If you're looking for a place where you can take a break from the daily hustle and bustle without getting bored, Donovaly is the right choice. Every day, you can explore new hiking trails, enjoy panoramic views from the cable car, discover the surrounding area by bike, or treat yourself to some well-deserved relaxation at the spa.
Activities for the Whole Family
Donovaly is one of the most popular mountain destinations in Slovakia, thanks in part to its wide range of attractions for families with children.
Hiking enthusiasts can choose from a variety of trails leading through the scenic beauty of the Veľká Fatra National Park and the Low Tatras. A cable car ride to Nová hoľa offers unforgettable views and easy access to other hiking trails.
For cyclists, there are dozens of kilometers of bike trails of varying difficulty. E-bikes are also a popular choice, allowing you to explore the region's beauty comfortably and without unnecessary effort.
A major new addition this season is RIDERS PARK Donovaly, which brings a new dimension to mountain biking. Modern trails and zones for both beginners and experienced riders promise plenty of adrenaline and fun for all ages.
Children are sure to enjoy the Donovaly train, fairy-tale attractions, trampolines, and other experiences that make Donovaly a place families love to return to.
One of the biggest attractions for families is Donovalkovo-a unique children's town where the little ones can explore the adult world in a playful way. Here they'll find their own post office, bank, auto repair shop, hospital, and little stores, and as they play, they learn how everyday life works. Children will be entertained for hours, while parents can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of the mountain resort. Donovalkovo is one of the attractions you definitely shouldn't miss during a family vacation in Donovaly.
