Slovakia is a Central European country bordered by the Czech Republic to the northwest, Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, and Austria to the southwest.
Slovakia has been inhabited since prehistoric times and has undergone many transformations as a nation under the rule of various countries throughout its long history. As a result of this historical background, Slovakia is home to buildings of various architectural styles, including well-preserved medieval castles such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site Spiš Castle. For Japanese people accustomed to wooden architecture, it might feel like stepping into a fantasy world.
If you visit Slovakia, which is blessed with abundant nature, be sure to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst Caves," which also extends into Hungary. These ice caves, said to have formed over 250,000 years ago during the Ice Age, are magnificent natural formations of grand scale.
Slovakia offers the opportunity to enjoy both human history and natural history.
