Get carried away by the beauties of nature of Poľana – the highest and most preserved volcano in Central Europe. Poľana underwent three phases of volcanic activity. Its last eruption scattered the original volcanic cone, which was similar in size to Mount Kilimanjaro. It has created a huge crater which, even after millions of years, is still clearly legible in maps and in the country as a caldera with a perimeter of more than 23 kilometers. It is really still an untouched corner of Slovakia, included in the UNESCO biosphere reserves.
DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF FORESTS, MEADOWS AND ROCKS OF POĽANA WITH LOCAL ENVIRONMENTALIST JANKA:
- On the first day we ascend to the top of Poľana walking along narrow paths around the perimeter of the crater. We will discover the ancient top forests of this volcanic mountain range, which are still inhabited by bears, wolves, lynx, but also lesser-known but even more interesting species of animals. We get to know the connections between trees, mushrooms and small insects and the habitat they form together. We will see how new life is created on old trees and that seemingly dead wood is full of life.
- On the second day we will continue to the caldera – the inside of an ancient volcano. We will explore several interesting rock formations and mountain meadows, after which Poľana got its name. We will also talk about the fact that not every human activity is necessarily negative for nature.
We will sleep in a cottage under the peak of the wild Poľana. Pets are welcome.
- Original price: 278€
- Early bird price until the 17 July: 139€
