Museum of Orava Village

Reviewed By frytapl - Chorzow, Poland

We've been there in July 2019. It's a really great place to spend day with your family. XVIII and XIX century buildings were transported there from whole Orava region - it's a great history lesson. Beautiful location almost in West Tatras is huge value as well. Restaurant next to the entrance is serving delicious food!

Janosikove Diery

Janosikove Diery Gorge is one of the most beautiful hiking trails not only within National Park Mala Fatra, but the whole Slovakia and Central Europe. It is located in nature reservation Rozsutce and the valley river is forming numerous waterfalls and rocky formations. The hiking in this valley is possible via imposant wooden bridges and ladders.

Janosikove Diery is very beautiful and dangerous place in Slovakia. You have to be prepared. Dont mind others walking around in the sport shoes, because there are more than one way to discover this beautiful place. Keep in mind, its deep in the forests, so temperature is lower than everywhere else, plus constant humidity makes some places quite challenging. Proceed slowly and take your time (and breath). Gorgeous views are waiting for you. You can travel with small children if carried in the carriage. Some parts are accessible only via ladders and due to humidity, they are slippery. Think your way trough before start, get a map and pick the track you think you can conquer. Take as many charged batteries for your camera and video camera as you can carry. No regrets over 100+ photos and 20+ videos I made. Even if not recommended, I drank the water from the well. I live, so you will too.

Visiting these caves was an amazing experience. Even though I don't speak Slovak, I downloaded English info online to read during the tour which was helpful but most of the time, I spent gazing around the magnificent cave system in awe of its beauty!

Strecno Castle

Reviewed By igorC73si - Slovenian Littoral Region, Slovenia

During our trip through Slovakia we stopped to visit Strecno Castle. We had a fortune to reach the castle by the cable raft over the near river that was an experience with for the kids (2,5,8). Ti get to the castle there are app 20 min. of easy walking from the working situated on the river side. On the way to the castle there is a very small etno village with a kids playground. At the time of our visit n the village was held the presentation of medieval blacksmith shop, decoration and jewelry production and some more things. The castle is visitable only as a guided tour... In the visiting group we were the only English speaking visitors, the guide was very kind and after the general explanation in every room / part of the castle dedicated some time to us to and replied to all our questions. after the visit he gave us a lot of valid suggestions for some other sightseeing. There was made a lot of work on the renovation, the castle offers a lot of interesting things to see, with some amazing panoramic view. At the time of our visit in a chapel a musician had a performance on the harp. It was one of the most wonderful experience during our visit to Slovakia will recommend to all medieval history lovers.

This is definitely a must-see for every tourist. Entry to two houses with expositions is only 3€ per person and it’s possible to get a guide as well. The houses inside depicts traditional life in a Slovak village, interesting facts and items.
