1787 Eighty-one housesOsemdesiatjeden domov

In 1787 Lendak had eighty-one houses and 750 people. Read that against the land: fields at the top of the Poprad basin, at the foot of a limestone wall, where the growing season is short and a wet August can take the year's crop. Villages like this one survived by not depending on the crop alone — sheep driven up to the mountain pasture for the summer, cattle, potatoes, timber, and men who left in spring to work somewhere lower and warmer and came home in the autumn.Roku 1787 mal Lendak osemdesiatjeden domov a 750 obyvateľov. Čítajte to spolu s pôdou: role na hornom okraji Popradskej kotliny, pod vápencovou stenou, kde je vegetačné obdobie krátke a mokrý august dokáže vziať celoročnú úrodu. Takéto dediny prežili tak, že sa nespoliehali len na úrodu — ovce hnali na leto na hole, k tomu dobytok, zemiaky, drevo a chlapi, čo na jar odchádzali za prácou niekam nižšie a teplejšie a na jeseň sa vracali.
