etc.
Along the Vertical Transect: July 5 - 12, 2003

B. CULTURAL AND RELAXATION
- From the very beginning, we have been
providing scientific excursion participants with an opportunity to
supplement and enrich the main scientific dimension of the programme by
visits to the most exciting Slovak cultural sites. Our to - date experience
is that excursion participants welcome and appreciate
"sendwiching" scientific programme with cultural aspects. More
