Folk architecture is one of the symbols of Slovakia. It has survived in many villages and nowadays it attracts tourists from all over the world. Wooden architecture above all is typical for Slovakia. It drew inspiration in log constructions built by the old Slavs and although the original log structures are rare in Slovak villages there are still abundant wonderful examples of wooden folk architecture. Visiting the regions in central and eastern Slovakia may represent a special experience as these are the ones that boast many Conservation Reserves of Folk Architecture. Perhaps the best known of them is the small mountain village of Vlkolínec with an extra remarkable set of wooden structures. The village has been included into the UNESCO List of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1993.
