Slovakia may be small, but this petite product of the breakup of Czechoslovakia just 20 years ago proves that when it comes to countries, size isn’t everything. Within its borders, Slovakia is home to majestic, craggy Tatra Mountains, rolling lowland wilderness and swathes of dense forest ready to be hiked. Tradition and history are rife here as fairytale castles, folkloric villages and ancient ruins cover the country and crumbling fortresses tower over medieval towns.
