District of Námestovo

Tucked along the shores of Orava Reservoir in northern Slovakia, the District of Námestovo is a place whose character is shaped by broad water and the wooded uplands of Orava. The reservoir, Slovakia’s largest by surface area, was created in the mid-20th century and transformed a former river valley into a defining local feature. Slanica Island of Art preserves a church and Calvary from the flooded village of Slanica, giving the waterway an unusually tangible link to the area’s past. Námestovo, the district centre, serves the surrounding rural communities near the Polish border. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Orava connects regionally.
