A mountain. A herdsman.
Fairytale place of nature with special cheese called "Trnič"
The cable car takes you amongst the green pastures of the mountain plateau in the heart of the these Alps. To those, who are more active, the mountain offers ideal possibilities for hiking and various mountain-cycling tours.
We recommend that you walk to the historic and well preserved herdsmen's huts. They are one of the few settlements of this type left in Europe. Their unique architecture (they are covered with wooden shingles that almost touch the ground) became a sort of a symbol of this mountain plateau and it attracts numerous visitors all year round. Feel the simple way of the herdsmen's life and taste their dairy products.
Cheese »trnič«
Unique for this mountain is a special type of cheese called trnič. Trnič is a pear-shaped hard cheese. Made from cottage cheese, cream and salt, Trnič is decorated with special ornaments that are stamped into the cheese with relief carved wooden sticks or strips, i.e. seals. It is used in the daily diet, usually as an extra treat to the dishes.
