HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm hosting people in Bratislava and I can also help you to find out the way for cognition and enjoying of Slovakia. I organize CS meetings and events as well. I can take you for a hike to Malé Karpaty mountains near Bratislava, some options: Záruby - 768 m = the highest hill of Malé Karpaty, we can go from Smolenice (difficulty: medium, elevation: 557 m, takes about 4 hours, 13 km) and also visit ruins of castle Ostrý Kameň (576 m). Other intersting places worth of visiting close to Smolenice are Smolenice castle from 14th century and Driny Cave. Vysoká - 754 m = 2nd highest hill of Malé Karpaty, we can go from Kuchyňa (difficulty: medium, elevation: 534 m, takes about 6 hours, 22 km) or from Vývrat (possible in 2 or 3 hours) and if we have all day we can come back through Zochova chata and visit the castle Červený Kameň as well. Vápenná - 752 m = 3rd highest hill of Malé Karpaty, we can go from Plavecké Podhradie (difficulty: medium, elevation: 542 m, takes about 5 hours, 17 km) and visit also the ruins of castle Plavecký hrad (400 m) from 13th century. Pajštún - 486 m = ruins of castle, we can go from Marianka or Borinka (difficulty: easy, takes about 1 and half hour) or from Rača = place where I live (takes about 4 or 5 hours). Or what about going to Gerlach (2654.4 m - the highest peak of Slovakia) in High Tatras ? :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE CS Ambassador (living in Bratislava) since 20th August 2011 CS Travels and people who has hosted me: /////////// Austria: Salzburg -
