SLOVENIAN OUTDOOR FAMILY ADVENTURE TRAILS
Dormouse Adventure Park
STORY
When his roistering attic parties get just a bit too noisy, the roistering dormouse, an incredibly swift and cheerful creature, gets chased away from his home in the attic of a mansion. Looking for a new home, he gets to know different animals and has a host of interesting experiences.
The story is based on The Roistering Dormouse picture book, written by Uroš Grilc and illustrated by Maša Kozjek. Children familiar with the story will be better equipped for the adventure in the Dormouse Adventure Park.
EXPERIENCE
Roistering dormouse needs your help! He was banished from the attic of the Polhov Gradec Mansion for being a little too noisy, and now he is searching for a new home in the nearby forest. Help roistering dormouse by setting off with him to the Dormouse Adventure Park – a fairytale land of thousands of flowers and interesting animals. See a family of bees, a “royal” flower, visit the animal “post office,” climb up to the observation point, peek inside a badger's burrow ... The Polhov Gradec Dormouse Adventure Park is designed for adventure through a blend of the fairytale and real world, which encourages children to be active outdoors and, in a playful way, teaches them about the nature and culture of Polhov Gradec, while encouraging their imaginations and creativity. While visiting Dormouse Adventure Park don’t miss the Museum of Post and Telecommunications. What a superb adventure for all the family!

WHAT
From the Polhov Gradec Mansion Park, the trail climbs past the Beekeeper’s Home and runs along the edge of Mount Polhov Gradec, following the Blagaj Trail, which belongs to the Polhov Gradec Hills Landscape Park. Winding along the edge of the forest, the path loops back into the Mansion Park. It is technically easy and therefore suitable for the youngest hikers. It can be completed in just 45 minutes, but the points of interest along the way are rich enough to easily keep the little explorers busy for a good two hours.
WHO
Dormouse Adventure Park is designed for preschool children and children from 1st through 3rd grades of elementary school. The trail starts and ends at the Polhov Gradec Mansion, and is easily accessible. Various adventure stops along the way will easily keep the children occupied for about two hours, if not more. For a wholesome experience, we recommend reading the story The Roistering Dormouse in English and Italianprior to the visit.
HOW
Dormouse Adventure Park begins in Polhov Gradec Mansion, or in Mansion Park House in the summer. You can park there. At the beginning of the trail, children receive a ticket, a pencil and didactic material in the form of The Dormouse Activity Book for just 5 Euros. While walking, they keep busy by placing stickers on the map which are found in the aforementioned book, collecting stamps and tackling various tasks. Along the way they are greeted by ten big wooden sculptures, small wooden cottages, a child-friendly beehive, an animal post office, a badger’s burrow, a badger’s sett, didactic materials … A special surprise awaits at the finish line for having collected all the stamps and stickers.
