Little Fatra Essentials

Little Fatra is defined by the jagged limestone summits of Veľký Rozsutec and Veľký Kriváň, the range's highest peak at 1,709 meters. The landscape includes the Jánošíkove Diery gorges, featuring steel ladders and bridges over rocky cascades. Medieval history is preserved in the ruins of Strečno and Starý hrad, which once guarded the Váh river trade routes. Cultural highlights include the 7.5-meter steel statue of folk hero Juraj Jánošík and the Slovenský betlehem, one of the largest moving wooden nativity scenes in Europe.
