Beneath the majestic Orava Castle is located a unique project that revives Slovakia's ancient past -Medieval Village - Archeoskanzen. This fascinating place is a unique open-air museum that offers visitors an authentic experience of the life of an ordinary person in the Early Middle Ages, specifically during the era of Great Moravia.
Here you can admire faithful replicas of buildings of period architecture, which will transport you to the past without the need for a time machine. The view of thick wooden beams, thick stone walls and gray straw on the roofs of buildings is impressive and evokes the atmosphere of the life of our ancestors.
The visit also includes meetings with craftsmen dressed in period costumes, who not only demonstrate their skills, but are willing to present their art and offer you the opportunity to try the craft for yourself. Whether it is the work of a blacksmith, a potter or a weaver, the experience is unforgettable.
For lovers of a more active vacation, a ride in a ribbed wagon is ready, which will allow you to feel the travel of the past. If you like tension and competition, you can test your archery skills and take away with you the feeling of what medieval warriors must have felt.
And as the highlight of the program, unique falconry performances will undoubtedly impress. During them you can admire the beauty and elegance of the birds of prey, as well as the skill of the falconers who work with them.
In the summer months, the village is open regularly, but outside of the high season, visits are only possible with a prior booking.
