Ľudové múzeum in Brezovica is a reflection of the rich history of the village of Brezovica in the Sabinov district. The village, situated at the junction of the Levočské vrchy and Bachureň mountains, can boast living elements of folk architecture and traditional crafts to this day. The history of the life and work of the people in the village is presented precisely by a smaller museum housed in a former mansion. Through its interesting exhibition, it will guide you through the past century in the village.

Ľudové múzeum offers a tour of traditional farm tools, period interior furnishings, as well as old photographs. The most valuable one dates back to 1901. A particularly interesting part of the exhibition is the complete process of flax processing, canvas and rug production. An interesting exhibit is a steamer trunk as evidence of the emigration wave that took place at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The intention of the entire exhibition is to show today's modern people traditional farm life, customs, and traditions of the people in this village

An interesting fact is that the museum in Brezovica was established on the initiative of local activists. They managed to acquire the management of the former mansion, in which the exhibition currently resides. Period items and exhibits were donated to the museum by the villagers directly from their homes. The tour of the exhibition and the photo mini-gallery is free of charge. If you are interested in a journey into the history of this village, we recommend arranging a date in advance by phone or email.

Ľudové múzeum is proof of the respect of its founders and local residents for the life and heritage of their ancestors. You can combine the tour of the exhibition in winter with family skiing at the popular Dubovica – Žliabky resort, and in the summer season with refreshment, relaxation, and water fun at Aquapark Lipany. A wonderful space for a walk and relaxation with family in nature is offered by the nearby Rožkovianske rybníky ponds. An original attraction called Lačnovská gravitačná anomália can then be found in the territory of the nearby village of Lipovce, on the way to the Zlá diera cave. The ball is said to roll uphill here. Is that really so? Come and see for yourself.

Nestville Park in Hniezdne is among the youngest museums in the Stará Ľubovňa district. It was established in 2012 along with the exhibition of distilling and traditional folk crafts, Nestville Distillery. The name itself was created by combining two English words, nest and ville, which translates to the village of Hniezdne. Come and see the home of the first Slovak whisky, and at the same time, tour one of the most modern alcohol refineries in Central Europe.

The Nestville Distillery exhibition is divided into three parts. The historical part is dedicated to demonstrations of folk crafts closely linked to distilling. The modern part will guide you through the refinery, where more than 35,000 tons of grain are processed annually. Located in the traditional or tasting part is one of the largest hand-carved wooden reliefs in Europe, crafted by local woodcarvers. It is precisely in this section that the maturation warehouses of Nestville Whisky are situated. At the end of the tour, you can treat your taste buds and sample Nestville Whisky or unpasteurized and unfiltered craft beer, Nestville Beer.

Sit back over a cup of hot chocolate or quality coffee and taste delicious Belgian pralines, fabulous homemade desserts, or delightful chocolate liqueur. While enjoying your sweet treat, you can watch the chocolate production process through glass.

At Nestville Park, they have also thought of your children, who will experience plenty of fun at a large, modern playground. A rope pyramid, slides, climbing frames, spring rockers, a tube slide, trampolines, and many other play features await them.

They won't leave you hungry here either. You can have lunch at the Nestville Taberna restaurant, which also houses a craft brewery. The unique "farm to table" concept will enhance the culinary experience of the served specialties.
