  • Recommended

Experts classify water mills in the valley Kvačianska dolina among the mountain type of mills. They stand in what is often referred to as a most beautiful Slovak valleys, in the mountain range Chočské vrchy. This is one of the last surviving monuments of its kind and in its natural environment.

The mills stand in the upper part of the valley Kvačianska dolina. The place is called Oblazy and it is next to the confluence of brooks Hutianka and Borovianka. Both mills are from the first half of the 19th century when they stood next to an important road. The road communicated the regions Liptov and Orava with Poland. In 1936 one of the mills was adapted into a saw mill. Its later owners abandoned it. Enthusiastic members of the Slovak Union of Conservationists and those of the movement Strom reconstructed it.

The upper mill consists of three parts, and stands on stone masonry. It operated by means of the wheel driven by upper race water. The mill belonged to the village Sviniarky.

The village Veľké Borové owned the lower mill. In 1931 František Brunčiak of Kvačany bought it. The mill had two wheels and one of them drives the saw mill. It has been thoroughly reconstructed.

The mills are on the instructive path running between the valleys Prosiecka and Kvačianska.

Places Around

Ráztocký Waterfall

Ráztocký Waterfall

The Ráztocký waterfall lies in the lower part of the Ráztocká valley, approximately 60 m away from the place where the Ráztocká valley connects with the Kvačianska valley. The Ráztocká valley is short, but impressive canyon-shaped valley carved through limestone rock. It is the branch of the Kvačianska valley, which offers unforgettable hiking experiences. The waterfall is hidden in a stone gorge and falls from the height of about eight metres. In summer, it is surrounded by rich vegetation. Spring is the time when you can see it in its full beauty and in winter, the waterfall transforms into an ice cascade. You can climb the ladder to get to the top of the waterfall but use caution as the ladder can be slippery. The waterfall is accessible from Veľké Borové. You can choose to continue hiking down the canyon of the Ráztocká valley to the settlement of Jóbova Ráztoka. The Ráztocká valley is the perfect location for families with children and occasional tourists.

Červené Piesky Waterfall

Červené Piesky Waterfall

The Červené piesky waterfall (Red sands waterfall) is located in the magnificent area of the Prosiecka valley, surrounded by the Chočské mountains and it is about 15-metre long. It is considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Slovakia. You can get to the waterfall from the Vidová rázcestie (Vidová junction) in the Prosiecka valley. There is a short path leading to the blind valley of Červené piesky, where the waterfall is situated. Dry periods turn the waterfall into a trickle of water, so the best time to see the waterfall in its full beauty is in spring or after heavy rains. You can choose to continue hiking from here. The neighbouring Kvačianska valley, which is known for its wonderful nature, will welcome you with its open arms. It is most beautiful in spring, when the meadows are in full bloom and the whole area is surrounded by deep green trees.

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.
