Seasonal recommendations
Spring brings fresh greenery, which surrounds the wooden church r.k. The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary and highlights its texture. The atmosphere is calm and full of optimism, while the gentle spring light creates a pleasant environment for meditation. It is recommended to put on layered clothing because the weather in Prešov region is unstable. A visit in the morning will allow silence before more tourists arrive.
Summer season is characterized by sunshine and dense vegetation that provides natural shade. Details of wooden architecture are the best visible in bright lighting. In the main summer season it is advisable to arrive as soon as possible in the morning to avoid crowds and warm weather. Do not forget light clothes and plenty of drinking water.
Autumn dresses the landscape into golden and red tones, creating a harmonious whole with a wooden church. The murky mornings give the place a mysterious atmosphere. When planning a visit, choose waterproof shoes as the terrain may be wet. The best light for photography is in the earlier afternoon.
Winter season brings silence and visual contrast between dark wood church and snow. In Advent time the monument works peacefully. Due to low temperatures it is necessary to dress very warm clothes.
