not every gable in Podbiel is original
Podbiel is a small town in the Orava region of Slovakia, near the Polish border. The town distinguishes itself with its large collection of wooden houses, which – unlike in many other villages – are quite well integrated into the rest of town. Clearly, people are living in these houses, and they are not just there to please the tourist – even though, apparently, some of the houses have been turned into tourist accommodation. Nevertheless, it is an impressive collection!
Oh, and there are more in the open-air museum in Zuberec.
a row of wooden houses, right on the main road to Poland
some houses have been patched up and decorated
like these, quite possibly tourist accomodation
this is the door of a normal house
and its window, perhaps
this is an original facade and gable
and not all the houes have a wooden roof with shingles anymore, sometimes corrugated iron will do – which makes the whole thing a lot more normal, too
