Rajecká kotlina, Low spot in Žilina District, Slovakia.
The elongated basin spans 15 kilometers from Rajecká Lesná to Turie, with the Rajčanka river and its tributaries flowing through the central area.
Archaeological discoveries reveal that initial settlements in Rajecká kotlina emerged during the Eneolithic period, followed by Slavic inhabitants in the 6th century.
The region contains numerous protected natural zones including Kľak, Kozol, Šujské rašelinisko, and Turská skala, which showcase native plant species.
The main transportation route through the basin follows road I/64, connecting the cities of Žilina and Prievidza via Rajecké Teplice and Rajec.
The basin borders include the Turianský potok in the north, the Čierňanka river near Rajec in the west, and the Lúčanská Fatra mountains in the east.
