There are towns in Slovakia that offer nice views but… not much more than that. But there's a reason. Námestovo, although funded in the 16th century, doesn't have much more than the old church; some 60% of the town was destroyed during the WW2 campaign. A great part of the old town disappeared under the waters of Orava Reservoir.
Apart from the church and the attractions of the Lake, there is one curiosity - the old Jewish cemetery right by the waters of the lake. This once significant community was persecuted from 1918 on and gone during the WW2. On the other hand, local people gave shelter to many refugees, many of them could work at the construction of the dam.

Yes it is an artificial lake for the production of electricity, in the center there is an island. The sunsets are particularly impressive
