The unique family park Strachankovo in the goral village of Ždiar under the Belianske Tatras is the right place for relaxation, fun and adventures for children and parents. Except for interesting wooden climbing frames, an air bounce house and a jumping bag, a real goral farm with live animals awaits you, which you can feed and play with. You can also look forward to the original Magic Forest with wooden fairy-tale houses, thematic swings, and crawl tunnels. For the most curious, we have also prepared an educational journey, during which they could learn something new about our region and try to uncover the secret of the Ždiar Legend.
If you get hungry, we recommend a snack in our Terasa buffet or roast something good on the fire – you don’t need to bring anything with you, you can arrange everything directly with the service.
Do you like history and are you interested in why there are unique painted houses in Ždiar? Then we definitely recommend a visit to the museum in the Ždiar House. The building was built according to the pattern of traditional wooden houses from Ždiar from the beginning of the 20th century. Together with an engaging presentation, you have a unique opportunity to experience a Ždiar wedding or dress up in period costume. Among the accompanying events offered are horse-drawn carriage rides and tasting of local specialties.
The treetop walkway is in Bachledova dolina, which is 2 kilometres from Ždiar. It is located in the heart of the forests of the Pieniny National Park and will show you the uniqueness of the nature of Spišská Magura. The length of the trail is 600 meters, during which you will become a part of a colourful mixed forest. The highest point of your walk will be the 32-meter-high tower, from where you will see amazing panoramas of the Belianske Tatras, Pieniny and Zamagurie Region. You can learn about the life of the local forests on the large number of information boards located along the trail.
This cave is the largest and at the same time the only accessible cave in the Tatra National Park. It is located in the village of Tatranská Kotlina, which is 7 kilometres from Ždiar. The entrance to it is at the foot of Kobylí Vrch and is accessible by a path leading from the village. Of the total length of 3.5 kilometres, a 1370-meter-long route is open to the public and it will take you 70 minutes to finish. As visitors, you will be attracted by drop formations or many cave lakes. It is interesting that the Belianska Cave is among the first caves in Europe in which electric light was introduced.
The original form of the Hunting Lodge has been preserved to this day. It served as a residence for the Prussian prince Christian Kraft von Hohenlohe, after whom the thematic room in the Grand Hotel Bachledka Strachan is named. The premises of the castle were used for years by the highest representatives of the communist regime. Many artifacts from the castle are preserved, but some “disappeared” before 1989. During the summer season, admission is possible every Thursday, except for public holidays.
