Poloniny III. – Ladomírová

I apologize, but due to more information being available in Slovak websites, all the links point to resources in Slovak language. However, Google Translate works like a charm!

Each morning in Ulič was this beautifully foggy.

Entering Medzilaborce. There is the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art, but it’s not allowed to take any photos there, so there’s that.

Havaj is real.

Ladomírová

Bilingual memorial.

Inside the wooden Church of St. Michael Archangel of Ladomírová.
Krajné Čierno (could be translated as “Outer Black/ness” or “Extreme Black/ness”).

Poloniny II. – Humenné & Brekov

Abandoned convenience store in Príslop.

Humenné, currently a bank and possibly previously national savings bank.

Beautiful coloured luxfera (“glass brick”), I wonder why they are not used more commonly.

Traditional folk and open air museum in Humenné. Almost pain to see how poor and undeveloped country we were.

Fast-forward to Manor in Humenné. Apart from traditional exposition which seems interchangeable with any other manor, there were a few artistic decoration elements & detail worth of noticing.

Brekov Castle, just in time for sunset.
Humenné and eponymous village below the castle ruins.

Poloniny I. – Ulič


What we thought is an abandoned wreck, disappeared one day, only to appear later. Absence of registration plate is not relevant here in this region 😀

Notice the identical roof shape – looks like a settlement built for industrial or state workers – makes me think of various settlements such as Masarykova kolónia or Baťova kolónia in Svit. However, there is no apparent industry nearby or anything that would suggest requirement for development of such housing capacities.

Miniatures of the regional wooden churches of the Eastern rite, complete with artifical hilltops and tiny trees. Some of the real counterparts were completely destroyed, so the replicas serve commemoration.
