Let’s not pursue meaningless luxury. We want to create a relaxing atmosphere for our guests in the heart of nature. You will feel it the most when you sit on the front porch of the chalet in the evening and watch the sun set behind the majestic peaks of the High Tatras.
This feeling, which we also call God’s peace, is priceless.
I became an entrepreneur many years ago. For me, it has never been about duty, but about freedom and choice. Today my whole family is in the hotel business. Whatever we embark on, we do with enthusiasm and love. Our family-run Pension Malý Majer Podlesok® is no exception.
Near the village of Hrabušice, in the Podlesok recreational area, we have built a cozy country estate, surrounded by pastures, beautiful nature and ravines of the Slovak Paradise National Park.
My daughter Lenka is an excellent cook and takes care of the Rumanka Restaurant with devotion, which is located right in Podlesok, just a few minutes walk from Malý Majer. Hundreds of tourists taste her delicious dishes every day.
No matter how you spend your day – at Restaurant Rumanka you will always find friendly and helpful staff and homemade dishes that remind you of our mothers’ cuisine.
Gradually, our area has expanded to include the Salaš, which is a faithful replica of the original 19th-century building. The Salaš is built using the original technology of spruce wood and every visitor is captivated by the precise details, carving ornaments and period fittings… such craftsmanship is hard to see today. The chalet is a popular place for an evening barbecue in a closed company with a view of the panorama of the High Tatras.
As the years go by, we put our busy lives aside and look at things with a different perspective, through different values. We value time with our family more, we start to seek peace and often pick up hobbies that we somehow didn’t have time for before…
Personally, I’ve taken up more cycling and flying. I built a special airfield Hrabušice – Podlesok LZ HR in the area of Malý Majer for recreational flying enthusiasts. It is one of three special airports in Slovakia, designed for sport and recreational flying.
The airfield is also an interesting transport option for visitors of the Slovak Paradise. Today it is used by pilots and crews from various countries, especially from the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia. It offers spectacular views of the Slovak Paradise, especially during morning flights at sunrise over the High Tatras and Kralova Hora.
Visit the Malý Majer Podlesok® guesthouse and let us share our passions, hospitality and all the beauty of the Spiš region.
