Mining house Vyšná Boca

Exposure of the traditional way of life and living of a mining family in a house with original original equipment. It was donated for museum purposes by the last owner, Daniel Böhmer.

The miner ‘s house has a five-room layout with the original heating system. The entrance area is a pitvor, which, in addition to the communication function, was also used for food preparation. The front room was only occasionally occupied.

In the back room, which in the past was used for sleeping and daily life, there is an exposition on the history of mining in the vicinity of Vyšná Boca . There are two chambers in the house, one so-called bedroom for occasional sleeping and storage of duvets and clothes, the second chamber was used to store household utensils and food. In the economic building, the “stable”, which is part of the homestead, there is an exposition of cattle, sheep and meadow farming, which were characteristic features of the Bocianská dolina valley and became one of the main occupations of the local population after the suppression of mining activity.

During the summer, demonstrations of traditional forms of hay transport , “Bocké batohy” , and occasional events dedicated to the mining traditions of Bocianská dolina are being prepared.
