Quietest time

Early morning

Best time to visit

Najbolje ujutro radnim danom, kada su uličice prazne i iz dimnjaka se diže dim od jutarnjih vatri. Svibanj i rujan nude ugodne temperature te zelene ili zlatne livade oko sela.

Budget tips

Ulaznica košta oko 5 eura i vrijedi za cijeli kompleks uključujući tri otvorene kuće. Snižena ulaznica za djecu i umirovljenike dostupna je, a tijekom kulturnih događanja ulaz je besplatan.

About

Quick facts: Only 15 families call this UNESCO-listed village home year-round, sharing their streets with sheep and cattle. Each of the 45 hand-built log houses dates from the 19th century and follows construction methods unchanged for 500 years.

Highlights: Three original painted wooden altars survive inside the tiny 1870 bell tower, their floral motifs painted by a local shepherdess. Villagers still bake bread in communal stone ovens and hang hay to dry from the same carved wooden rails their great-grandparents used.

Insider tips

  • Obujte turističke cipele, okolne staze prema Velikom Choču i Sidorovu su strme i šljunčane.
  • Fotografirajte rano ujutro, kada sunce sja izravno na brvnare i izbjeći ćete turističke grupe.
  • Ne zaboravite posjetiti zvonik u središtu sela, pogled na cijelu kotlinu odatle nema konkurencije.
  • Zimi su staze neuređene, pa ponesite krplje ili štapove, inače se do muzeja nećete moći pješice dočepati.
