Exploring the Kamniška Bistrica Valley
After completing the guided tour of Velika Planina, your guide will take you to some of the most fascinating spots in the Kamniška Bistrica Valley.
You will visit the Predaselj Gorge, where the Kamniška Bistrica River has carved a narrow passage over millennia, reaching depths of up to 35 meters in some places. Within the gorge, a massive rock is wedged, creating a natural bridge with a path leading across it. After a brief calm, the water flows energetically again through the smaller gorge of Mali Predaselj, which is shorter and shallower. Here too, a rock is wedged between the walls, forming another natural bridge.
From the gorge, you will continue to the source of the Kamniška Bistrica River, one of the purest rivers in Slovenia, where you can admire its crystal-clear beginnings.
LUNCH IN ZELENI ROB INN
Gostilna Zeleni rob is the only inn on Velika Planina. The terrace offers a wonderful view of the surrounding hills and the Ljubljana basin. They offer home-made dishes such as stews, sausage with sauerkraut and buckwheat spoonbread, goulash and excellent sweet cottage cheese dumplings. We have prepared special menus for groups.
CHEESE TRNIČ MAKING PRESENTATION
Trniči are a type of hard cheese with a characteristic pear shape, which are made in the area of Velika, Mala and Gojška planina in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. They are made of cottage cheese, cream and salt and decorated with special ornaments, which are embossed with relief-carved wooden planks or sticks, the so-called i. fonts. Trnič is used in the daily diet, often as an addition to dishes.
WORKSHOP ON GETTING TO KNOW MEDICINAL PLANTS AND THEIR USES
From the highest point of the Velika planina (Gradišče, 1666 m), you will walk along the Velika planina with a herbalist and see and identify medicinal plants in nature. The focus of the workshop is on sustainable harvesting of plants and respect for nature. The workshop also includes instructions on drying and storing medicinal herbs and the benefits of using wild plants, herbs and other “weeds” from your doorstep. We will not collect plants, but we will look at them and learn which ones are medicinal and how to use them. In addition to the basic 2-hour workshop, it is possible to add a workshop showing the preparation of various medicinal preparations – water extracts, syrups, whole herbs, powdered herbs, tinctures, macerates, herbal vinegars and vaporization of dry herbs.
