Ski center Žiar Dolinky is located at the foot of the southern hillslopes of the mountain range called the West Tatras, 10 km far from Liptovský Mikuláš. The overall length of the ski slopes is 0,65 km. The center is suitable for the beginners, but also for more demanding skiers.
The spring is situated at the southern end of the Konská village, by the creek, below the road. You can take the spring water straight from a fountain located in a wooden shelter. The water is slightly rusty-coloured, it has sour taste and is favourite mainly with the locals.
The museum, a permanent exhibition, has been open in new premises since August 2010 - a building next to the Gothic Church of the Sacrifice of the Lord (Catholic Church).
The Gothic Church of the Presentation of the Lord (in honor of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary) is the oldest building in Smrečany, which foundations were built in 1349. It is a single-nave building with a square sanctuary with crossed massive Roman ribs bridging the building in the east side and with an adjacent sacristy on the north side.

The Poľovnícky waterfall (Hunter´s waterfall) is a sought-after trip location – especially in summer. It is popular with hikers, cyclists and families with small children. It is situated under the Bobrovecká valley and is surrounded by the beautiful nature of Liptov and a big rock wall, from which it falls. It is interesting to mention that the waterfall is known under several names, so you may know it as the Bobrovecký or Poľovnícky waterfall. It falls from the height of 12 metres and is formed by the Stará voda creek, which creates two whirlpools at the top of the waterfall. The waterfall will leave you spellbound in every season. In winter, however, the sound of falling water dies away and the waterfall changes into a stiff and yet beautiful icefall. The wonderful waterfall surrounding creates atmosphere similar to the one typical of Slovenský raj (Slovak paradise). The easiest way to get to the Poľovnícky waterfall if from the village of Jalovec (app. 4 km), through Bobrovecká Vápenica and the saddle of Lipovec. Then, follow the direction signs that will take you directly to the waterfall. There is also a marked bike path running through the area.
