Village Ždiar and its history

We will be visiting a lovely village called Ždiar in second half of our day. The village is located in Bela Valley. A part of this area lies on the slopes of Spišská Magura. It is one of the coldest villages in Slovakia.

The village of Ždiar was founded at the beginning of the 17-th century. It was a part of Lendacké county, later it was owned by Horváth-Palocsay. In 1787 there were 120 houses and 794 inhabitants living here.

In 1828 there were 155 houses and 1118 inhabitants living here. Most of the Ždiar population were farmers, shepherds, miners who in the 19-th century started to be interested in tourism too. In 1918 and in 1938 the village was conquered by the Polish army.

Ždiar is famous for its original folk dress. After the departure of the Polish Army the village was a part of the town of High Tatras to 1960. It is still attractive to tourists as to its excellent ski facilities and well built infrastructure.
