
the famous and rich history of the town.
St. Elisabeth’s Cathedral, built between
1378 and 1508 and a Gothic masterpiece, is the city’s oldest archi−
tectural landmark. It is the most beautiful Gothic church in Slovakia.
Particularly imposing is the winged main altar with its three oversize
statues and forty−eight panel paintings, while the lateral altars, Gothic
wall paintings and sculptures add to the charm. The building was
seriously damaged for several times by elemental catastrophes. The
current full renovation began in 1985 and lasts up to recent days.
The tympanum above the en−
trance displays a relief depicting
the Last Judgement. The other
five reliefs display scenes from
the life of St. Elisabeth, The Vir−
gin Mary with attendants. The
excellent acoustics is exploited
for organizing of organ concerts,
and in September International
Organ Festival. You can ask the
church keeper to take you to the
tomb of František Rakoczi, a fa−
mous Hungarian noble, who led
one of the revolts against the
Habsburgs in the early 18th cen−
tury. After dying in exile in Tur−

THE TOWN KOŠICE
key was later brought to Košice with great fanfare in 1906 and buried
in St. Elizabeth’s. There is a possibility to
go up to the tower for additional fee.
St. Michael’s Chapel located to the south
of the Cathedral, is a single−nave Gothic edi−
fice from the 14th century. It was built on the
southern side of the Cathedral, it is the sec−
ond sacral monument of Košice. Till the end of
the 18th century it served as a chapel of the
cemetery formerly situated around. The chap−
el is dedicated to St. Michael who leads souls
to the next world. On a gable above the en−
trance there is a relief of St. Michael weighing
souls of the deceased. It is the
city’s second oldest building.
St. Urbain’s Tower, a de−
tached medieval bell−tower from
14th century also belongs to the
cathedral complex, all of which
was originally surrounded by a
churchyard wall until 19th centu−
ry. The Bell of St. Urban is cast
from the former one which was
damaged by fire. The originally
gothic tower was rebuilt in the
Renaissance style. The tower is
dedicated to St. Urban, the pa−
tron of wine−growers, because
exactly the wine−trade was a very
important part of the medieval
town economy. St. Urbans Bell
was destroyed by fire in 1966.
At the present time the tower is
fully renovated.
The State Theatre, built in the
middle of square in a park accord−
ing to the design in the histori−
cizing style by A. A. Lang and
Steinhardt at the end of 19th cen−
tury. The interior of the theatre is
richly decorated with plaster
ornaments, the ceiling with paint−
ings by the Viennese painter with
scenes from Shakespeare’s trag−
edies Romeo and Juliet, A Mid−
THE TOWN KOŠICE
summer Night’s Dream, Othelo and King Lear.
Immaculata Statue “The Plague Col−
umn”, this sculptural group is situated on the
former scaffold site in the square; it was
erected by builder Tornyossy and sculptor
Grimming in 1720 – 1723. The monument
was restored several times, and several
statues were replaced by copies. The square
is built up with palaces, burghers’ houses
and sacral buildings.
Jakab Palace, located next
to a former mill−race, the palace
was built by Jakab, the architect
of many Art Nouveau and Roman−
tic buildings. He used rejected
stone elements from renovated
St. Elisabeth for the construction
of this palace at the end of 19th
century.
The Forgach Palace, an elev−
en axial two storey palace of the
nobility built in Empire style in
the early 19th century, now houses the State Science Library.
The oldest and most treasured building lies in the heart of Košice.
This famous building is the District House which was built in 1779
by Viennese J. Langer in the Baroque Classical style.
To the recreational area belongs the park at the Immaculata
and the park of the Singing fountain – both popular places for
inhabitants and visitors alike. Especially the later takes pride in its
uniqueness.
The Singing fountain and the chimes are a real attraction: The
fountain is able simultaneously to react to its own music, to the
sound of the chimes and to the music transmitted from the nearby
theatre. This musical play makes a stay in the park truly rewarding
and also accompanies a walk around the
Urban tower, the cathedral St. Elisabeth –
with the chapel St. Michael – and the streets
around the Golden Cross in downtown.
The city has also wonderful museums to
visit including the Jakoby’s Gallery, the East
Slovakian Museum, The Slovak Technical
Museum, The Loffler’s Museum, and an Ar−
chaeological Museum.
On the 7th May 1369 the armorial warrant
was granted to Košice by Louis the Great.

THE TOWN KOŠICE
The rich cultural, social and sport life and the famous hospitali−
ty, the religious and ethnic tolerance of the Košičans receive from
visitors positive response. The city has become a favourite
destination for statesmen, diplomates and other important persons,
their names are immortalized on the pavement of the historic
downtown.
Košice is a booming tourist town. It is said to be the most
beautiful town of Slovakia. Come, and find out for yourself!
82
Excellent conditions for the relaxation can be found in Košice sub−
urbs and surroundings.
Attractive skiing centres like Kavečany, Jahodná and Kojšov pro−
vide good conditions for downhill and cross−country skiing. Bankov
and Alpinka are popular centres of tourism and hiking.
KOŠICE SURROUNDINGS
Bukovec (10 km from Košice) and Ružín (25 km from Košice) are
popular centres of swimming and water sports.
83
Geyser in Herľany
27 km from Košice, the only cold geyser on the European conti−
nent, found in 1875 during boring works to gain sources of mineral
water for a spa. At present once every 32 – 34 hours the geyser
spurts water. Each eruption lasts about 25 minutes and water squirts
up to 15 m.
Zádiel Valley
The deepest canyon with the
depth of 300 m and length of 2.2
km. The unique area with inci−
dence of rare species of fauna
and flora. It offers an 3 hours
walk through untouched nature.
Hradová
466 m above sea level, situ−
ated northerly of Košice be−
tween the valley of the brook
Črmeľ and river Hornád. To the
top of the hill Hradová with
ruines of a medieval castle runs
a marked track. The first written
documents concerning the castle
are very brief and since 1995 an archeological research has been
realized here. At present there is a tower, which afford a good view
of the city and its surroundigs, nice place for having a barbeque.
Krásna Hôrka Castle and Betliar House
are further tips for weekend.
84
ZOO of Košice
The ZOO of Košice is one of the biggest zoos in Slovakia. It is
very popular because of its location. The Košice ZOO is listed in the
European Association of ZOOs which monitors activity in zoos in
Europe. One of the activities is
inspecting the breeding activity
of rare animals. The Košice Zoo
has been successful breeding
many animals, especially the
Hucul Horse. Near ZOO a bob−
sleigh track is located and easily
accessible by local city busses.
High Tatra Mountains
The High Tatra mountains are located in the region of Eastern
Slovakia, 100 km from Košice.
The High Tatras – Vysoké Tatry, an area whose natural beauty
makes it one of the most remarkable recreation areas not only in
Slovakia but in all of Europe. Among other things, the High Tatras
offer exceptionally clean air and a unique climate, leaving every visi−
tor feeling better, especially those who take advantage of the many
health spa treatments available. Hiking paths, ranging from gentle
to highly demanding, wind among spectacular peaks and rock walls.
The mountain range is divided into eastern and western sec−
tions. The West Tatras consist of six geomorphic units (Osobita,
Sivý vrch, Roháče, Liptovské hole, Červené vrchy and Liptovské kopy).
The East Tatras include the High Tatras and Belianske Tatras.
85
The tallest peak being Gerlach, spiking to a summit at 2655
meters above sea level (m a. s. l.). These mountains, the only of
alpine character in Slovakia, stretch their 32 valleys over a mere 26
kilometers, making the range one of the smallest of its kind. The
sharp, stony peaks owe their shape to glaciers, which shaped the
High Tatras many thousands of years ago.
Having fulfilled their task, the glaciers then disappeared; and
therefore glaciers do not present barriers here, as they sometimes
do in the Alps or the Caucasus. Nature’s work has been supplement−
ed by man’s, rendering the area uniquely accessible — well−main−
tained trails lead through valleys and passes, and even to the sum−
mits of 10 mountains.
Transportation and building has also attained remarkable
heights:
– the settlement of Štrbské ple−
so (1 355 m a. s. l.) is easily
accessible by road or rail
– an inclined plane reaches the
Hrebienok ridge (1 285 m)
– Skalnaté pleso (1 751 m) is
attainable via cable cars
– and from there another cable
car will take you to the peak
of Lomnický štít (2 632 m)
– other aerial trams go to
Solisko (1 815 m) and up to
the col Lomnické sedlo
(2 200 m)
– a mountain hotel sits next to the tarn Velické pleso (1 670 m)
– a hiker’s chalet, Chata pod Rysmi (2 250 m), offers the highest
lodgings in the Tatras
Only a short distance separates these points from the High Tat−
ras summits, often stretching to heights above 2 500 m. This puts
even an average hiker within reach of many spectacular sights.
Tatras National Park
Is the oldest national park in Slovakia. It was founded in
1949 and covers a 741−square−kilometer area of the Slovak part
of the West and High Tatras, also including the entire Belianske
Tatras.
86
The boundaries of the Tatras
National Park (TANAP), clearly
marked on all approach routes,
are: the Slovak−Polish border to
the north, the Ždiar−Tatranská
Kotlina road to the east, a line
approximating the forest line to
the south, and to the west
through the valley Suchá dolina to Biela skala, towards Oravice and
through the valley Tichá dolina up to the Polish border.
TANAP’s charge is to preserve the original condition of the natu−
ral environment through compre−
hensive protection and guidance
for the mountains’ usage for rec−
reation, therapy and sport.
TANAP’s administration, the
state forestry offices, the Tatras
botanical exhibition, research
institute and TANAP museum are
located in Tatranská Lomnica.
The Tatras Mountain Rescue
Service, a branch of the state forestry administration, is based in
Starý Smokovec.
More information about sport and recreation facilities, including
accommodation in the High Tatras can be found on http://
www.region.sk or http://www.tanap.sk
Spiš is one of the most beautiful and distinctive of Slovak regions
90 km apart from Košice. Thanks to its magnificent scenery and an
abundance of cultural and historical sights it is also one of the most
attractive for tourists. It is bordered to the west by the High Tatras
and the Belianske Tatras, to the south by the Low Tatras and the
87
Spiš County
Slovenské rudohorie (Slovak Ore
Mountains), and to the north by
Spišská Magura.
Spiš county came into being
in the middle of the 12th century
at the time of King Gejza and of
the German colonisation which
influenced Spiš’s entire history.
Spiš was traversed by important
trade routes secured by castles,
the most important being the
Spiš Castle, the largest medieval
fortress in Slovakia and one of
the most extensive in central Eu−
rope. Together with Spišské Pod−
hradie and Spišská Kapitula it forms an architectural entity
recognised in UNESCO’s World Heritage Registry.
Also well worth a visit is the 13th−century Early Gothic church in the
nearby community of Žehra,
which boasts an attractive profile
and, particularly, an abudance of
esteemed wall paintings. Many
Spiš towns are remarkable for
their architecture.
These include Levoča, with its
Gothic St.James’s Church contain−
ing the tallest Gothic wooden al−
tar in the world by Master Pavol,
Spišská Nová Ves, the central
town of Spiš, and Stará Ľubovňa,
one of the oldest towns in Spiš
region.Dreveník is
the largest travertine
area in Slovakia.
88
Šariš County
Bardejov – an ancient town 80 km on the north of Košice. Included
in UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage Register, Bardejov retains a
Medieval atmosphere which attracts many visitors. The rectangular
town square is an Urban Conservation Area. A look at the renovated
burgher houses on the square, a visit to the magnificent 11th−cen−
tury Church of Saint Egidius with
its original Gothic altars, or to
the Šaris Museum in the building
of the former town hall are all
musts for tourists, while the
Museum's annex on Rhodyho
street has the only exhibition of
icons in Slovakia.
Pieniny
The Pieniny National Park
extends over 2125 hectares near the border
with Poland, northeast of the High Tatras
and north of Košice.
An area with a rich historical and folk ar−
tistic heritage, as well as a distinctive folk−
lore and architecture, it is also exceptional in
its memorable scenery, rocky ridges and rich
flora and fauna. For the discerning tourist the
Pieniny is synonymous with beauty, un−
spoiled scenery and repose. It is an ideal
89
destination for an−
glers and kayakers
alike, and a paradise
for cyclists.
The major land−
mark of the Zamagurie
landscape is the strik−
ing rock formation of
Tri koruny (Three
Crowns, 982 m).
Below this, the riv−
er Dunajec has cut
into the limestone a
narrow gorge with
high rock walls. A gentle trip along on the river on a typical “Goral”
raft makes for a memorable outing.
Well worth a visit, too, is Červený Kláštor (The Red Monastery)
dating from 1319, a National Cultural Site.
Rafter, in traditional folk costume of the “Goral” (mountain peo−
ple – see picture above).
Caves
Slovakia has twelve caves which are open to public, half of them
located in the Eastern Slovakia region. All of them are designated
National Natural Monuments and four – Ochtina Aragonite Cave and
Domica, Gombasek and Jasov Caves – appear on the UNESCO list
of the world’s natural heritage sites.
Located within the Tatra National Park (TANAP), the Belian Cave
is 1 752 m in lengh. The cave boasts calcite waterfalls, pagoda−like
stalagmites and lakes. Eight kinds of bat inhabit the cave and there
is a naturally−formed „music auditorium“ in which concerts are held.
The Dobšiná Ice Cave lies within the Slovenský raj (Slovak para−
dise) National Park and is one of the most famous ice caves in the
world. The ice has a volume of 110
132 m3. In the Great Hall its thick−
ness is as much as 26.5 metres.
Domica Cave lies in the vicin−
ity of the Slovak−Hungarian bor−
der. It is 5 080 metres in lengh
and forms a single entity with
the Baradla Cave in Hungary. A
trip along the underground river
Styx is highly recommended. The
cave is home to 11 kinds of bat.
90
Gombasek Cave in the Slovak Karst is exceptional in its slender
quill−like formations which can be as long as three meters. The cham−
bers are captivating in the fragility of form and coloring of the rich
pigments.
The Jasov Cave near the little town of the same name offers in−
teresting „cathedrals“ and chambers and galleries deepened by
river, pagoda−shaped stalagmites, waterfalls, scallops and
anthodites.
Ochtina Aragonite Cave is a unique phenomenon of subterrane−
an natural beauty that never ceases to amaze visitors with the
wealth and variety of its aragonite ornamentation. In the so−called
„Deep Cathedral“ the lake has a depth of up to 3 metres.
This gorgeous region, which quite deservedly has been recog−
nised and protected as a national park, is indeed a paradise for
visitors. There can be few other places where it is possible to en−
counter within such a small area such an enchantigly varied land−
scape – meadows, chasms, canyons, gorges, plateaux, caves and
waterfalls. Slovak Paradise is an area of exceptional natural beauty,
and of rare flora and fauna. Its elevation is not particulary high (500
– 1 700 m) but negotiating the ravines along the walking trails is
relatively demanding – and a very popular tourist activity.
Among the most beautiful of the ravines are Kyseľ, Sokolia doli−
na, Veľký and Malý Sokol, Piecka and Suchá Belá. One place not to
be missed is a section of the River Hornád where it produced a
canyon known as Prielom Hornádu. The fierce current of the Hornád
is impeded by rock faces falling directly into the river itself, and
negotiating this requires great skill.
Slovak Paradise is rich in caves and chasms. The most significant
is the Stratená jaskyňa system, which in−
cludes Stratená jaskyňa itself – at 18.5 km,
the longest cave in Slovakia − the Psie diery
cave and the Dobšinská Ice Cave.
Slovak Paradise includes 177 caves and
chasms, 16 state reserves and numerous oth−
er unique natural attractions.
