On Sunday, 18 May, the Friendship Day children’s festival will take place in front of the Visoko Mansion in the Poljane Valley between 10:00 and 17:00. This year’s main theme will be herbalism.

During the Family Week from 15 to 22 May, admission to the Škofja Loka Museum for families is free.

The storytellers will each, in their own style, narrate tales of heroines: independent, rebellious, persistent women who don't wait for fate to happen to them, but courageously and sometimes audaciously take it into their own hands. Stories about women who establish themselves on a path full of transformations, trials, difficult tasks, and not always happy endings. For adults.

Did you know that the Church of the Annunciation in Crngrob is one of the oldest pilgrimage churches in Slovenia and one of the three European churches where whale ribs are kept?
