The Demänovská Cave of Liberty

The most visited cave in Slovakia. It's situated in Demanovska dolina on the northern side of Low Tatras, in the National nature reservation Demanovska dolina. In the last period it was visited by 150000 to 175000 persons in a year. It was discovered in the year 1921, and it was made public in the year 1924. Today the main entrance is burried in the hight 870 m above sea so it is easy accesable.It has a very interesting system of hallways, underground halls and domes, and also a big amount of pretty stalagmites and stalactites.
Besides the stalagmites , stalactites and big stone-waterfalls several rich decorated small lakes with interesting stone forms in them.The stalagmites and slaktites are not just white but too red and pink coloured.In the deepest points flows the small river Demanovka.From the total lenght of 8400 m 1800 m are made public. The cave belongs to the Demanovsky cave system , which is a National nature remembrance.

Museum of Liptov Village

Opened in 1991, the Museum of Liptov Village in Pribylina is the youngest open air museum in Slovakia. Its origin is connected with the construction of the Liptovsky Mara Dam. Precious real estate which would have otherwise been flooded was relocated or reconstructed to create the museum. The original plan for the museum assumes the construction of a complete village resembling the structural layout which was used in most of Liptov villages which were granted town privileges. Only the first part of the museum is opened today. In the middle of the village there is a square where markets can be held. In front of the Man or House from Parížovce there is an amphitheatre where various folk and historical programs are held. Each structure within the village depicts a different social-economic strata, from the poorest way of life to the richest. For more information see http://www.lhradok.sk/muzeum/skanzen-eng.html.
