The Countryside
Posted by Margarete on 08 August 2007
Depending where you are in Slovakia, the landscape varies. Mainly there is the mountainous north, rolling hills that gradually slope south towards the Danube, and plenty of forests throughout the country. The pictures below capture a range of environments throughout various seasons.

Hi, Just to say it was a nice surprise when I came across your website, I was even more pleased when I saw some pictures from/or around Zlate Moravce, that's very close to my village - Slazany. Made me feel good. I enjoyed reading your blogs, made me laugh, especially the one about 'hard alcohol' how funny and true. Well done. Zuzi

I have found family in Slovakia only in recent years. I visited 3 years ago in Bratislava, Holic and Kopcany. We took a trip through the High Tatras to Banska-Bystrica and the countryside and historic sites were simply indescribable. The country and people, especially my cousins, captured my heart and I felt I'd come home. I would like to come back and spend a lengthy time again to explore and acquaint myself with my family again as our trip was very hurried. We correspond frequently and I feel a very strong pull to return one day. Thank you for your book and blog. Carol
