Hairpins, Freedom, and Starlink: Three Best Caravan Routes in Slovakia
Original source: Pravda.sk

Slovakia is experiencing a caravanning boom, driven by technology and a desire for autonomy. For beginners, the Spiš-Gemer-Malohont route offers developed infrastructure; for experienced travelers, Orava and Liptov provide mountain challenges; and for adventurers, the wild east from Bardejov to Michalovce offers pristine nature. Slovak law permits wild camping only above 1000 meters altitude and requires strict adherence to environmental rules.

New rest area with showers and laundry planned on Slovakia's D1 motorway

A large category B rest area is to be built on the under-construction D1 motorway section between Hubová and Ivachnová. It will feature 42 parking spaces for cars, 49 for trucks, 8 for buses, and 2 for caravans, plus 6 EV charging points. Facilities for truck drivers include toilets, showers, a laundry, a kitchenette, and a ramp for removing snow and ice from vehicle roofs. Families will have a children's playground, rest areas, and a dog run. The motorway section is expected to open by September 2025, but the rest area's completion date is not yet set.
