📍 Destination Overview
Cicmany lies in the Strazov Mountains of central Slovakia, one of its most unique villages, famous for painted wooden houses: 18th-19th century homes with black, red and ochre geometric motifs on white lime, masterpieces of folk art woven by village women. On the UNESCO tentative list, some houses are folk museums; costumes and painted eggs show the village's art.
