Where to go on a trip Štiavnička (page 2 of 2)

Stop for a moment in a reality that will literally turn you upside down! The Dom hore nohami in Liptovský Mikuláš is an original attraction that is guaranteed to entertain both young and old. Accessible year-round and fully furnished, this little house stands "roof down" and its interior feels as if everything has been turned inside out. It is located in the immediate vicinity of a well-known water park, making it easy to include in your family trip itinerary. The original intention to cope with frustration over bureaucracy transformed into a popular and highly sought-after place by tourists.

What awaits you inside the Dom hore nohami?

Inside the house you will find everything “ordinary”. A kitchen, dining table, bathroom, and children's room, but in reverse. Everything is attached to the ceiling, and on top of that, the entire house is tilted in two planes. The result is a truly unique experience that will thoroughly test your balance. The youngest visitors will be pleased by fairy-tale characters such as Snow White, the dwarfs, Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf, or Mickey Mouse. The attraction is not large, but thanks to its originality and visual effect, it is one of the most popular "Instagram" spots in the region and you certainly should not miss it during your travels through Liptov.

Visitor information

This original and playful attraction is an ideal choice for families with children, couples, groups of friends, or school trips looking for an unusual experience and fun snapshots for joint photos. The tour itself takes about 20 to 30 minutes and is physically undemanding, although due to the sloped floors and optical illusions, people more sensitive to balance changes may experience mild dizziness. Due to its specific construction and tilted interior, however, the place is not barrier-free, meaning that entry is not suitable for visitors with reduced mobility and movement with a wheelchair or baby stroller is not possible, and entry with a dog is also not recommended due to the nature of the space.

Access, services, and surroundings

The Dom hore nohami is located by the main road in Liptovský Mikuláš, just a few minutes from the well-known water park. Access is easy both by car and on foot, and there is a parking lot (paid) in the surrounding area. Dining services, restrooms, and other attractions for families with children, which you can combine into a full-day program, are available in the immediate vicinity.

If you are planning a trip to Liptov and looking for something unconventional, the Dom hore nohami should definitely not be missing in your itinerary.

Párnica is one of those picturesque villages in Slovakia that can rightfully claim the attribute "a village in the valley." It lies in the valley of the Orava River, surrounded by the peaks of the Malá Fatra mountains and the Oravská vrchovina highlands. And it is precisely this village located in the Dolný Kubín district that has prepared a real time-travel adventure for its visitors. An unconventional museum bearing the name Izba starých materí was opened here. In addition to a unique historical exhibition offering a return to the history of the village, this site can also become the backdrop for your photos or even the venue for your romantic and adventurous night in the museum.

Izba starých materí is the result of a small exhibition of historical artifacts that the village of Párnica organized on the occasion of its 590th anniversary. This exhibition charmed locals and visitors to such an extent that the village decided to establish its own municipal museum. The home of the permanent exhibition bearing the name Izba starých materí became a beautiful 150-year-old building, known among the residents as the old post office. It is built in a gentry (zemiansky) style, and all original decorative elements have been preserved. Ranks of local volunteers who value the heritage of their ancestors participated in its reconstruction.

The exhibition itself consists of 230 historical artifacts donated or loaned to the museum by citizens and natives of the village of Párnica. Here, you can visit a countryside room, a barn, and a separate room with period documents, including photographs illustrating life in the village throughout past years. A true gem of the building is a hand-painted chest from 1908. Among the most interesting artifacts is a military trunk with its original contents, a school chronicle, a savings book from Tatra banka from 1940, as well as a historical document from 1943, likely a predecessor of today's prenuptial agreement.

If you feel like traveling back in time and creating pleasant memories of your adventure in the form of photos, you can rent Izba starých materí for such an interesting photoshoot. Or would you prefer a romantic night at the museum? If you are brave enough, at Izba starých materí they will lend you typical attire, prepare a traditional meal for you, and let you soak up the atmosphere of times long past.

Vodná nádrž Krpeľany lies just below the confluence of the Orava river with the Váh river. It is located near the villages of Krpeľany and Šútovo in the Žilina Region on the border of Malá Fatra with Veľká Fatra. Krpeľany belongs to the Vážska kaskáda system. The power plant built on this water structure bears the same name, Krpeľany. The dam is truly a construction feat, and many stop here precisely to enjoy not only the views, but also to appreciate the architectural structure.

Vodné dielo Krpeľany began to be built in 1949 and is the first stage in the Krpeľany – Sučany – Lipovec cascade of hydroelectric power plants. An artificial canal is also built here, which diverts water to the next stage, the Sučany power plant, and from there to Lipovec. The power plant was put into operation in 1957. The entire construction of the water reservoir had a major impact on the village of Krpeľany.

The small village between Martin and Ružomberok suddenly grew not only with new residents – workers who moved here with their entire families. New houses, apartment buildings, a kindergarten, a sports field, a department store, and even a cinema were also built here. From the small village of Krpeľany, it has thus become a popular place for living as well as tourism today.

Although Vodná nádrž Krpeľany is not used as a recreational resort, many hikers and cyclists stop here during their wanderings through the surrounding countryside. If you set out on a cycling trip, we recommend the route from Sučany towards Turany, along the canal all the way to Krpeľany, and across the dam wall along the Váh through the villages of Nolčovo, Konské, and Podhradie all the way to Turčianska Štiavnička. The route is around 18 kilometers long and is easy and flat.

The Krpeľany water surface is not used for bathing, swimming, or water sports. People rather bathe and children frolic in the nearby Šútovské jazero. However, anglers love Krpeľany. The fishing ground is full of cyprinid fish. You can catch catfish, zander, carp, and trout here. The surroundings of the reservoir are quiet and peaceful, ideal for a good fishing trip.

If you set out on a holiday to this locality, we offer you accommodation near Vodná nádrž Krpeľany, accommodation Šútovo, or accommodation in the Martin district. In addition, we have also prepared an overview of other attractions in the vicinity of Martin for you. Do not hesitate and book your cottage, chalet, apartment, or guesthouse today.
