History & Culture

The Jan Hál House in Važec has since 1984 been extended by the exposition of the Liptov Gallery of Petr Michal Bohúň in Liptovský Mikuláš. It is located in the easternmost village of Liptov region at the undr of the High Tatras. There are two buildings in the area. In the house where Jan Hála (1890 - 1959) lived, between 1984 and 2005 there was a permanent exhibition of works by Jan Hál, known mainly as a painter of a distinctive Slovak village and the life of the Važec people and illustrator of many books for children. The second object is a wooden house where Jan Hála used to be after his arrival in Važec. At present, there is an ethnographic exposition of the original Važec´s dwelling, one of the few extant after the extensive fire of the village in 1931. The timber is a national cultural monument. Since 2005 the gallery has been open only during the summer season.

Places Around

The Važecká Cave is one of the most known caves in the northern Slovakia. Though by length it belongs among the short show caves, it is known by occurrence of rich dripstone decoration, remarkable findings of cave bear bones, as well as by rare cave fauna.

Eco farm Važec was founded in 1960 and is located in northern Slovakia in a beautiful area in between two national parks – High Tatras (TANAP) and Low Tatras (NAPANT). Parts of both national parks are even found within the area of the eco farm. This is also one of the reasons we are very well familiar with ecological or green farming and from 2005 we are a certified eco farm.

Come with us and enjoy a perfect adventure from the horseback.

An exceptionally attractive trip is the ascent to the Kriváň Mt. (2,494 m) a stout peak in the western part of the High Tatras. This mountain is a multiple winner of enquiries about the most beautiful mountain in Slovakia. It is easily recognisable for its conspicuously curved summit, which is the reason why it is called Kriváň (in English Curved Mount).
