Tips for visitors

The best time to visit the peasant settlement in Ždiar is during the early morning, when the village is quieter atmosphere and light is ideal for shooting traditional Goral architecture with the Belianske Tatras. Be sure to take comfortable tight shoes with you, because the settlement area has uneven terrain, and don't forget the sun protection and drinking regime. The exteriors of original wooden houses and courtyards serve for photography, while the most beautiful pictures are taken in the morning when the sun's rays highlight the structure of the wood and surrounding nature.
