The Jánska dolina valley begins in the spa town of Liptovský Ján. At the same time, thermal springs, historic buildings, museums and special excursion destinations characterize the town.
Thermal Water and the Valley
The Teplica spring is the only spring in Liptovský Ján used both for drinking and bathing. It provides mineral water at 20 °C with proven healing properties. The swimming pool complex has four pools with thermal water from the Rudolf spring.
Trails and Caves
The educational trail to the Medokýš mineral spring connects Liptovská Porúbka, Liptovský Ján and Liptovský Hrádok. Six information panels provide information about biological diversity, the history of the surrounding municipalities and traditional activities. Another educational trail, Brána do Jánskej doliny, begins next to the car park of the Liptovský dvor resort in Jánska dolina near Liptovský Ján.
The Stanišovská Cave is 410 metres long. A visit takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. The cave is explored without electric lighting, using a headlamp and accompanied by an experienced guide.
Culture
To this day, 16 manor houses from the original group have been preserved in the historic centre of Liptovský Ján. Another distinctive building is the Roman Catholic Church of St. John the Baptist in Liptovský Ján. It was built in the Gothic style and received the Cultural Monument of the Year award in 2023.
The Svätojánske Museum presents an exhibition about the Sentiványi family from Liptovský Ján. Another exhibition focuses on the history of Liptovský Ján, with information about the establishment of the municipality, its sights, notable personalities and culture. A further exhibition deals with the Čajak family and almost all of the Čajaks' literary works.
The exhibition is located in an original house next to the Church of St. John the Baptist on the outskirts of Liptovský Ján. In the exhibition, visitors can use original tools and equipment to crush ore, process it in sluice troughs, work it in smithing fires and then mint coins.
Miniatures and Railways
Mini Slovensko Park has a garden railway with trains running on several tracks. The miniature theme park presents detailed models of Slovak cultural monuments at a scale of 1:25. Railway technology and true-to-scale architecture are presented there in a shared exhibition setting.
