The Fatra culture is inextricably linked to shepherds and sheep-farming since the 15th century, when the territory of the region was colonized by the Vlachs who easily integrated into the local population. It is possible for a visitor to see a shepherd milking sheep or producing cheese in several places. The sheep farm in the pass between Terchová a Zázrivá called Rovná hora is available all year round. This sheep farm is exceptional for plenty of attractions ranging from farming of sheep and other domestic animals, an exhibition of shepherd´s work, the opportunity to watch the production of genuine Zázrivá korbáčiky (braided string cheese) and bryndza (a type of sheep cheese), through horseback or carriage rides to the tour of a typical shepherd´s hut with traditional home cuisine and accommodation.
Shepherds in the Vrátna Valley run the sheep farm seasonally from May to the end of summer. Here you can purchase the tasty May bryndza, sheep cheese or whey. The sheep farm can be found on the right side of the road to Vrátna between the intersection to Štefanová and Starý dvor.
