Seasonal recommendations
Monument: Farmhouse
In spring, the surroundings of the folk house in Šemetkovce will wake up to life. Fresh greenery and flowering trees create an optimistic atmosphere, while fine spring light highlights the details of traditional architecture.
Summer season brings full bloom of nature and intense sunlight, which beautifully illuminates the wooden structures of the house. The atmosphere is playful and full of life, which complements the sounds of insects in the surroundings.
Autumn wraps the ammonia into golden and red tones, while the morning fog-filled atmosphere adds a nostalgic touch to the place. It pleasantly contrasts colorful leaves with natural wood construction.
In winter there is a folk house in Šemetkovce quietly and calmly, especially if the roof is covered with snow. Due to low temperatures, warm and layered clothing is essential.
Please note that during this period the opening time may be shortened, so we recommend a visit at noon, especially in advent time.
