Sutovy Waterfalls

Sutovy Waterfalls

After two days of tremendous rains, we decided to make the walk to some waterfalls just outside a small town, Sutovy. We took a bus to this little town l.30 € for each of us. It was about forty minute to Sutovy. We stopped at several towns along the way.

At Sutovy, we start walking in the direction of the sign pointing the way. We leave the town, pass some beautiful green hills, and come to another sign that points to a paved road into the woods. At a parking lot, we read a sign about this being on of the Slovak National Parks.

So now we start our walk, which is not too strenuous, but should take us 1 ½ hours to get to the falls. It takes Gary and Jeannine about 2 ½ hours to get there. About two thirds the way there, the path is not paved. Furthermore, the ground is saturated and the path is running water. Not too bad, but definitely wet and we try to walk out of the water. I think that is one of the reasons that we are so slow. However, many people pass us and they have children with them.


We do make it to the falls and they are well worth the walk. After some pictures we decide that we better head down to Sutovy to make the last bus of the day back to Martin. All day it has been cloud and sometimes threatened to rain. Yet we never got more than a few drops.

We made it in time to get a drink buy some water, and just barely caught the bus. As we’re counting our change, to pay for the ride home, the bus driver must turn on the windshield wipers, because it is now raining.

We had a day full of happenings and blessings.
