Selected alternatives for you

    Skalka is part of the town Liptovský Hrádok. An easy route takes us up to its summit, from where we have a view of the entire town, the Belá river, as well as the surroundings of Liptovský Hrádok.

    At the top of the rock, we find a double cross, and below Skalka there is a monument with a memorial plaque dedicated to the victims of World War I and II, residents of the villages of the Belá Valley. The monument was created by L. Pollák – an academic sculptor.

    Author’s recommendation

    It is great to combine a visit to the lookout with a tour of the Grand Castle.
