Putting up a Maypole is a tree, it is a fir, spruce, or birch. Its trunk is cleaned of bark and branches, which are left only at the top of the tree. It is decorated with various ribbons and bows. On the eve of May 1, a young man who liked some unmarried girl secretly placed the maypole in front of her house. Sometimes, when there were more young men interested in one girl, the suitors destroyed each other's maypoles. So, a maypole meant serious interest, while the tree had to be really nice, symmetrical, and nicely decorated. If the maypole is also decorated with a wreath with long ribbons, it should mean that the girl will marry the suitor soon. Maypole with a wreath is therefore a symbol of a love promise. This tradition was accompanied by singing and dancing, which celebrated not only the birth of new love but also the definitive victory of spring over winter.
There are types of Slovak folk dances: Couple-curling dances, called čardáš. Male dances (verbunk, odzemok, hajduch) Female flywheel dances, called karička. Myjava is brisk cuople dance. It comes from Myjava region, Western Slovakia.
Lace embroidery, beekeeping, sheep rearing, pottery, and woodcarving. These traditions are passed down from generation to generation, with each region maintaining its own flavor in the way of typical costumes, customs, dialects, and overall style.
The country's famous dish, Bryndzove Halušky, similar to Gnocchi, and sauerkraut, are worth a taste. This is potato dumplings.
