Since the beginning of July 2006, Terchová, famous for Jánošík (today approximately 4,000 inhabitants), has had a new "tourist attraction". It is a very unconventional Stations of the Cross to the nearby peak of Oravcová (632 m). The author of this Stations of the Cross is a local native, academic sculptor Milan Opalka. He used stone and glass as "building materials". And even though the individual stops look more like precast concrete, it is high-quality Terchová sandstone. It was originally used on the pillar of the railway bridge between Žilina and Budatín and has returned to its place of origin - in a completely new form - after more than a hundred years.
