    Ľupča is a place where you can see what happens to a town founded because of the local gold and silver deposits when the silver and gold run out.
    Between 1390 and 1946 it was called Nemecká Ľupča (German Ľupča), due to the Saxon settlers who came here in the 13th century. They were not a majority but would hold all the crucial functions. The town was granted numerous privileges and became an important town in Liptov. The fall of Ľupča occurred during the 19th century which initially was a prosperous time (this is when the newer church was built), but by its end Ľupča was a town that lost the battle with the global industrialisation process and fell into decay. The 20th century wasn't better - the Saxon German were expelled after the WW2, the traditional name was changed to Partizánská (partisan’s); there was no space even for a German name in communist Czechoslovakia. Some houses remain empty still today.
    Nowadays, this village of some 1200 habitants is a sleepy decaying image of what it once was. There are two interesting churches on the big main square - the Roman Catholic one built in the 13th century, later modified many times. It has the biggest tower among all Liptov churches. The second one is a Neoclassical 19th century Protestant Church.
    You won't find any grocery stores until arriving to Lúžna, so do your supplies here if necesary. There is plenty of water though, directly from the springs.
