I’ve had a quite busy end of last year and my girlfriend had to work until the 30th of December, so we haven’t planned much for the NYE. My brother had a bungalow booked in Donovaly, Slovakia and we decided to give it a shot and try to get a room about three days before the planned date. To my surprise they stile had some rooms left and after a little bit of haggling we agreed on price and it was all set.

Gothal is located in a lovely little village called Liptovská Osada about 10km drive from Park Snow Donovaly. You can rent a bungalows or a stay in the apartment house Smrek, which we decided to go for as it was just two of us.

Water World that belong to Gothal is an amazing place to refresh after a day skiing the slopes in saunas, whirlpool or swimming pools.

Our plan was to go ski on a New Year but the snowing was so heavy and the visibility was just about 5m, so we gave up. Instead we had great fun with snow boards :)
