Houses of Likavka in the valley of Likavka stream. In front of the Chočské vrchy we see the ruins of Likava castle. - The village lies close to the castle; it had 1220 Slovak inhabitants in the early 1850s. It was the centre of a great fiscal domain to which a dairy farm belonged in the village. Large forests rich in game surround the settlement. - Bibliography: Fényes Elek. - For information on Likava, see:
