Liptovská Mara is the largest water reservoir in Slovakia, located in the Liptovská Basin, between the Tatras and the Low Tatras. It is a popular holiday destination with swimming areas, beaches, water sports and boat trips. The lake is surrounded by asphalt and gravel roads, which are great for cycling trips with a view of the mountains. On the southern shore there is the Havránok lookout - an archaeological site with a replica of a Celtic settlement. In the season, it is worth avoiding weekend crowds - some of the routes run along busy roads. With a bit of luck, we can see a mirror reflection of the Tatras in the water.

The area around it is very nicely done up. There is a beautiful view of the lake and there are a bunch of newly installed benches to sit on. You can park you car here for free and the skanzen Havranok is walking distance away.

Located above the village Lucky is this small Spa town holding the same name - Spa Lucky. Once very popular for treating all women's health problems it still remains on the list of the most popular spas in Slovakia. Nested in very nice nature offers great opportunities for walks. If cycling through, this can offer a great stop with access to the public pool as well as some restaurants.
