Trekking in the Veľká (Great) Fatra
Overview
The Veľká Fatra is a mountain range in the Western Carpathians and offers some of our least disturbed mountain environments. The main characteristic features of this national park are its wide meadows. The whole mountain chain has a high main ridge, which divides into two branches: Liptovská and Turčianska. The highest mountain is Ostredok. Other notable summits in the main body of the Veľká Fatra are Krížna and Ploská. The main summit on the western Turiec Ridge is Borišov and on the eastern Liptov Ridge, Rakytov.
