It is one of the Hiking places in Slovakia. In Kokai it is already on your trip map next to the places you save yourself, and it goes into a day's plan with one tap.

When to go

The best time to visit Zigovka is May to October.

In June there are 16 h of daylight, and in December, 8 h. Daylight hours are calculated from the site's latitude for the 15th of each month; when planning a full day on foot they matter as much as the weather.

When to go to Slovakia in general, with its festivals and peak seasons, is in its country guide.
