A truly unconventional winter attraction that requires a certain amount of courage and strength is ice climbing. Winter in the region Beyond the mountains, beyond the valleys, in the Banská Bystrica Region, is so action-packed that it has even made sure you can test your strength against an icefall.
Ideal conditions for an icefall are provided by Skalka pri Kremnici in the Central Slovakia region. This unique winter attraction, with a length of 20 meters, has “grown” just a few meters from the parking lot and is accessible to the general public.
You can admire both the power and beauty of a natural ice wall in Podpoľanie. The Mačinovský Waterfall, a massive expansive cliff of the original andesite flow, from which water runs down in many places, transforms into a perfect icefall in winter. It creates a unique scenery full of icicles and ice surfaces. You can reach this admirable natural formation from the direction of Kalamárka.
With these winter attractions, it is extremely important to follow the operators’ safety instructions and respect the current weather conditions.
Conquer the ice wall and enjoy your adrenaline-filled ice climbing in the Banská Bystrica Region.
