Transfer to Beckov, a quiet little village right under the cliffs of Beckov Castle.

Coffee/rest stop at Beckov.

Transfer to Terchová Terchová is a village in the Malá Fatra mountains known for the massive stainless - steel statue of Jánošík standing above the village

We stop for a short walk to the impressive 7.5-meter steel statue of Jánošík. Terchová uses the statue as a marker of identity: “this is the village where the legend comes from.” It stands for local pride, the Jánošík story, and the connection between the village and its famous outlaw-born-here figure.

Orava Castle is one of Slovakia’s most spectacular landmarks. Dating back to the 13th century, this multi-level fortress blends Gothic, Renaissance, and Romanesque architecture, offering panoramic views and centuries of history in stone.

After exploring the fortress above, we descend into the village of Oravský Podzámok for a lunch. Restaurants serve Slovak cuisine — food that warms you and fills you up. Typical dishes include bryndzové halušky (potato dumplings with sheep cheese and bacon), kapustnica (sauerkraut soup), and grilled meats with rich local flavors. Lunch is optional and flexible — but we strongly recommend it as a cultural (and delicious) part of the experience.
