Accommodation Vodné mlyny Oblazy (page 9 of 22)

In the Oblazy basin, in the attractive Kvačianska dolina, two preserved mountain-type watermills are located at the confluence of the Hutiansky potok and Boroviansky potok streams: the upper Gejdošovský mlyn and the lower Brunčiakovský mlyn. The wooden mills are a very lovely monument, sensitively situated in their original natural environment. They fit right into it, in no way disturbing the character of the picturesque Chočské vrchy surroundings.

The mills were built at the beginning of the 19th century. Originally there were three, and in some sources even four are mentioned. The third mill was a carters' inn, which was burned down by fascists in 1944, while the fourth mill was allegedly swept away by water. To this day, the mills are functional, thanks to the dedicated work of their volunteer residents, who are members of the Slovak Union of Nature and Landscape Protectors. Thanks to them, visitors can view this unique living exhibition. Inside the lower mill, right at its heart, a large water wheel turns, generating electricity and occasionally refreshing bystanders with a few drops of ice-cold water. All the original machinery located in the mills operates on traditional water power.

A stay by the mills acts as a balm for the soul. Lie down on the grass and listen to the surrounding sounds: the babbling of water, the roar of the waterfall, the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the occasional sound of one of the roaming domestic animals. You will find local goats and hens here, and ducks usually swim along the river as well. As you gaze at the impressive wooden structures, you will feel as though you have stepped back into another era. Indeed, many do not even want to return from here to the hurried reality of everyday life.

The mills are located on the route of the Prosiecka a Kvačianska dolina educational trail; from them, you can reach Kvačany, Veľké Borové, and Huty, and continue further towards Západné Tatry. The hike from Huty is not demanding and can be managed even by smaller children. It leads along a forest path beside the river. You can also get here via the Kvačianska dolina – Vodné mlyny Oblazy route, following the red and blue hiking trail markers with two recommended stops. The first is at the Kobyliny viewpoint, and the second at the Malý Roháč viewpoint.

Vodné mlyny Oblazy fall under the Liptovský Mikuláš district. Its surroundings, just like the entire Liptov region, offer wide possibilities for both active and passive relaxation, hiking, visiting museums and attractions, swimming in an aquapark, as well as great skiing.
