Spiš — the Gothic kingdom and its UNESCO treasure chest

Beneath the High Tatras lies Slovakia's Gothic kingdom: the Spiš region packs five UNESCO World Heritage sites — Spiš Castle, the walled town of Levoča with Master Pavol's 18-metre altar, Spišská Kapitula, Žehra's frescoed church and the Dreveník travertines — into one day's gentle driving.

Three national parks frame the route (Pieniny, Slovak Paradise and the Tatras themselves), so a Spiš day mixes UNESCO interiors with raft rides and gorge walks — the strongest culture-plus-nature block in the country.
