A special spot lies by the stream. If you follow it through Omastiná, you reach a place with crystal-clear water and a gentle waterfall. The stream landscape complements the described mountain trails with a specific natural feature within the village.

Villagescape and History

Omastiná preserves traditional folk architecture. This includes regularly arranged stone houses separated from one another by the stream in the village centre. The vernacular houses include upper-floor chambers, locally called “výšky”, which were usually accessed via an external staircase. The village also has a bell tower with a square ground plan and a Baroque bell dating from 1742. A monument in the centre commemorates the victims of the Slovak National Uprising.

Older traces also reach back into the history of the present-day municipal area: a settlement with fluted pottery was located in Vlčí dol cave. Omastiná once had a water mill with a millrace dating from the late 18th century; it was shut down in 1959. During the Second World War, the residents of Omastiná supported partisan units and took part in the Slovak National Uprising.
