Havránok

Havránok is an open-air museum near Liptovská Mara dam with reconstructed Celtic buildings from the Iron Age that you can walk through and explore. The site includes residential structures, fortifications, and workshops where visitors see how people organized their daily lives.

Excavations revealed a Celtic settlement built by the Kotin tribe between 300 and 100 BC in the Liptov region. The archaeological evidence shows how this community developed and maintained its presence through the Iron Age.

The site displays a reconstructed Celtic ceremonial ground where you can see how Iron Age communities practiced their rituals and connected with their spiritual beliefs. Walking through these spaces helps you understand what mattered most to people who lived here over two millennia ago.

The museum operates from May through October with extended summer hours, and guided tours help you understand the excavations and reconstructions. The site has well-maintained paths connecting the buildings, making it easy to explore at your own pace.

Visitors can watch experimental archaeology in action, where researchers recreate and test Celtic crafting techniques from the Iron Age. These hands-on demonstrations reveal exactly how pottery was fired and tools were made centuries ago.
