Holiday apartment in Vrbovce – meadows of the White Carpathians and culture

Vrbovce is set in a landscape where protected nature, marked trails and traditional culture exist closely side by side. A considerable part of the cadastral area lies within the Biele Karpaty Protected Landscape Area. In the surrounding area, flower-rich meadows remain characteristic of the vegetation to this day. The unique meadows of the White Carpathians also harbour a wealth of terrestrial orchids that is significant for Central Europe.

Nature

The cadastral area of Vrbovce contains a natural monument within the Biele Karpaty Protected Landscape Area. This natural monument is part of the Žalostiná Natura 2000 site. The area around the village therefore combines the protection of a larger landscape with a specifically designated natural area. The meadows and their vegetation form an independent component of the landscape, while Žalostiná further specifies the nature conservation classification of the natural monument.

Culture

The Vrbovčianska izba was established in Vrbovce in 2001 as a local ethnographic memorial room. It displays folk domestic culture, handicrafts, work and festive costumes, as well as other historical objects. Traditional folk architecture in Vrbovce includes shared courtyards and several residential houses arranged one behind another. The original architecture of the Kopaničiari settlements has also been preserved.

Individual buildings also reflect different chapters of the village’s history. The Evangelical Church of Tolerance in Vrbovce dates from 1784. The Church of Saint Elizabeth in Vrbovce is a national cultural monument. In the Šance district, the railway station building has a memorial plaque commemorating Maruška Kudeříková.
