Treehouse stays in Slovakia

Going up to bed rather than down the hall changes the whole evening. In a treehouse you sleep raised among the trees, at the level of branches and leaves, with the wind moving through the woods around you. Slovakia's beech, oak and spruce forests make a natural setting for such places. Each treehouse here is a real place to sleep set in or among trees, though how it is built, reached and laid out differs from one to the next.

Morning in the canopy

Waking to birdsong close by and light filtered through leaves is the point of the stay. The ground is somewhere below, and nothing is urgent.

Held by the woods

The charm of a treehouse lies less in its rooms than in where they are: up among the trees, where the forest itself becomes part of the space.
