We Welcome You to Kvačany

You have come to a Liptov village which the territory was donated by King Belo IV in 1256 to Mayor Aundrej of Banska Bystrica. This row village along the Kvačany stream with 600 inhabitants is situated on the northwest border of a valley and is lying under the cliffs of the Choč Mountains. In Kvačany you will meet warm, friendly people and see the Church of Saint Katarina. This church was orginally gothic and its rnnstruction started in the fourteenth century. People, for the sake of interest and culture, continue to have and use traditional wooden house and various elements of smaller wooden arcitecture.

The Kvačany Valley is cut into limestone and dolomite formations. The valley lies between Black Mountain (Čierna Hora) and Ostra Mountain. In the Kvačany Valley, with well perserved geology, Porest and protected flora and fauna, are two old water mills. One mill for grinding grain and the other for lumber. These two mills are rare technical monuments. From these two mills you are close to the communities of Huty, Malé and VeIké Borové: all with well-perserved traditional architecture.

Flirther to the west of the Kvačany Valley is the Prosiek Valley, approximately 1/2 hours hike from the Kvačany Valley. Here you will have the chance to see rock formations and natural phenomenom. Near the end of the valley is a 15 meter high waterfall, Red Sands, that can be reached with the help of ladders. Tourist who are not afraid of a one and half hour or more hike and who want to see a remarkable view of the Choč Mountains we greatly recommend that you visit the Prosiek Valley.
