Next, we want to visit the Arwa reservoir near the Polish border.
We drive along it in search of a restaurant for our lunch. In the process, we overlook a road sign and, even though there isn't really a proper town here, we are caught speeding by the police and have to pay 40 €. It's just not our day today! We are also put off our lunch.
We leave the reservoir and drive to Tvrdosin. Here, in the middle of a cemetery, there is another historic wooden church from the first half of the 15th century. Very pretty!
On our way, we finally find a restaurant where we can have a typical Slovak meal: a hearty bowl dish with dumplings, sauerkraut, sausage, and bacon pieces; spicy and nutritious.
The last stop is Podbiel in the Orava Valley. Along the noisy main road, there is a row of beautiful Arwa log houses that are inhabited.
Along the way, we pass through small villages where traditional wooden houses can still be found amidst newer ones.
Then we've had enough for today. We drive back to Zuberec, have a coffee with pastries in the village, and relax in our guesthouse.
