The national park Malá Fatra is located in North of Slovakia in Krivánska Malá Fatra – the northern part of Malá Fatra mountains. The varied geological composition and altitude of the mountain determine the existence of rich fauna and flora and also the variety of forms of the relief. THe highest peak is Veľký Kriváň -  1709 meters above sea level. Another important peak is Veľký Rozsutec, which you can find in national park logo. Vrátna valley is surrounded by Boboty, Veľký Rozsutec, Stoh, Poludňový grúň, Chleb, Veľký Kriváň, Kraviarske, Baraniarky and Sokolie. Acces to all the peaks is allowed. In addition to these peaks, Terchová is full of marked tourist paths of various difficulty. Various massive rocks, waterfalls and nooks attract many tourists each year.

Terchová village, known mostly thanks to national hero Jánošík and its traditions, is the best starting point of hikes to Krivánska part of Malá Fatra, which is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in Slovakia.  

The nature is majestic in the whole valley and you just need to choose the right path or to try all of them. For example:
