Museum of Painted Wood Čičmany
Highlight • Historical Site
The painted wooden houses of Čičmany are famous for their geometric patterns applied with white paints on black wooden walls. These decorations, which originally served both aesthetic and practical purposes, protected the wood from the weather conditions while reflecting cultural symbols and traditions.
The museum displays historical exhibits explaining the development of painted wooden houses and the meaning of the patterns. It also shows the techniques used to create these ornate motifs and exhibits materials used in painting and building the houses. In addition, visitors will learn more about the life and traditions of the village community that has maintained this craft tradition for centuries.
The museum is a wonderful place to discover the cultural identity of Čičmany and Slovak folk art. It contributes to the preservation of this unique tradition and is a must-see for anyone who wants to learn more about the history and art of Slovak rural life.

Penzión Javorina, Čičmany
Highlight • Restaurant
The rooms at Penzión Javorina are cozily furnished and offer a combination of traditional ambience and modern comfort. Guests can enjoy homemade Slovak specialties, often made from local ingredients, and appreciate the warm hospitality of the staff.
The guest house is an ideal base for activities in the area. In addition to exploring the famous painted wooden houses and the historic village, visitors can go hiking in the surrounding nature or take advantage of the nearby ski resorts in winter.
They cook excellently there. I have eaten there several times and can highly recommend the sauerkraut soup (kapustnica) and the Slovak national dish “bryndzové halušky”.
