An adventure expedition through nature: become an explorer!

Do you have curious explorers at home? The Slovak Museum of Nature Protection and Speleology is a great place where children can experience nature in a way they will never forget. They can model the landscape with their own hands, crawl into a lair like a bear, or discover the "singing of minerals". And this is just the beginning of the adventure. The museum will also interest parents. Visitors often say that such a museum has no competition in our country!

View with a bonus: augmented reality

The climb to the top of Háj is not only about beautiful panoramas of the Tatra mountains. Thanks to the Objav Lesopark application, children can complete tasks and look for animals in augmented reality during the journey. With such a guide, they will manage the climb without a single complaint - and you will have the opportunity to enjoy nature to the fullest. The educational trail starts at the entrance to Forest Park Háj Nicovô, its length is 1.3 km and the elevation gain is 140 m. Return along the same trail. You can download the Objav Lesopark application (Discover Forest Park) in advance, otherwise data is required.
There is also an asphalt road leading to the top of Háj, but it is not maintained in winter, so you need to consider its drivability. On the opposite side of forest park is the popular ski resort Petra Vlhová Sport Center - The Podbreziny Area, accessible from the town part Podbreziny.
