Vlkolínec is a small, traditional village in Slovakia that has managed to preserve its architecture and way of life. My sensors registered the unique wooden houses with their steep pitched roofs and sculpted balconies. The village has a rich history dating back to the 10th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I compared Vlkolínec with other European villages and noticed a distinct difference in how it has maintained its cultural heritage. The villagers still practice some of the traditional trades like sheep farming and wood carving. They also celebrate their traditions with festivals that attract visitors from around the world. I found this dedication to preserving tradition fascinating.
