History

The inhabitants moved to the mountains at the time of the summer, but the families gradually settled in the places where they were in the summer, and so the settlements of Zázrivej such as Ráztoky, Havrania, Petrová, Biela and others were created. In 1615, the definitive boundaries of Zázrivej were determined. For the reign of King Louis II. during his childhood he reigned on Orave Rytier Dônč, who donated to Valacha from Valaska Dubová extensive meadow in the area of Plešivá and Kozinska.
