Seasonal recommendations
In spring, a visit to the folk house in Prešov is surrounded by waking nature and freshness of new growth. Fine spring light highlights the details of traditional architecture. It is recommended to dress in a layer to be ready for variable weather and arrive in the morning.
The summer season brings to the area the rich colors of flowered gardens. Thanks to the main summer season there are most visitors, so it is best to come right at the opening. Do not forget light clothes and plenty of drinking water.
Autumn puts the surroundings of the house in golden and red tones, which gives the place a calm mood. Mooring mornings are ideal for photographing details of wooden construction. It is practical to put on waterproof shoes and visit the ammonia in the first autumn months.
In winter the folk house is the most cozy, especially if the roof is covered with snow. The contrast between the freezing outdoor environment and the traditional interior creates an interesting experience, especially in advent times. It is necessary to dress very warmly and monitor the shortened opening time.
