The Village of Osturňa is a written chronicle of a difficult life in a hostile but beautiful area of Spišská Magura.  It is now a living example of our history, memorial of our forefathers, a small village that ignores time, sneers the modern age, haste, and an unhealthy life style. Declaration of the village for A Conservation Preserve of Folk Architecture in 1979 helps preserve the heritage of our forefathers for other generations.  

Osturňa was not created artificially but is an example of the living open-air museum of Slovakia. It is a gem of the Zamagurie area created by our local people hard-working hands. The village of Osturňa belongs to the most perspective villages of Zamagurie region for tourism.
