This park is located on the south-east of the High Tatras in the north-eastern part of the mountain range of Slovenské Rudohorie. It is best typified by its impressively deep gorges and canyons 150 – 450 m deep which is created in limestone and dolomite by the water currents. The best known gorges include Suchá Belá, Piecky, Sokol and Kyseľ with numerous waterfalls. The highest point of the Slovak paradise is Mt. Javorina 1186 m.

In the Slovak Paradise there are almost 200 caves and precipices, the ice cave Dobšinská ľadová jaskyňa is listed by UNESCO. The Slovak national park also houses a 21-km-long cave Stratenská jaskyňa which is the longest and largest cave in Slovakia. The river Hornád has created a canyon like valley with side ridges and summits which create more than a 300m altitude difference in some parts. The trails are equipped with iron bridges and benches, almost 300 m of chains on steep rocky walls, 140 metal rungs and almost 70 m of wooden rails.
