Sninský Kameň
Snina, Prešov Region
Twin volcanic rock towers rising abruptly from the Vihorlat forest, climbed by steel steps to a platform over an unbroken sea of trees. It sits among Eastern Slovakia's mountains and is best walked in fair weather (ideally May – October) — bring sturdy shoes, water and time to enjoy the views.
Zemplínska Šírava
Michalovce, Košice Region
The 'Eastern Sea' — a 33 km² reservoir below the Vihorlat hills with beaches, sailing and some of the warmest swimming water in Slovakia. Part of Eastern Slovakia's outdoors, it's most rewarding in good weather around June – September, with easy walking and plenty to photograph.
Michalovce & Zemplín Museum
Michalovce, Košice Region
The Zemplín region's main town, its Sztáray manor holding a museum of local archaeology and folk life, and the base for Šírava and the Vihorlat. Set in Eastern Slovakia, it rewards an unhurried visit — its walls, views and local history, with cafés or a village nearby to round out the trip; May – September is the pleasantest time to come.
