Orava Dam

Slanický island

In the middle of the reservoir there is a very popular destination for tourists – Slanický island. The Roman Catholic Church, which was built here, was built in 1766 – 1769 and has a permanent exhibition of folk art with an outdoor exhibition of stone works of art.

Slovakia, thanks to its geographical location, is considered the heart of Europe.

Although Slovakia has a smaller area compared to surrounding countries, it offers a vast array of experiences. From natural treasures and breathtaking scenery to historical monuments and castles, all the way to worldwide unique attractions.
