A trip to the Tomášovský Výhľad (Tomášovce Lookout)

"Who would enjoy sitting in a room for days and staring at a computer monitor?" grumpy Kaško asked Max one day when he found him sitting in front of the monitor again.
"But you don't understand! I'm playing a cool game where I'm like a lumberjack and I must overcome various obstacles," Max tried to explain to him, but to no avail.
"I'll show you what it's like to be a true lumberjack! Grab your backpack and get ready for a real adventure! If you want to be a lumberjack, you will become one! But first you'll pass the Prielom Hornádu (Hornád Breakthrough), the Tomášovský Výhľad (Tomášovce Lookout), and the Kyseľ Ferrata!"

The trip in brief

You can find the mini-ferrata in the Čingov tourist resort in the Slovenský Raj National Park, which is located about 5 km from Spišská Nová Ves. The Ihla tent camp is situated a few hundred metres away, offering a place for camping, but also the possibility of sleeping in cabins. There are several trails leading to the Tomášovský Výhľad (Tomášovce Lookout), but the most beautiful one is through the Prielom Hornádu (Hornád Breakthrough).

In case your goal is to climb the Kyseľ Ferrata, follow the green signs from the Tomášovský Výhľad (Tomášovce Lookout) through Biely Potok to Kyseľ.

Mini ferrata

The newly opened climbing area with the first children's mini ferrata in Slovakia, up to 77 metres long, is ready for small adventurers in the Slovenský Raj National Park in the Čingov tourist resort. It serves not just for children, but also for all those who want to try ferrata belaying before stepping onto the real big ferrata in the Kyseľ Gorge. You will learn to climb like a spider and have the courage of the most experienced lumberjack there.

Prielom Hornádu (Hornád Breakthrough)

You can climb the footbridges and belay structures installed in the rock right above the Hornád River on the Prielom Hornádu (Hornád Breakthrough) hiking trail. It requires a firm step and a firm hand grip which you will use to hold on to the metal ropes.

Night under the stars


You may spend the night under the stars in the Ihla tent camp located in the Slovenský Raj National Park, in the Čingov tourist centre, or in the new Čingov car camp. .

This fascinating rock block with a length of over 200 m rises above the Hornád River up to a height of 146 metres.
