SK, Oravska Magura - Winter Walk
On our trips in Slovenskem we made a stop in Orava. Looking at snow covered slopes we couldnt resist to take a winter walk even with our four legged pet. Despite heavy snowing and wind, we enjoyed the atmosphere of Oravian nature. White frosted trees, snow under our feet and our sight was captued by clouds going over the hills of the Oravska Magura.

SK, Orava – A Trip to Slanice Art Island
Today we will take you to one exceptional place, which, despite its planned demise, gave way to art. Our goal will be the distinctive Orava region, more precisely the city connected with water - Námestovo. On its edge lies the Orava Reservoir with the popular Slanický Island of Art. The 3.5-hectare island is actually a ridge of the former settlement of Slanica, which, together with four other settlements, was flooded as part of the construction of a reservoir. The remains of the former settlement invite visitors to visit the Baroque-Classicist church of the Exaltation of Holy Cross (1843) with two towers, a locksmith's chapel, a lapidary in the vicinity of the sacral building, where there is an exhibition of Orava stonework (from the 18th and 19th centuries), or the Calvary and the symbolic cemetery. Here you can also see a monument to the important native Anton Bernolák.
