Žiarska Valley is one of the most visited valleys of the Western Tatras. Natural beauty and easy accessibility make it favourite for visitors – it is only 12 km away from the centre of Liptov – Liptovský Mikuláš town. The end of the valley is formed by massive peaks and ridges. Visitors to the valley, tourists, members of school and family trips will appreciate information on the boards which are placed in the heart of the peaceful, untouched Tatra Mountains countryside.
