Family adventures

Where kids can be kids

Wild. Playful. Dirty.

Spring in Bela Krajina is perfect for families who love nature, exploring, and a little unbridled fun. Here, children are not restricted by rules, they are not deprived of play, and they are not afraid of getting dirty. On the contrary, there is plenty of space for them to transform into little explorers, treasure hunters, or mini adventurers.
April is particularly ideal – three long weekends and the May Day holidays offer the perfect opportunity for a longer family getaway.

In addition to catching insects in the meadows, running through the woods, and splashing in puddles, you can go on a hunt for the treasures of Bela Krajina. Embark on an adventure where your children will have to think a little. And you too, if they get stuck somewhere. Do you still know the answers to Oton Župančič's riddles? What about tying a stove? Don't worry, you'll get instructions.

We have a challenge for your family! Find the following in museums: the oldest toy on wheels, an arrow in the air, a gold coin, a red crown, and a Kongeria shell.

Active. Curious. Brave.

The beautiful spring weather calls for action, and now is the perfect time to put on your hiking boots and head to Divji Potok. This stream, tucked away from the main road below the village, is a true gem of Bela Krajina. In spring, there will be just enough water for you to see how the water forms terraces and pools. Give your children the task of carefully searching for Koščak crayfish in the water.
Take them to Gače, which is just across the road but at a higher altitude. There you can rent e-bikes and go on a forest tour in the fresh air. If not by bike, then on foot. Set off along the paths of the Gottschee villages to Ponikve and find the Gottschee wells and the remains of old houses. Head to the Adventure Park together, where you can test your skills. Have you ever sledged among the treetops?
