5 Combine culture and recreation

By prior arrangement you can visit the cultural centre in the Šubic House in Poljane, which will take you to a real creative experience with an interesting museum collection.

For lunch, you can stop at the nearby two hundred- and thirty-years old inn Na Vidmu, which is known for its homemade food and local opened wines. Later on, in nearby Hotovlja you can see Fartuna Mill, a monument of local importance. The latter was probably built in the beginning of the 17th century and is nowadays a rare still operating brook mill. The mill with two millstones shows the milling tradition and with the help of a short film you will get more details of this once important activity. After visiting the mill, you can jump on a nearby hill with the Slovenian flag, from where is a beautiful view of Poljane and Poljanska Valley. For even more activity you can walk through Trim track Golava, which includes ten training stations with seven tools for training, strength and stretching. Clean air, birds singing, and leaves rustling contributes to the magic of an almost forgotten form of outdoor recreation.
