Sklabiňa Castle

Castle

The Castle of Sklabiňa towers on the edge of the basin Turčianska kotlina and the mountains Veľká Fatra. It was first mentioned in 1242. After 1320, the Sklabiňa Castle became the seat of the county administration of Turiec.

In 1630, the family of Révay had it adapted and a Renaissance manor house built in its courtyard. It was also fortified then. It remained the seat of the county administration until the mid-18th century.

The Renaissance manor house survived until the Second World War. After it burnt in 1944, it fell in decay together with the Castle. The remains of the castle preserving some Gothic and Renaissance architectural details progressively decayed.

The Castle is reconstructed now and the renovation is in care of young enthusiasts who organise different interesting events on the premises such as the Castle Feast connected with historical conquering of the Castle.

Deer´s waterfall

Deer´s waterfall

The waterfall is located on Jeleňý potok, a right-hand tributary of Čutkovský potok. It is cascading, two-story and its most beautiful is its upper part. From a professional point of view, this is the so-called destructive waterfall, which means that its height and slope decreases over the ages by the action of water. Jelení waterfall is one of the stops on the educational trail Známa neznáma Čutkovská dolina. The trail starts at the mouth of the Čutkovská valley and opens up all the most interesting corners of the area. The section in front of the waterfall is equipped with 84 steps due to the more demanding terrain. As the amount of water in the waterfall fluctuates during the year, it is best to visit it in the spring or during periods of heavy rain.
