Life in the countryside today and in the past
Landscape Park Lahinja
We meet the children in the parking lot at the entry into the Landscape Park Lahinja. We head towards the Infocentre, where we visit a Bela krajina farm house with a black kitchen. We will have a crack at farm chores our ancestors performed a hundred years ago – carrying water from the well to the black kitchen, “making” light, ironing with embers and rubbing down the floor. This is followed by virtual exploration of the Lahinja Regional Park with the help of 360°glasses, with their help, we will see the most important park elements.
In the end, children prepare an old farm lunch with local apple juice and sausages.
Duration: 3–4 school hours
The programme is suitable for the 1st and 2nd triad of elementary school. The pupils must be suitably equipped (water, footwear).
Price: 5 eur/person
