You can take a trip around the Ivančna Gorica commune, which can be said to have 12 jewels. 12 local communities and thus 12 destinations that give you the opportunity to spend your free time in relaxing surroundings. You can find inspiration for an outing at each local community in the form of information boards. In the following paragraphs, we would like to present the tourist offer of the communities both near and far.
The Metnaj Local Community
Beekeper Rogelj, the Berčon Tourist Farm, the Lavrič Hut
Well-marked forest trails will bring you to Metnaj.
The longer hiking trail and the ascent to the farm at Obolno present a greater challenge. If you follow Virida’s route, you will pass through the village of Osredek, where you can visit Rogelj Beekeeping upon prior notice. The Berčon Tourist Farm offers you lunch and dinner. The Berčon household will not only provide you with an excellent lunch but will also give you the opportunity to admire the surrounding natural beauties. You will also be able to see Pristava from a different viewpoint.
The hiking trails that lead through Pristava bring us to the Lavrič Hut in Mekinje nad Stično. Although it doesn’t fall under the Metnaj LC, it still makes a great excursion point. At the week-end, the owners offer grilled dishes. They are happy to prepare their food by prior arrangement.
