Bešeňovské travertíny, Natural reserve with travertine formations in District of Ružomberok, Slovakia.
The reserve contains four distinct sections including Red Terraces, Chapel Rock, Pool Basin, and White Terraces with multiple mineral springs.
The area received official protection status in December 1951, leading to preservation efforts supervised by the Tatra National Park administration.
The extracted golden Bešeňová travertine decorates the Comenius University building in Bratislava and various structures across Western Europe.
Mineral water from the springs remains drinkable, containing high concentrations of calcium carbonate, magnesium, iron, and sulfur compounds.
The iron content in springs increases during winter months, resulting in deeper red coloration of surface travertine layers compared to summer periods.
