Why visit

A large open-air museum preserving timber houses, farms, workshops and village traditions of Moravian Wallachia. Founded in the 1920s, the museum developed into several distinct areas that document town, village and industrial life through original and reconstructed buildings. It is included because it adds a distinctive experience to a realistic Rožnov pod Radhoštěm or regional itinerary rather than acting as a filler stop.

What you will see

Little Wooden Town.
Wallachian Village.
Water Mill Valley.
