Our region

A region with unique potential

The Pieniny and Zamagurie region represents an important part of Slovakia's cultural, natural, and community heritage.

Its identity is shaped by mountain landscapes, the Dunajec River, traditional settlements, local customs, and the close relationship between communities and their surrounding environment.
