Venue
Rožnov pod Radhoštěm is a small town situated in the Southwest part of the Czech Republic
called Valachia, which is formed from the picturesque Moravskoslezské Beskydy
mountains and the Vsetín peaks. The region of Valachia gets its name from
the shepherds - Valachs - who settled in the 12th century. With the joining
of the mountain shepherds and the farmers, who settled in the valleys and
mountains of this region, came some exceptionally charming national traditions,
and started the establishment of the impressive traditional architecture
in the form of wooden buildings, which even now are a part
of the strong folklore tradition. You can see interesting samples of this
tradition in the Open-air Museum directly in the town.
