Gemer and the Slovak Karst
Rožňava makes a good base for a whole week
Rožňava lies beside the Slovak Karst National Park. The caves around it are on the UNESCO World Heritage list: Domica, Gombasek, Krásna Hôrka, the Ochtinská Aragonite Cave and the Dobšinská Ice Cave. Head north for the Slovak Paradise, east for Krásna Hôrka castle, and Betliar manor is only a few kilometres out of town.
Zlatka gives the best tips. “They answered lots of questions at least as well as the tourist office,” wrote Helena Šilhavá (translated from Czech).
