SLOVAKIA ~ Malá Fatra National Park ~

... Another great postcard of one of the 9 national parks in this small Central European country... this area is known for its gorges, waterfalls, rocky peaks and ridge hikes with beautiful views from its main ridge...  home to bears, lynxes and wolves and fascinating flora and fauna... also a wide variety of downhill skiing in winter... Big Thanks once more Laco!!【ツ】
The card shows part of the Vratna dolina "Vratna valley" (vratna means that you will come back). The dolomite formations on the left are called Tiesňavy.

The National Park of Mala Fatra (also called Little Fatra), is situated in the westernmost Slovak high mountains Mala Fatra.The park nowadays spreads over 226 sq. km. Mala Fatra has legal protection since 1967 as a Protected Landscape Area Mala Fatra and in 1988, this territory was declared as a National Park.
