The hayracks of the Slovenia were described already 300 years ago.There are of various types – double, single, stretched. Our guide will guide you through the first open-air hayrack museum in the world. Afterwords we drive to Sevnica is a delightfull little town by the Sava river, some 80 km east from Ljubljana.
