Connected with Nature – A Sustainable Experience Programme in Solčava

In Solčava, nestled in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, nature and tradition have shaped the way of life for centuries. This sustainable experience invites you to discover the area as the locals do – at a leisurely pace, through authentic encounters, local stories and flavours.

At the Rinka Centre, you’ll be greeted with a warm local welcome, after which you’ll discover the area’s rich natural and cultural heritage through exhibitions, a multimedia presentation and the distinctive Solčava dialect. Next comes a hands-on activity: you can make a unique souvenir from the wool of the native Solčava-Jezersko sheep, or join the local women in v preparing traditional gruševi žlinkrofi dumplings. On a walk to the Solčava yew tree, which is over 900 years old, you’ll experience the tranquillity of unspoilt nature, whilst a visit to the Ramšak Eco-Farm will give you an insight into farm life and offer a taste of local delicacies.

The experience concludes around a shared table, where you’ll sample freshly prepared gruševi žlinkrofi. You’ll take away from Solčava not just a souvenir, but a sense of connection with the people, nature and heritage.
