9.Slovakia Treetop Walk and Thermal Baths

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · from $214

“Wasn't quite what we had hoped for. We only had an hour for the treetop walk, which means that you can start walking almost immediately and come back down quickly. You have to buy a ticket upstairs for the slide. Then to the Thermal Baths. It was VERY busy here because of the holidays. Really not recommended during the holiday period. The provider cannot do anything about it. Therefore we did not go to the salt cave or sauna. More the vibe of an ordinary swimming pool than a thermal bath. There is a bar in the outdoor pool where alcohol is served and loud music is played, not really…”
