Upper Zemplín

Upper Zemplín is the most eastern region of Slovakia. The region borders on Poland in the north and with Ukraine in the east. The typical Carpathian landscape with original virgin forest and rare fauna spreads in the north of the region. It offers intact nature, extensive oasis of silence with far-reaching views and picturesque little villages in the region of the Eastern Carpathian Mountains (Východné Karpaty).

Numerous Orthodox and Greek Catholic wooden churches of high cultural and historic value adorn the region.

The most visited tourist localities of the Upper Zemplín are the water reservoir Domaša, National Park of Poloniny, as well as the Protected Landscape Area of Vihorlat and Eastern Carpathians (Východné Karpaty). Medzilaborce with unique Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art is one of its interesting towns.
