Nature

Liptov has one of the most picturesque sceneries in Slovakia. Thanks to the uniqueness of its natural attractions and richness of cultural-historical monuments, Liptov is one of the most attractive areas of Slovakia. In the north it borders with Veľká Fatra, Chočské Hills ridge and the ridge of West Tatras. The Low Tatras ridge is the South border of Liptov and Veľká Fatra ridge is the West border. The rivers Black and White Váh originate in Liptov, the confluence of which creates the longest Slovak river Váh. Hiking and cycling in the summer and downhill and cross-country skiing in the winter are the biggest attractions for visitors of Liptov. If we add to this the underground treasures of several caves open to the public and numerous springs of healing mineral and thermal waters, as well as the Liptovská Mara reservoir, the natural picture of Liptov is almost perfect.
