VLKOLÍNEC is a monument reserve of folk architecture included in the List of the World Cultural and Nature Heritage of UNESCO in 1993. Its unique compound of original folk buildings remained untouched by modern construction. Originally it was the settlement of loggers, shepherds and farmers.
Vlkolínec is included in the National Park of Veľká Fatra. The cyclist route crosses it and owners of several private houses offer accommodation. The interesting folk event called “Sunday in Vlkolínec” is organised every summer at the beginning of August.
