Detox on Horehronie in rural Slovakia with complete program
335,00 €
Slovakia is not one of the countries everybody’s been to. You will discover hundreds of rarities and wonders in every village or small town, in the mountains and in the valleys. It is in Slovakia and in the Horehronie region particularly where you’ll feel like a real explorer, discovering beautiful scenery and almost untouched land. In Horehronie you will experience the local way of life and expand your connection with nature.
Are you tired and do you need detox, relax, slow down, and recharge with energy from nature? This holiday in Slovakia, or so called ‘detox’, lasts from Thursday evening until Sunday (3,5 days) and will cleanse your mind from stresses and worries. The whole program is already planned and is included in price, alleviating the need to spend time organising a program or deciding what and where to eat. You just need to come to Čierny Balog and open yourself up to adventure, experience culture with us, with locals, and surrounded by vibrant nature.

If you are determined to travel with us, the fastest and most convenient way is to fill in the Travel Agreement (the application form) via the Internet. You can find it directly on our website at www.localvibe.sk. Each participant must complete it by itself, being responsible for the correctness of the data provided in the application. CK Local Vibe is not responsible for any errors. After the order, the payment information and the travel contract will be sent to you within 24 hours. The trip is obligatorily ordered after receiving the payment.
Yes, a guide that speaks Slovak, English, and perhaps another language.
By booking a tour and credited your amount to our account, you have a seat secured. In case, min. 20 days prior to the start of the trip, the minimum number of participants (4 or more) is not reached, we will suggest a new trip or we will refund you the money.
Yes, you can conclude a travel insurance with UNION insurance company through us. If you are interested in such a service, please mark it on your online tour application form. You can decide for a comprehensive insurance package or just a partial package.
We recommend a comprehensive insurance package for clients on the roads in Slovakia, including other risks such as luggage insurance, cancellation of stay, general liability, accident insurance, early return and unused services, cost of technical assistance for a rescue operation of EUR 1 per day.
Minimum travel insurance for general liability and accident insurance of EUR 0.30 per day (other services are not included).
If you are traveling abroad, we recommend to all our clients to make comprehensive travel insurance. Insurance costs EUR 2 per day and includes the following insurance risks:
Insurance of medical expenses abroad, assistance services abroad, baggage insurance, general liability for damage, cancellation of the holiday, unduly paid holiday, increased back-up costs, escort, early return, insurance of the cost of travel of a close person, in the case of a child’s illness, in the case of a non-road vehicle, delay of the means of mass transport, delayed embarkation, technical assistance in the rescue operation).
Unfortunately no. In order to use UNION insurance, you need to work or live in Slovakia, meaning you are covered by mandatory Slovak health insurance.
If you are a person living and working abroad, you need to conclude a comercial insurance in your country of residence. I’m sure, you won’t have problem to find a company offering commercial travel insurance. In case of any issues or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us on info@localvibe.sk.
If your clients already have some travel insurance (such as insurance along with a credit / debit card), you do not need additional individual insurance. However, it is important to find out which risks you are insured, what are the insurance sums and compare this with the comprehensive travel insurance offered by our travel agency.
The fundamental difference is that EHIC covers only medical expenses abroad, while commercial travel insurance (eg UNION) involves much more insurance risks (health insurance abroad, assistance services, luggage, liability for damage, injury, cancellation fee, unreported holiday, increased costs for return transfer, escort, early return, costs for travel of close person, costs of a child’s illness, costs of a non-road vehicle, delay of a transport vehicle, delayed embarkation on your holiday as well as technical assistance in rescue).
Nor is the scope of insurance coverage for medical treatment abroad the same for both types of insurance (for example, EHIC only applies to state-owned healthcare facilities, where the patient’s participation is the same as that of a national of a particular country. Commercial insurance is valid in both state and private healthcare facilities without a contribution up to the amount of the insurance sum. It means, that some risks are better covered by EHIC and others by commercial insurance). We therefore strongly recommend the combination of both insurance, ie to negotiate a complex travel insurance at tour operator and to take EHIC with you as well. EHIC can be issued free of charge at your health insurance company or you have it already on the reverse side of your health insurance card.
The difference is in the scope of insurance.
Higher amount, ie 2,00 EUR/day (within Europe) or 1,00 EUR/day (within Slovakia) includes comprehensive travel insurance. The lower amount, 0,70 EUR/day (within Europe) and 0,30 EUR/day (within Slovakia), there is only insurance of medical expenses abroad in Europe, assistance services and liability for damages. In Slovakia, it only provides insurance for liability for damage and accident insurance.
Cheaper insurance clients use mainly for cheaper daily trips. We highly recommend comprehensive travel insurance for longer trips.
The travel contract also serves as a confirmation of your insurance. All will be handled online and you will receive pdf files. On request, we can print out the contract for you.
If you have an idea of the place you want to visit and the way to explore it, find the most suitable trip for you and do so as soon as the places for the tours are limited.
The easiest way to pay is via bank transfer to our account (listed in the contact, in the billing data). Please indicate the order number as a variable symbol. We are also currently working on card payments or Paypal, but at the moment it is still not possible and we ask for your patience.
We think we would take away some the exciting part of it, if we told you beforehand. Therefore, we will not inform you in advance and you will be able to get acquainted during your stay.
Personal expenses are a matter for every passenger and are not included in the price of the trip. The amount of pocket money varies depending on the country, type and length of your trip and your needs. However, take a certain amount of cash with you if a payment terminal is not available at the location, or it will be small amounts that will not be accepted by the card. If you are frequent user of credit cards, you will succeed in most countries with Master Card and Visou. However, we recommend that at least half of the money to be taken in cash. At the very least, you avoid problems with ATMs or the absence of payment terminals in less developed regions and in the countryside.
Standardly we provide our clients with 2-bed rooms. However, if you would like to be accommodated in a separate room, please notify us at your request and we will try to meet your expectation, or we will notify you about the extra charge for a single room.
We do not focus on risky tourism, and we send our clients to areas where no or only regular vaccinations are needed.
The majority of our tours include breakfast, lunch and dinner. So please check the itinerary of your trip to check out, when you won’t need to worry about your stomach.
As part of our travel abroad, if you are a citizen of the European Union, you do not need a visa. At the moment, we don’t offer a visa service.
You will be notified of this possibility not later than 20 days before your scheduled departure (by e-mail or post). It does not mean that you have to automatically forget about your vacation. You have a choice of options right away. We offer you an alternate date of the same trip, so you can choose a similar or the same tour. If none of the above solutions suits you, we will refund you your money for not running your trip.

Yes, of course! We do not have the slightest problem to prepare a thematically diverse tour for individual travelers as well as larger groups (romance, adventure, business, congress, teambuilding, …). However, it should be borne in mind that organizing such a trip takes a while (while working together towards a program that will meet all your expectations) and at the same time, the costs will be most probably higher than one of our offered tours on our web.
Therefore, we recommend contacting us for at least 2 months prior to the scheduled holiday leave. We will provide complete service for you, from transport to dinner in the requested location. We will be happy if you could contact us and let us know your idea of a holiday: info@localvibe.sk .
Check-in is possible on the day of arrival from 14:00 (in some hotels until 15:00).
Check-out rooms are required on departure day at latest by 10:00. The luggage will be stored at the reception of the hotel/apartment.
Yes, the local tax is included in the price of the stay.
Since most of the holidays are in Slovakia, we assume that most of you will come with your own car. The best option, apart from a car, is to use public transport such as regular buses or train connections.
For example, you can get from Bratislava to Čierny Balog by regular bus service to Brezno and from there we will pick you up for a fee and transfer to your place of residence.
Here, you can check regular bus and train connections:

A transport via Tour Operator Local Vibe to the holiday place would greatly overprice the trip.
However, if you prefer securing transfer through our company, do not hesitate to contact us at info@localvibe.sk .
Overall Rating
5/5
The weekend at Horehronie in Slovakia with Local Vibe was really great and vibrating. It was particularly good for me to change the ‚concrete jungle‘ of the capital city for a while for a paradise in the heart of nature. And there, we experienced everything - whether adrenaline on bicycles, folk crafts that tested our skills (locals were impressed by our skills), amazing connection with nature, where we experienced the magical experience of whipping the whip, where at the certain place (which only locals know) we had opportunity to experience an echo from seven sides of the surrounding hills and have listened to the sounds. I was very pleased with the flexibility of Renata, who was able to operatively adapt the program exactly as we felt it and, in her hands, everything was suddenly possible. The amazing bonfire that came out exactly during full moon and this was for me a return to the childhood and being at the nature camps 😊. And overall, it was unbelievable fun! It was great that the weekend was not done massively and commercially, but it was sensitively picked to consider client's needs as well, support of local people in the region. I enjoyed it very, very much and I look forward to it again.
