The villages Prosiek a Kva\u010dany in region Liptov are generally known as starting points for the trips to the most beautiful and most visited of the Slovak valleys – Prosiecka dolina and Kva\u010dianska dolina<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The almost <\/span>4 km long Prosiecka dolina valley<\/strong> is deeply embedded between the massive mountains of Lomno and Prose\u010dn\u00e9 (1,372 m). The blue-marked instructive path with several <\/span>wooden panels bearing details<\/strong> on geologic, geomorphic, and pedologic facts concerning the valley and the local fauna and flora leads through the valley. It starts at the entry to the valley next to the rock called <\/span>Vr\u00e1ta<\/strong> (The Gate) above which the brook Prose\u010dianka springs. In its central part the valley widens to a grassy clearing called Polhora on the sides of which is a <\/span>group of rocks<\/strong> bearing names Medve\u010f (the Bear), Sova (the Owl), \u0164ava (the Camel), J\u00e1no\u0161\u00edk, etc., waterfalls and caves. At the beginning of its upper part the valley branches to a little valley called \u010cerven\u00e9 piesky with an imposing <\/span>15 m high waterfall<\/strong> and the canyons of Ni\u017en\u00fd and Vy\u0161n\u00fd Straz, which are the most attractive sections of the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n

Their steepness and wildness will certainly impress any visitor, who will climb it.
Beyond the upper end of the valley is a grassy plain called Svorad<\/strong> crossed by a blue-marked trail heading to the community of Ve\u013ek\u00e9 Borov\u00e9. Ve\u013ek\u00e9 Borov\u00e9 is popular as a tourist base for trips to the<\/span> National Nature Reserve Kva\u010dianska dolina valley<\/strong>. This canyon-type valley deeply cut into the dolomite and limestone rocks between the \u010cierna hora (1,098 m) and Ostr\u00e9 (1,128 m) mountains runs parallel to the Prosiecka dolina valley. Both create a popular one-day tourist circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <\/span>Kva\u010dianska dolina valley<\/strong> has an instructive path with numerous stops. There used to exist an old road in the valley leading along the bottom and communicated the villages Ve\u013ek\u00e9 Borov\u00e9 and Huty with the rest of the world. The landmark in the upper part of the valley is called <\/span>Oblazy – a unique and ancient wooden water mill<\/strong>, and another attractive place is Roh\u00e1\u010d, a rock promontory in the lower part of the valley and the highest point on the old road. In 1860 a stone cross was erected here and the place provides wonderful views of the entire canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n
