Seasonal recommendations
Spring in Hostišovce brings awakening of nature, when surrounding greenery and the first spring flowers contrast with the traditional white facade of folk house. The atmosphere is calm and fresh, ideal for quiet perception of history without the presence of larger groups of tourists. Lighting is soft and scattered, which is very favorable when shooting authentic details of clay plasters and slim roofs. From a practical point of view, it is advisable to wear strong and waterproof footwear, as the surrounding soil is wet and mudy after winter melting. It is advisable to come in the morning when the sun warms pleasantly, but does not yet disturb the spring shade in the interior.
Summer in this region attracts warm sunny days, which stand out to look at traditional architecture surrounded by lush vegetation and blooming meadows. The atmosphere in the main season is more vibrant, as more visitors visit, while sharp midday light creates significant shadows and contrasting sceneries. For a comfortable tour, it is best to plan your arrival in the morning hours, avoiding not only the afternoon heat, but also the biggest attendance. Do not forget to bring your head covering, sunglasses and plenty of drinking water, as modern refreshments may not be available directly in the building.
Autumn hides Hostišovce in colorful shades of yellow, orange and red, while the morning fog gives the folk house a fabulous and nostalgic character. The lighting in this period is warm and soft, while the sun, which is already below the horizon, creates long shadows and unique depths for outdoors. During the dry days of November the atmosphere is extremely chambery and the visitor can enjoy the monument in complete silence. The practical advice includes a selection of layered clothing and windproof jackets, as temperatures can drop sharply, especially when the afternoon rain flashes or the colder wind blows.
Winter transforms Hostišovce into a quiet landscape with white cover, in which traditional folk house operates cozy and resistant to freezing weather. The atmosphere is calm, almost meditative, underlined by early dusk and curious chimneys in the surrounding village. Lighting during December and January is short, but the low winter sun beautifully illuminates the snowy roof and snowdrift around the courtyard. Due to the frosts and shorter day time it is necessary to choose warm winter clothes including cap, gloves and strong boots.
