Slovak Paradise National Park Closes All Gorges Due to Debris Concerns

Slovak Paradise National Park authorities have closed all gorges within the protected area due to safety hazards caused by accumulated driftwood and debris. The park administration made the decision to restrict access to the popular hiking destinations, which feature distinctive ladder routes through narrow rocky gorges. Slovak Paradise, located in eastern Slovakia, is renowned for its unique canyon hiking trails that attract thousands of visitors annually with their dramatic waterfalls and metal ladder systems that allow hikers to navigate steep terrain.
