Seasonal recommendations
In spring, the farmstead comes back to life. Fresh greenery and the first blooming plants adorn the area around the granary, adding a sense of freshness to the site. We recommend visiting in the early morning when the air is freshest. The weather can be unpredictable, so do not forget a light waterproof coat and layered clothing.
The summer season brings brighter light and gardens in full bloom. The contrast between the sunny courtyard and the coolness inside the granary creates a pleasant sensory experience. It is best to visit right at opening to avoid the crowds. Please wear comfortable footwear suitable for the terrain.
Autumn wraps the courtyard in golden hues and a melancholic mood that complements the historic wooden architecture. Misty mornings give the farmstead a mysterious look and a sense of peace. During this season, it is advisable to dress warmer to handle the cooler temperatures. The best time to visit is in the afternoons.
In winter, the farmstead feels peaceful and cozy, especially when the roofs are covered in snow. Due to the frost, it is essential to wear very warm clothing, including waterproof boots.
