Demänovská ľadová jaskyňa (cave)

Cave

On the right side of the valley Demänovská dolina below the northern slopes of the mountains Nízke Tatry is another cave open to public - Demänovská ľadová jaskyňa.

The cave known since the Middle Ages is the second largest cave of its kind in Slovakia. Though the first reference to it is from 1299, it was opened to the public only in the 1880's.

The entrance is at the altitude of 840 m, about 90 m above the bottom of the valley. The winding path leading to the cave starts at the parking lot. It consists of four floors with a total length of 2.5 km; the route around the cave is 850 m long and seeing it takes 45 minutes.

Its ice filling is about 400-500 years old. The Demänovská ľadová jaskyňa cave is also known for the bones of cave bear found there. They were taken for remnants of drake in the 18th century. It is the reason why it was also called the Dragon Cave. Ten species of bats live in this cave.

Especially charming is its lower part called the "Freezer" with icicles and ice waterfalls. Instructive path, which also leads to the cave, provides additional information about this natural phenomenon.

Bobsleigh track Žiarce FUN PARK

Bobsleigh track Žiarce FUN PARK

If you are a fan of adrenaline sports, then your holiday in Liptov cannot be done without a visit to the mountain bobsleigh track in FUN PARK Žiarka. The bobsled track is situated in the popular Demänovská valley, specifically in the Liptov village of Pavčina Lehota. Because accommodation in Slovakia is so popular in this picturesque area, every year this attraction gains new fans among adults and children. It is not only the first track built in the Liptov region, but also the first track of this type in Slovakia. The total length of the track is 1000 m and it is the steepest track in our territory, with a total elevation of 120 meters. The maximum speed that can be reached is limited to 45 km / h. You can determine whether you reach it by simply moving the lever towards you (braking) or away from you (accelerating). The reason why the bobsleigh track in FUN PARK Žiarka is proud of its uniqueness is that the beans in which you are firmly attached are lowered on a single aluminum tube at a height of approximately one meter above the ground. You don't have to worry at all, the bobsled ride is safe and can be done by children from 7 years of age. If you have a child who has not yet reached the age of seven, it is possible to go in one bomb together but only up to the maximum allowed weight of 120 kg. There are a total of 16 curves on the track. The high attractiveness of the bobsled track is completed by 2 ramps, through which the track passes and, last but not least, 6 off-road jumps. The bobsleigh track and all its accessories are from the Austrian manufacturer BRANDAUER.
