Forest Railway and Lake
🚂 Orava Forest Railway
It is a real gem of the region and an attraction that combines history, technology and nature. The route leads through the wild, green forests of Orava – exactly the same route that used to be used by wagons loaded with wood, operated by foresters and highlanders.
The railway is a historic narrow-gauge railway with open wagons that moves slowly, giving you time to contemplate nature, views and photos. Wooden stations, creaking rails, the smell of the forest – all this gives the journey its own unique, slightly cinematic atmosphere.
What awaits you there?
🏛️ Small forest railway museum See what the work of old lumberjacks and foresters looked like - tools, photos and exhibits.
🏡 Mini Orava open-air museum Wooden buildings in the regional style - like a real village from 100 years ago.

🛍️ Seasonal souvenir point Handicrafts, preserves and local products - something for a souvenir or gift.
At the end of the day, we will visit the real pearl of the region – Orava Lake, located near the town of Námestovo. It is the largest reservoir in northern Slovakia and one of the most beautiful places for a peaceful rest after a day full of experiences. Here, mountains meet water, and nature invites you to relax – regardless of whether you prefer a leisurely walk, a coffee with a view, or just take some beautiful photos.
