Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Čičmany

The World's First Folk Architecture Reserve
In Slovakia, you can travel back to 1272 just by visiting the world's first folk architecture reserve, the village of Čičmany. The village, surrounded by mountains, is catchy enough even for those who are just passing by due to its timbered houses with white geometrical patterns decorating the walls.
These were first made by using mud and lime and later, in the 19th century the houses' exteriors were painted to protect the logs from the sun. Motifs were also added.
