Discover: Survival in nature

Imagine you get lost in the wilderness and you are without everything… On top of that your mobile phone has no signal! Do you know how to survive?

With the experienced instructor of survival in nature, Laris Žurga, you will learn how to find food and prepare a nutritious meal from what nature has to offer during a trip to the forest by Lake Cerknica. You will learn how to make a rope from willow bark or nettles, how to make a stable and safe bivouac from rain or night (without purchased accessories such as a rope), how to light a fire without a lighter, how to hide if you feel threatened, which edible plants you can use to satisfy your hunger and how to find your way in the forest.

You will find out all this on a short, approximately 2 km long walk along the Lake Cerknica, and you will be taken back to the starting point by a lojtrnik (hay carriage ride).
