Liptovský Michal

如何抵達

D1 highway is the main road crossing the area, however the exit points are only at Bešeňová/Ivachnová at the west and Liptovský Mikuláš at the east. Northern road from Bešeňová goes around the whole Liptovská Mara dam, where most of the attractions are.

當地交通

There are public buses, but taking own car is much easier. Riding a bicycle is possible as well. There is one steep hill after Potok village - you can take the somewhat easier road via Vlašky village.

Liptovská Mara The dam, built in 1965-1975, is named after one of the 9 inundated villages - an open-air museum created from remains of the village is now in Pribylina. The area of the reservoir is 22 km², max. depth is 45 m and the capacity is 360 million m³. The main purpose of this dam is to prevent floods, although it also generates electricity. While the water is usually not very clean (even muddy in some places), it's good enough for light swimming, sunbathing and different adrenaline activities. Ferry cruises available too. The southern parts (near the D1 highway) are not used by tourists usually, because of the shallow waters and generally muddy ground. However, many fishers go there. Beaches (mostly with small pebbles), used in summer by the locals too:
