Photos of Slovakia 2



		Here is my good friend Erika, gas company employee, rock club owner - and now mother! Here she is in the Slovensky Raj (Slovak Paradise) a wonderful natural area that has not only bears but wolves as well! As much as possible the trails are natural, using wood and occasionally metal ladders to help you climb up a ravine.
		The hiking trails are very well organised and as you enter the park you pay 25 crowns, less than a dollar, for the upkeep of the trails. Still, the area is wild enough to keep most tourists away so you won't see crowds of burger-eating people throwing their cans into the river.
		Here I am, hiking half way up a narrow gorge. It is exhilirating climbing up a gorge as the water thunders down around you. How safe are those wooden ladders? I didn't fall in once.
		Make sure you bring hiking boots as it can get pretty wet. You'll just need one 1:50,000 scale map of the area with the hiking trails marked on it. These are colour coded which correspond to colours marks along the hiking trails.
