Agricultural demonstrations
Vlkolínec is not an open-air museum – it is a living place where flax, vegetables grow and where we take care of bees. During the summer we will show you:
- flax processing from field to thread
- traditional beekeeping and honey tasting
- harvesting and exhibition of fruits from our fields
- wool processing
- cheese production
