Čičmany
The typical village ČIČMANY surrounded by the mountains Strážovské vrchy and Malá Fatra in the southern part of the valley Rajecká dolina is famous for its original log houses with the typical white ornamentation.
The visit to the Bojnice Castle includes that of a natural cave located in the tufaceous accumulation on which the castle is built. The diameter of the cave is 22 m and its height is 6 m. It is located 26-m below the level of the fourth courtyard with a water well.
The cave was created as a result of atmospheric rainfalls of water which flew in here throughout the crater and surface rifts into the middle of the tufaceous accumulation. Water disintegrated and washed away the travertine, whereby it created the current circle-shaped space of the cave with the decoration on the walls. There are two lakes (8 to 12 m deep) in the cave that are most likely connected with the others in other underground spaces in which this tufaceous accumulation is abundant.
