This convenient vantage point makes it easy to choose your next destination.
Terchová
This village in the northern Slovakia is the birthplace of Juraj Jánošík, the most famous of Slovak outlaws. It’s the right place to enjoy a plateful of original “halušky”, views over the village or go hiking in the mountains of Malá Fatra.
