Prielom Hornádu

One of the most beautiful and most famous canyons in Slovakia. It leads from Hrdlo Hornádu at Podlesok near the village Hrabušice to the bridge at Maša in Smižany. Challenging, but unforgettable passage along the marked hiking trail is made accessible by metal bridges and footbridges, climbing irons, ladders and steps. There is an educational trail of the same name, too.

Since the summer 2016, the popular rafting of the Hornád river has been open to the public. Paddlers can once again enjoy the waterway in one of the most attractive parts of the National Park.  The Hornád river penetrates the bottom of a dep canyon with high steep walls and creates a section that is unparalleled for rafting and also landcapewise not only in Slovakia, but also in neighbouring countries. Unforgettable experience of rafting through the territory with the highest level of nature protection is guaranteed.

In case of severe winter and safe thickness of ice, you can replace the adrenaline hike across the steps over the river Hornád by a walk, cross-country skiing or ice-skating on the frozen river surface.
