The Liptov region lies in the strip of land between the towering peaks of the High Tatras and the tree-covered hills of the Low Tatras, a country of rolling fields broken occasionally by a scenic church steeple. Liptov lays claim to some of the best preserved folk architecture in Slovakia - after all, they say this is where the Slovak traditional noodles "halusky" come from - as well as one of the country's nicest lakes , its longest caves, and the highest peak in the Low Tatras. Liptovska Mara, a massive artificial lake, sits in the center of Liptov like the pupil of an eye, and the bulk of the region's tourist attractions center around the lake.
Liptovsky Hradok
Liptovsky Hradok (population 8,600), is the tourist and economic centre of the region of Liptov and is situated under the the Nizke Tatry mountains and at the confluence of the Bela and Vah rivers.
Ruzomberok
