The city
What to expect from Oravský Podzámok.
Village on the banks of the Orava river, at the foot of Orava Castle, which dominates the valley from a limestone rock. The name means, in Slovak, something like “under the castle.” Regional trains stop in the village, which serves as a base for the castle and for the Orava reservoir, where a boat takes visitors to Slanica Island. The town of Dolný Kubín, with more services, is a few kilometres away.
