Lačnov canyon

Hi

Today we will go to see nature together. What do you say? Our steps are heading towards the Branisko mountain range. In addition to other attractions that I am going to visit here, there is a nice canyon that I have not been to yet.

We welcome you to the Lačnovský canyon. This is written on the wooden entrance gate, which always respectfully greets every tourist. It's a really nice welcome and I was quite pleased. The Branisko Mountains are located quite close to the Slovak Paradise National Park, which is very popular with tourists. And so the beauties that are found here are somewhat secluded.

After a short walk through the forest, we arrive at a large meadow. There is a buffet here, which is open on weekends. There is a mobile kitchen parked on the meadow, in which those interested can cook, for example, goulash.

Trout are bred in the pond located here. This clearing is an ideal place to relax in nature with children.

In addition to feasting in the local buffet, you can see such an interesting rock formation.

However, we continue further into the forest. After walking for a while, we come to the first ladders and the waterfall.

The Lačnovský stream created a 2-kilometer long canyon here, which includes several waterfalls and cascades.

In places we walk along the stream bed. The rocks are slippery and we have to be careful with every step. But exactly such conditions must be in the gorges. Wet and slippery.

Lačnovský canyon is part of the Kamenná baba nature reserve. It is an area of European importance that extends in the Branisko mountains and its smaller part is located in Bachurni.

There are several bizarre stone formations on the territory of Kamenná baby. There are also several caves that provide a home and refuge for bats. I plan to visit the caves and I believe I will write about them next time.

We climb upstream and enjoy the beautiful environment and clean mountain air.

I can't say that it would be a difficult hike, although each of us would probably evaluate it differently according to our abilities. For me, it's a pleasant walk through the forest, next to a stream with occasional steep climbs.

We leave the gorge on a meadow and after the last climb we arrive at the mountain village of Lačnov. It is a traditional, beautiful, preserved mountain village, the likes of which are not many. It is declared a monument reserve. Only ten inhabitants live here.

We found this beauty parked here.

That's enough hiking for today. We return back to the car and back to our daily duties.

Thank you
