Lúčanská Malá Fatra. The mouth of the Valčianská and Slovianská valleys, and there Valča. And from a small microcosm to the macrocosm - Šutovský waterfall, Blatnica and Blatnická valley, Gaderská, Necpalská, Jasenská - Veľká Fatra valley. Turkey. Is the image of that wild and untamed nature already appear before your eyes? So now try to bet a man a few centuries ago in this region surrounded by mountains. 18./19 is also enough. and let the character and story of a Turčian oilman and saffron grow in front of your eyes. With a poodle with fragrant ointments and oils from medicinal Turčianske herbs and with saffron, they have traveled a good part of the world - Poland, Lithuania, Russia, but also Turkey and faraway Asia. They returned home not only with money but also with knowledge. About practical things, about life in other countries, about Slavism and Slavs. Thanks to them, exceptional oil houses were built here in Turkey for the time being, and you will also find a founding member of Matica slovenská in the Čvikotov family in Valčany.
We may not be of this family and maybe even our cottages are not oil-bearing, but we have paid tribute to them and our nature. The twins, Olejkárka and Slovianka, are standing under the peaks of Mala Fatra, and maybe when you close your eyes, an ancient story will come to life before your eyes. Then slowly open them and enjoy the presence. With us. In WoodPark. In the Valčianska valley.
SLOVAKIAN & OIL PAN
From the outside, similar to an egg egg. Like twins that you wouldn't be able to tell apart. But inside... each one is different. And each of them inspired by a different story and the surrounding world. The first, older one, is called Olejkárka and tells the story of the life of oil producers from Turca, who passed down their family recipes from generation to generation since the 17th century. About their connection with nature and using its gifts, about traveling the wide world. The second, younger one, is called Slovianka and her story is nature. Slovianska dolina in Mala Fatra, stream and mineral spring.
Each of them with an area of 150 m2. On the ground floor, the living room is connected to the dining room and kitchen. You will also find a bathroom and a utility room where you can store your ski equipment in the winter.
On the floor of each cottage there is a bathroom and 3 bedrooms - one with a double bed (2 persons), a second bedroom with a double bed and a single bed (3 persons) and a third bedroom with a double bed, a single bed and a bunk bed (5 persons). Each cottage can accommodate 10 people, and if there are more of you, you can easily rent both cottages.
WELLNESS
Since we want you to really feel special with us, we decided to add wellness here. and so the Finnish sauna came first and we supplemented it with whirlpools. So after a good hike or skiing, your tired muscles will have a place to look forward to joy and relaxation.
ELECTRONIC CHARGER FOR CARS
And we have introduced another novelty for you - an electric charging station for electric cars. So put your worries aside and come to us! :)
You have a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal in Olejkárka and Slovianka. As usual - with everything you need when you have a creative mood by the pots. Whether the kitchen carries the scent of herbs from our herb bed by the terrace, coffee, popcorn for a movie night or whatever you want. If you have charcoal for grilling at home, bring it with you and grill or use the gas grill. In addition, you will also find a proper kettle, 25 liters enough to feed all the hungry bellies from one or both huts.
Under each bar counter you will also find a refrigerator full of wines from the family winery Vysoké pole from Skalice. So you don't have to carry your own bottles, reach for ours - a price list is available and prices are also available.
We are thinking a little about whether it is possible in this locality at all;) But definitely yes, with us. Sweet destruction on the sofa, in the whirlpool or in the summer on the terrace or in the gazebo. We believe that you will be so comfortable with us that sometimes you forget about the world around you, that is, apart from nature ...
We suggest to all active people to use the rich possibilities of Valčianská dolina and Mala Fatra. Let's mention the Snowland resort with its ski lifts, just a few minutes' walk away. Cross-country skiers will also enjoy themselves - there are 12 km of cross-country trails. Apart from the winter months, you can also go golfing, there are cycling and running trails, in-line circuit. There are also several ponds in the area, go to the ranch, if you are attracted by horseback riding, ask us where to go in the autumn for mushrooms, or go to some of the castles in the area. We will leave the choice of them to you, by car or the more able tourists, even on the hiking trails directly from Valče. Be sure to plan a hike to the tops of the mountains such as Kľak or Lysec, a bike ride to some lookout towers - for example to the one below Bokšín or at the Tank Road. If you are tempted by rafting, go to Váh (remember to book a place). And definitely do not forget to go to the Šutov and Kľac waterfalls.
If you would still like to know more about Turčiansky oilmen and saffrons, in Valča, in nearby Blatnice or other Turčianske villages, you can take a look at the few oil houses that have settled here. See the chests and poodles in the Martin Museum again. The oldest are more than 100 years old.
What’s there for children?
We suggest that you definitely pack warmers, sledges and thick gloves for your children in the winter. And preferably more pairs. After all, the snowman will not build himself and some of the snow bunkers will be added. Little athletes go skiing on the nearby slopes of Snowland and go with their parents to a forest path.
Here they will have something to do all year round. Not only is winter rich in its share (and we are not just talking about snow) - in addition to skis, you can also use skates or snowboards here, in summer, in addition to chases around the yard, go to the aforementioned Snowland. Here they have a children's pirate ship, but also a children's park with trampolines and a carousel.
After the whole day, they can hatch peacefully in their pajamas in front of the TV or even play in the children's corner.
