Chochołów - still wooden village

[Bonobo]

Chochołów - a traditional wooden village in the mountains. Today - a popular tourist resort.

Chochołów is a village comprised almost exclusively of the heritage Polish wooden houses (góralskie chaty) built by the Góral highlanders. It became known as the place of Chochołów Uprising of 1846 (Powstanie chochołowskie) against the foreign oppression throughout the nineteenth century Austrian Partition of Poland.
Its economy is closely associated with the popular Polish-Slovak border crossing.

Too big to be a Hobbit village.

Those Highlanders are conservative. Secondly, they realised long ago that their devotion to tradition attracts a greater number of urban tourists who desire sth else than a typical city environment.

Be prepared. Highlanders are known for greediness. Tradition.

Can`t you just buy that village and transfer it to the US beam by beam, like a few Americans did with their French castles or English bridges?

Of course I could...when I win the lottery!

(I don't even buy lottery tickets...I'm not a gambler!)
