Overview

The origin of a name Fatra

At first it was a name for a mountain. As a name of whole range, it appears in 18th century. According the folk etymology it is derived from a word Vater (Father), but according scientific researches it is derived from observation function of these mountains. (Noun "patra" is derived from verb "patriti" = look, view; and later was a letter P replaced by F).

The Malá Fatra mountain range (Low Fatra) with the extended one of 22.630 hectares were declared the Protection area in 1967 and then the National Park in 1988. The mountain range is formed by granitoid rocks, rocks of the envelope and sheet units, especially dolomites and limestone. The park is rich of flora and fauna (bear, lynx, otter, eagle, eagle owl, grouse).
The Malá Fatra mountain range is divided into two parts: Kriváňská Fatra (highest point - Velký Kriváň-1709 meters) and Lúčanská Fatra, often called Martinské Hole, which isn´t correct (highest point - Velká Lúka - 1476 meters).


This mountain range emerges out of the Žilinská kotlina and Turčianská kotlina basins and forms an arch extending from the Fačkovské sedlo pass to Zazrivá. The park covers territory of the districts of Žilina, Martin, Ružomberok and Dolný Kubín.
More than 80% of the national park area is covered by mixed forests, predominantly beech, with more than 900 kinds of plants growing here.

Getting There

The nearest airports are in Ostrava (CZ), Bratislava and Poprad (both SK). The area of Malá Fatra has good traffic connection with the whole Slovakia and Czech Republic. From the czech-slovakian borders we can use the road nr. E75 leading through Jablunkov (the easternmost city of the Czech Republic) toward Čadca (already in Slovakia). In Krásno nad Kysucou we turn right under the bridge and there we turn left in the direction of Stará Bystrica (road nr. 520), and before this village we turn right again. On the crossroad a few kilometeres after Lutiše, we turn left and from there it is only few kilometeres to Terchová (from the right comes to this crossroad a road from Žilina - it is maybe easier for orientation, but a little bit longer).
In Terchová we turn right (maybe second or third turning behind a church) to the Vrátna valley. From Vrátna valley we can go to the left to Štefanová village or straight to the Vrátna hut).

Interesting places

Vrátna valley with Tiesňavy gorge and a big ski resort
National nature reserve Tiesňavy was created in 1967; area 479 ha. Protected area includes valley-gorge created by Varínka stream and Sokolie mountain including Obšívanka valley. These gorges connect Terchová with Vrátna Valley.


Štefanová village below Velký Rozsutec


System of gorges with the waterfalls - Janošíkové diery (Horné, Dolné, and Nové Diery)

This is a group of three gorges called Diery, created by the stream of Hľboký potok.
Horné Diery - they are located 4 km to the east from Terchová. There is nine waterfalls, 2-4 m high and we can walk trough this gorge with a help of chains, ladders and bridges.
In Dolné Diery, there are two waterfalls (1 and 3.5 m high).
Nové Diery - narrow gorge with four waterfalls (1-2 m high). They are called Nové = "new", because this part of gorge was made accessible as last.

Terchová village - with a statue of a local bandit Juraj Jánošík

The story about Juraj Jánošík
He was born in Terchová on January 25th, 1688 as the second son of Martin and Anna Jánošík. There were hard times for all people. The King Leopold I had in 1699 finished a war against Turkish invaders. Jánošík, as a soldier of Franz II Rákoczy, had fought with the troops in a battle near Trenčín City in August 3rd, 1708. They were defeated by troops of General Heister.
Janosik had been for several years a soldier of the imperial troops when he met Tomáš Úhorčík in 1711 and both began stealing and robbing. Jánošík's robbing time was short - from 1711 to 1713. He took a part in 11 actions, but without murders - it is very important for his image. He took by surprise several merchants in the Valley of Váh River.
A legend says: he took from rich people and all was given to the poor.
At the beginning of March 1713 Jánošík was captured by catchers, later judged and in March 17th, 1713 was condemned to death by hanging up hook.
His four-meters-high statue is found in his village - Terchová.

Routes

Best choice is to walk on the main ridge of Malá Fatra (red marked trail). We can start by the Vrátna hut (750 m, parking lot). From there we can go up to Snilovské sedlo saddle (1524 m) by cable car (Price: return ticket 270 Sk, one-way ticket 220 Sk) - or on foot (green marked trail, 1 3/4 h).


From the upper station we can go to the right on the summit of the highest point of Malá Fatra - Velký Kriváň (30 min) or to the left to the summit of Chleb (1647 m)(1/2 h).

We are already on the main ridge and till the Stohové sedlo (1120 m) there isn´t any bigger ascenscion. We pass over Hromové (1636 m) - Sedlo za Hromovým saddle (1550 m)- Steny, south summit (1572 m) - Sedlo v Stenách saddle (1480 m)- Steny, north summit (1535 m)- Poludňový gruň (1460 m) (1 1/2 h from the upper station, 3 1/4 h from lower station).


From Poludňový gruň we can descend toward Chata na Gruni hut (970 m) 45 min, or go further in the direction of Stoh. We descend to the Stohové sedlo saddle (1120 m). From there we can get around this mountain or go steeply to this summit [preferred way, but in summer it is very exhausting section]. From the saddle it takes one hour to the summit of Stoh (from there we have a beautiful view on the main ridge and neighbouring Velký Rozsutec, almost the same height). From the summit we descend steeply to Medziholie saddle (1185 m) (3/4 h). From the saddle to the right, there is a small stream (maybe 5 min) with a fresh water. Once there was the Chata pod Rozsutcom hut (destroyed by fire). From the saddle we can take green marked trail to Štefanová village or go further (red trail) to the summit of Velký Rozsutec (1 1/4 h) - a few sections with chains. Then we steeply descend to Medzirozsutce saddle (1200 m), 3/4 h. From there we can climb on Malý Rozsutec (one very steep section, chains, 30 min) and go back to Medzirozsutce. From this saddle we can take the blue marked trail and descend toward Štefanová through Diery gorge. On the crossroad in the gorge, leads a path (yellow marked) to the left. We can take this trail and omit the Diery gorge. This trail leads to Štefanová too.

Another part of the main ridge we can beat next day. We start from the Vrátna hut again and go 1-2 km back on the road to Terchová. Then we turn left to the forest (green marked trail) and we are heading toward Sedlo za Kraviarským saddle (1230 m)now. From there we go further to the left (blue marked) to Chrapáky (1417 m). We descend (yellow marked trail) to Sedlo na Koni (1170 m) and from there very steeply to the summit of Hole (1466 m, green marked trail). From this summit we slightly ascend to the Bublen saddle (1510 m, 1 1/4 h from Sedlo na Koni). From this saddle we turn right and continue to the summit of Malý Kriváň (1671 m) about 1 h. On the summit, there is a concrete pillar (visible from a far). From the summit we can go back to the Bublen saddle and to the right to the summit of Pekelník (1609 m) and further to the summit of Velký Kriváň (1/2 h from Bublen). From there it is another 1/2 h to Snilovské sedlo and from the saddle we can ascend on foot to the Vrátna hut or we can go by cable car.
