• Vlkolinec UNESCO Village

    September 11, 2025 in Slovakia ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    A day off from hiking today. It was a choice between sight seeing or going to the aqua park, neither of which Nigel was particularly excited about 🙄 Sightseeing won so we headed off to Vlkolinec which is a mountain village comprised of a church, school & different coloured painted log houses, unchanged since the 14th century hence the UNESCO listing. I can imagine it gets very busy in the summer but today there was only a handful of people there.
