Stratenský
kanyon:
The
path
through
the
canyon
was
built
by
the
German
prince
Ferdinand
Juraj
Coburg
due
to
the
development
of
local
business
activities
in
mining
and
especially
in
metallurgy.
Among
other
things,
he
owned
a
smelter
in
nearby
Stratená.
The
road
was
completed in 1840 and included 8 bridges of the Hnilec river and the remarkable Skalná brána, which unfortunately has not been preserved.

The
main
attraction
of
canyon
named
The
Stone
Castle
on
the
picture.
Admittance
to
the
canyon
is
possible
from
both
sides,
the
best
is
from
Stratená
village
-
there
is
good
parking
place
there.
The
beginning
and
the
end
of
canyon
is
directly
by
the
beginning
and
the
end
of
the
tunnel
for
cars.

historical
photos
of
Skalná
brána
(Stone
gate)
in
Stratenský
kanyon.
Through
war
it,
unfortunately,
that
sad
fate
-
after
the
suppression
of
Slovak
national
uprising
the
partisans
decided
to
this
“tunnel”
to
blow
up,
to
prevent
the
inflow
of
heavy
German
military
equipment
from
Brezno.
It
is
very
hard
to
consider,
if
this
decision
was
right
or
not,
the
priority
was
all
different
in
that
time
as
about
protect
nature
or
architectural
monuments.
But
this
demola-
tion
not
turn
out
well,
but
after
the
war
was
this
gate
because
of
explosion
so
unstable,
that
it
had
to
be
definitive
liquidated.

Stratenský
kaňon:
This
noose,
created
by
the
Hnilec
river,
“levels
out”
in
r.
1972
built
a
tunnelfor
cars.
Since
then,
the
canyon
is
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists
only.
There
is
no
need
to
wait
here
some
extreme
experience
as
in
gorges
of
Slovak
Paradise, but it is a very pleasant walk. Traffic here is not large, so an ideal place for moments of perfect well-being.

Hard
to
say,
who
it
should
ensure
(first
Stratená

but
surely
this
pleasant
walk
benefit
if
at
least
one
-
two
suitable
locations
