Seasonal recommendations
In spring, the Chicmanes are lost. Surrounding the hills of Žilina region green them and the air is refreshing, creating a pleasant contrast to traditional architecture. Spring weather is unstable, so we recommend putting on layers. The ideal time to visit is the morning when the roads are freer.
Summer season brings bright lights, which highlights white walls and detailed geometric patterns of folk house. Nature is in full bloom. Since this is the main tourist peak, we recommend that you arrive as soon as possible in the morning to avoid the big crowds. Remember light clothes and sun protection.
Autumn in Čičmany brings gold and red colors, which beautifully complement the wooden construction of houses. The murky mornings give the village a mysterious mood. During walks are suitable waterproof shoes due to moisture. For a quieter view, look for a date during working days.
In winter, snow on roofs and landscapes creates a magical view, while the white surface of the landscape combines with distinctive facades. The atmosphere is cozy, especially in advent times. Due to the low temperature, warm thermal clothing is essential.
