Region of Žilina

The Region of Žilina is best known in Slovakia for its concentration of Carpathian mountain ranges. In the country’s north, it brings together the valleys of Orava, Kysuce, Liptov and Turiec, with the Váh—Slovakia’s longest river—running through its central corridor. Malá Fatra is a defining presence, while parts of the Western Tatras and the High Tatras lie within the region. Orava Castle, set high above the Orava River, is among Slovakia’s best-known medieval fortresses. Near Ružomberok, Vlkolínec preserves a traditional mountain settlement inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
