For days when you don't fancy the ridge or the weather isn't right for hiking, there's an open-air museum, a cave, rock for climbing and thermal water nearby. These trips work for kids and adults alike, and most of them are close to Zuberec.
An open-air museum below the Roháče, a day out for the whole family
An open-air museum in the Brestová meadow just above Zuberec. Original Goral log houses, a small church and a mill were brought here from all over Orava, so you can walk through a village as it once was. From Zuberec it's about 45 minutes on foot along the red trail.

An underground trip next to the open-air museum
The first show cave of Orava and the Western Tatras, with an underground stream. The tour takes about 50 minutes; the entrance is opposite the Orava Village Museum by the wooden amphitheatre.
