The route begins at the car park near the site of the Východná Folk Festival, which takes place in early July every year. There are several parking options around the grounds, but the closest car park is right next to the main entrance. It’s a short walk – just five minutes or so – manageable for children and less mobile visitors. The site also features an observation tower, wooden sculptures, a small children’s playground, and a snack bar offering refreshments – HybajHo. Please refer to the snack bar’s website for its current opening hours (which may be restricted in off-season months).
The Májka observation tower is open daily from July to September. Outside these months, entry may be arranged by phoning in advance. Guided tours of the tower and amphitheatre in Východná by a local guide are available. This is your chance to learn fascinating facts and hear intriguing anecdotes and stories from the amphitheatre’s history.
