    The Svätojánska lookout tower towers above the village of Liptovský Ján and offers a view of the entire village and the wide surroundings. The lookout tower is made entirely of wood, its shape and materials draw from traditional Slovak architecture. It is located in the area called Stráne above the cemetery under the peak Kameničná (829 m above sea level).

    You can reach it directly from the village or from the area of the Teplica thermal spring (a small bridge over the Štiavnica stream). A simple, maintained trail leads to the lookout tower, starting from the nearest road near the cemetery, where parking is also possible but limited. The route is easy with minimal ascent. It is therefore suitable for children and seniors.

    Author’s recommendation

    If you bring swimwear with you, you can bathe in the thermal spring - in a tub, on the edge of the village.
