Slovakia in August – Bratislava, Štrbské Pleso & Banská Bystrica

Hello! I'm Mehmet, 30, from Istanbul (Turkey). Slovakia has been on my list for years – now it's becoming concrete: in August 2027 I have 9 days off and am planning a hiking trip with stops in Bratislava, Štrbské Pleso, Banská Bystrica, and a few other stops. Interests on site: hiking, mountains, castles. Accommodation preferably a guesthouse, no package tours, no tightly scheduled program. I like to plan roughly and leave days open, enjoy getting up early and having a coffee with a view. Linguistically, I can manage Turkish/English. Looking for a like-minded travel buddy for the whole time or for individual sections. Feel free to write to me if you're interested!
