Offer of the region of Turiec

The region of Turiec is one of the regions that offers practically everything – beautiful natural scenery, thermal springs, cultural monuments and history and sports opportunities.

The region offers a wide range of leisure activities – you can find rare cultural and historical monuments, thermal springs and spas, beautiful natural scenery, wide sports opportunities – hiking, biking, skiing,…

The centre and the most important city of Turiec is Martin with a rich history of national and cultural significance. It is home to Matica Slovenská, Ethnographic Museum, SNP Theater or Slovak National Library. There is also a national cultural monument of the National Cemetery, where many well-known personalities of Slovak culture and history are buried. You should definitely not miss the largest exposure of folk architecture objects in Slovakia in the Museum of the Slovak Village – the open-air museum in Jahodnícke háje.

We also recommend to visit some of the beautiful valleys – Blatnícka, Gaderská, Necpalská or Jasenská, which offer rich opportunities for hiking and biking. You can also enjoy skiing in Martinské hole, Jasenská dolina or Snowland Valčianska dolina. After an active day you can relax in the healing springs of the spa Turčianske Teplice. The monastery of the premonstrates in Kláštor pod Znievom, the manor house with the English park in Mošovce or the ruins of Zniev castle will absorb you.

If you want to experience something truly adventurous and romantic, you can spend the weekend in the ruins of Sklabiňa castle in one preserved tower. From the natural attractions you should not miss the highest region waterfall in Šútovo or the rare archaeological site of the Mažarná Cave (you can see only the entrance portal because the cave is not open to the public).
