Story: Slovensko - srdce Europy

Slovensko je malá, ale veľmi pekná krajina, ktorá sa nachádza priamo v srdci Európy.

Približne v centre Slovenska je malá dedina, ktorá sa volá Krahule, a tá je zo zemepisného hľadiska srdcom Európy. Preto sa hovorí, že Slovensko je srdcom Európy. 

Slovensko je približne také veľké ako Pennsylvania a má okolo päť a pol miliónov obyvateľov. Slovensko nemá more, ale má iné prírodné krásy: vysoké, skalnaté hory, hlboké údolia, dlhé vodopády, tmavé lesy, zelené lúky, modré jazerá, dravé rieky, horúce pramene, liečivé vody, krasové a ľadové jaskyne. 

Ak chcete, presvedčte sa sami; navštívte Slovensko, Slovenské národné parky, prírodné rezervácie, turistické centra, alebo svetovo známe kúpele, ktoré každý rok prilákajú mnohých domácich aj zahraničných turistov.
