Slovakia is a small country of 49,036 km² with a maximum length from west to east (from Záhorská Ves to Nová Sedlica) of 428 km and a width from north to south varying between 78 and 195 km (from Štúrovo in the south to Skalité in the north). The country shares 265 km of border with the Czech Republic, 127 km with Austria in the west, 679 km with Hungary in the south, 98 km with Ukraine in the east and 597.5 km with Poland in the north. Nestled in the heart of Europe, Slovakia, despite its size, is full of treasures: a natural heritage with nine national parks for the greatest pleasure of hikers, an ecosystem that preserves a particularly rich vegetation and animal life of which bears, wolves and lynxes are the symbol, a historical heritage with many castles and especially unique wooden churches, especially in the east of Slovakia, fruit of the tumultuous history of the country.
