ROUTE DESCRIPTION

Gaderská Dolina is one of the most beautiful valleys in Veľká Fatra and the heart of the National Park. The valley is known for its rich fauna – bears, lynxes, wolves, and chamois live here, the latter having been successfully reintroduced.

A walk through the valley on an asphalt road is suitable for strollers and small children. It leads around the Mountain Rescue Service, through meadows with views of the surrounding rock walls. The educational trail informs about the nature and history of the valley.
