Wild camping is legal. There seem to be bears and wolves in the nature, but apparently it has been more than a 100 years since they attacked a person.

Safety
Slovakia is a safe country to cycle at.
Traffic

Food and drink
Dumplings are a local speciality, as in more neighbouring countries.
**
Supermarkets**
Supermarkets can be found in the larger towns. The shops are not always sufficiently stocked outside the larger towns. Coop supermarkets can be found in almost all smaller villages. All basic products are present here.
Restaurants
The food in restaurants is cheap, but the choice is often limited.
Drinkable water
Tap water seems to be reliable.

Best time to cycle
In the mountains it can rain a lot in summer, however, it's probably the best time to cycle in Slovakia.
Spare parts
In the cities of Bratislava and Kosice there are bicycle shops where the latest parts are sold. In smaller places, the offer is less.
