ALONG THE BEEKEEPER'S PATH

 

Free guided tour of Žirovnica - Along the beekeeper's path

We invite you to a free guided tour along the cultural heritage trail in the picturesque village beneath Stol in Gorenjska.

Listen to interesting stories in the embrace of meadows, forests and mountains.

We will visit the birthplace of Anton Janša, a pioneer of modern beekeeping. With his help, Slovenian beekeeping and the Carniolan lavender bee (Apis mellifera carnica) became world known. May 20th, Anton Janša's birthday, is also a World Bee Day. The Carniolan bee is an autochthonous species, it has always been in our area and is therefore an important part of our ecosystem. How useful this insect is, how much goodies it gives us. Its impact on lives of past and present is impossible to ignore, as bees help maintain balance in the environment, nature and biodiversity.

We will also visit the birth house of Matija Čop and learn about the development of Slovenian alphabet, see an interesting collection of archaeological finds from the hill Ajdna and climb to Vodostan, to a lookout point (635 m) above Žirovnica.

Meeting point: parking lot at Čop's birth house in Žirovnica.
