This laid-back area doesn't provide too many big-name tourist attractions, but if you are a nature lover, there are secluded forests that allow hiding from civilisation for many days.

Most commonly from Ruzomberok.

Because there are only relatively small (but long) villages in the area, the public bus connections aren't ideal - while timely, they only operate a few times a day.

• 48.988619.30311 Brankov waterfall (Brankovský vodopád). Highest waterfall of Low Tatras, especially nice in winter.  (updated Nov 2016)

• 48.889919.28391 Ruzomberok-Korytnica cycle path (Cyklokorytnička) (Start at the bridge between the streets Krčméryho and Šoltésovej, continue along the Revúca river.). A bike road in place of former "small train" track, mostly flat - it's a nice all-day long trip for families, as you can avoid the main road on most of it. Korytnica used to be a famous spa area, but now it is somewhat degraded. There are some restaurants and mineral water springs in the area.  (updated Nov 2016)
• Hike to 48.893819.3312 Prašivá or Veľká Chocuľa peaks in Low Tatras (Start in Liptovská Lúžna or Korytnica). The hike up is quite steep for an hour or two.  (updated Nov 2016)
• 48.9819.3623 Salatín peak (From Liptovská Lúžna, approx. 2.5h one way.). A peak with good views, the ascend is somewhat steep near the peak.  (updated Nov 2016)
• Relax at 48.9484819.274374 Gothal aquapark. A relatively small aquapark with a pool, few whirpools, wellness, bowling and minigolf. Also pizza available.  (updated Nov 2016)
• Fishing at 48.993319.28935 Revuca river. Pretty popular area amongst locals - during summer, many groups of people spend weekends here in tents, relaxing, rafting the (rather cold) river etc.  (updated Nov 2016)
• Climb a small 48.94081719.2263586 Via ferrata Dve Veže.  

Great Fatra (and its edges) provides a few skiing areas:

• 48.998319.20327 Smrekovica (From Ružomberok, turn into Podsuchá and go up the valley.). A secluded and small one, only 400 m.  (updated Oct 2016)
• 48.874119.22568 Donovaly. Not in Great Fatra nor Liptov, but right at its edge. You can spend a few days here, esp. because there is plenty of hotels and non-ski activities (e.g. park for kids).  (updated Oct 2016)
• 48.93502519.1443649 Čierny kameň. A picturesque mountain, the peak is not directly accessible but marked paths are going nearby.  (updated Jan 2024)

• 48.991319.28152 Bodega. Local cuisine, pizza.  (updated Nov 2016)

In Korytnica, there are several mineral water springs - if that's your thing. The water is also commercially used.

Ruzomberok and Liptovský Michal provide other nearby attractions.
