Veľká Fatra National Park, National park in Žilina region, Slovakia.
Located in central Slovakia, Veľká Fatra National Park spans 404 square kilometers of continuous forest landscapes with mountains, valleys, and limestone formations.
The territory received protection status as a Protected Landscape Area in 1973 and gained National Park designation in 2002 to preserve natural resources.
The park contains historical ridge-top cattle pastures dating from the 15th to 17th centuries, connected to the Walachian settlement period.
