The town of Ružomberok is a good place to take a break, as there are many places to stop for a break in the lively center. There are also some sights, such as the beautiful hilltop church of St. Ondrej. As a tourist center there are also many leisure activities, including a bike park.

Mount Roses - we could say, as this is the original, German name of the place (Rosenberg), founded in the 14th century which later got Slovakised for Ružomberok. An important city in northern Slovakia - for the industry (big factories with the cellulose factory seen from far) and the history. It was one of the centres of the Slovak national demonstrations in the 19th century, leadered by fr Andrej Hlinka, a Slovak national hero. It used to be a multinational city - hence the Protestant church and a synagogue. Nowadays this 30.000 town is a regional centre of industry, education and also tourism - situated conveniently between Greater Fatra (Velká Fatra), Chočské Vrchy and Low Tatras. Easily accessible by international trains as it lies on the train arteria of Czechia and Slovakia (Bohumin Košice line).
Visiting Ružomberok:
St Andrew Church, situated on a hill but it's worth the climb. There is a panoramic terrace next to the church. Built around 1318 originally in Gothic style with later modifications, today a Renaissance - Baroque style building with many Gothic elements inside.
Town Hall building, neo-Baroque style, 1895.
Ľudovít Fulla gallery, an important Slovak painter.
Old Town worth a short walk through Podhora street and the train station, on the other side on Váh River.
Synagogue from 1880, recently renovated.
