Zlatorog Fairy Tale Path

On the Zlatorog Fairy Tale Path, you will find nine heroes from Bohinj folk tales. Seven are in Ukanc, one on Vogel, and another at the entrance to the Savica waterfall. Along the fairy tale path, you will find suggestions for family outdoor activities that you can play on the route. The activities are designed to stimulate the use of seven senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, balance, and kinesthetic sense. Walking the fairy tale path encourages natural forms of movement such as walking, running, jumping, climbing, spinning, rocking, and crawling.

 

You can walk the Zlatorog Fairy Tale Path for one hour or a whole day. Your guide on the route is a booklet with fairy tales, a map, and space for stickers that you will put on the route at each "station." All the fairy tales collected in the booklet originate from the Bohinj area and are adapted from original records. The booklet is for sale at all information centers in Bohinj and at the Bohinj campsite (Ukanc).

Two Zlatorog rules apply on the fairy tale path, simple enough for preschool children to understand and which should be respected elsewhere as well:

1. Love nature and protect it carefully!
2. Be kind to all living beings you meet on the path!

A guided experience on the Zlatorog Fairy Tale Path is rewarded with the Bohinjsko/From Bohinj certificate.
