Visit with us the magical Orava Castle, built on a steep cliff, in the middle of unspoiled nature. Orava Castle (Slovak: Oravský hrad, German: Arwaburg, Hungarian: Árva vára) is a castle situated on a high rock above Orava river in the village of Oravský Podzámok, Slovakia. The castle's oldest parts being built in the thirteenth century and the most recent parts in the early seventeenth century. Many scenes of the 1922 film Nosferatu were filmed here, the castle representing Count Orlok's Transylvanian castle. Orava Castle stands on the site of an old wooden fortification, built after the Mongol invasion of Hungary of 1241. Its history follows a familiar pattern of construction, destruction, reconstruction, fire, various ownerships and territorial squabbles. The original design was in Romanesque and Gothic style; it was later reconstructed as a Renaissance and Neo-Gothic structure, hugging the shape of the 520-metre spur on which it perches.

After visiting the castle, we usually taste traditional Slovak dishes, fresh sheep and cow cheeses and traditional Slovak cakes at the shepherd's hut near the town of Ružomberok, Zázrivá or Dolný Kubín.

In Zázrivá is possible to visit traditional Slovak cheese factory and to try to make your own cheese. 

Try it out traditional production cheese specialties. In the cheese factory, you will be dressed stylishly, in your work clothes. Then they will tell you the ancient secrets and you can stretch your own cheese threads "vojka" and knit your own whips in a demonstration of production. Under professional guidance, you can print cheese animals or hearts in wooden, hand-carved molds. You then put them together in brine. Finally, you will pack your products and take them with you.This attraction must be booked in advance, the maximum number of people is 6 people. There is no guarantee that it will be possible to try this attraction on the date you choose. The duration of production is approximately 45 minutes and the attraction costs 20 euros on the spot.
