Orava Dam is one of the most popular tourist centres. The Dam is a stop for thousands of campers every year. The most favoured place to stay in summer time is the southern and western part of the Dam. There is plenty of additional action to keep the family occupied, from swimming, yachting, pedal boats to kayaking and surfing. Sightseeing cruises and boat tours gives you a chance to see parts that would otherwise take days to explore. One of the most recommended recreation centres are campsite near the beach of Slanická Osada, port and Námestovo‘s beaches. Island of art, located in the middle of the Dam, attracts handful of tourists that come her to soak up atmosphere of the ancient Roman Catolic church Povýšenie svätého Kríža that dates back to 18th century. Now you can find here the permanent exposition of folk art, carving and painting. If you are one of those who wants to get deeper into history, see the collection of stony antique – the region‘s heritage. Fishing is also everyday pursuit here. Have a zander, carp, pike or huchen for a dinner!
Reservoir The Orava Dam is a part of hydraulic structure Orava (expansion tank Tvrdošín is also a part). The hydraulic structure is built at the confluence of the rivers Biela and Čierna Orava, located in the northern region of the same name – Orava.
Getting there and around:
The project started on 24th July 1941. After 13 years in 1954 the dam was put into full operation. Although the dam was necessary, there were few inevitable sacrifices – some villages like Slanica, Osada, Oravská Hámre, Ľavko, Ústie nad Oravou and two third of Námestovo city got under water. Due to all environmental intervantions Námestovo city has been deprived of historic centre. Yet, the artificial intrusion of nature brought out two small islands which tower above the water – Slanický ostrov, also known as Island of art, and Vtáčí ostrov. If you are lucky enough and visit the region at a time of low water level, the islands and a piece of land surfaces above the water and thus the land creates a nice trail connecting the islands. This is a place where you have the greatest chance to spot unique migratory water birds on their way to neigbouring land.
