[Slovakia] UNESCO Heritage Sites of Slovakia
Bajaja
Series of 4 stamps (rationale, sites are 8, some of them hard to put on a stamp):
1) Banská Štiavnica - an important medieval silver mining site. Stamp design - either Calvary (a small church on top of the hill, the most characteristic sight) or the Trinity column on the Trinity square
2) Levoča and The Spiš Castle - either the castle ruins, largest complex in Central Europe, or a detail from the beautiful gothic Levoca altar by Master Paul
3) Bardejov city centre - an aerial view as on the photo?
Or a detail from a Slovak Karst cave if someone can transfer this to a stamp...
4) Carpathian Wooden Churches - one of the churches, I propose Hervartov - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hervartov_dreveny_kostelik_Slovakia_3834.JPG
or Saint Michael -

Not UNESCO world heritage but interesting and unique
Stone Waterfall
Šiatorská Bukovinka, Slovakia
Inside the Šomoška National Nature Reserve exists a unique rock formation rarely seen in the world.
NOT FAR FROM ŠOMOŠKA CASTLE, RESIDES a 30 foot (9 meters) high stone “waterfall” composed of hexagonal basalt pillars. This unique rock formation formed around four million years ago when basalt lava hardened into these unique columns. It’s the only example of this beauty in the region, and is
only one of seven found in the world
Not far from this geological wonder is the stone “sea,” an area filled with shards that have cascaded from the formation. Similar stones were also used to build the nearby castle.

mapuo: Stone waterfall in Slovakia, Salgotarjan in Hungary :-) Complex situation, it is the same region but let's not confuse Slowly.

I think that this is a really good idea and I support it! I especially love the architectural designs of the Carpathian Wooden Church, Hervartov, and Saint Michael. How unique and original! All four ideas would be depicted beautifully on Slowly stamps!
