EXPERIENCE
Beetle Simon from Domžale is great friends with a fox who lives in the forest on Šumberk Hill. The fox always wears her wonderful straw hat. It’s a special hat, for it was worn by her mother, her grandmother and even her great-grandmother … But now it’s gone. How terrible! The fox lost it somewhere on Šumberk and needs help to retrieve it. Magical Šumberk sends the children on a special mission to uncover the straw hat with the help of The Magical Šumberk Notebook.
While on the lookout, children learn the story of the Domžale straw hats, travel back to the town’s prehistory and explore the beautiful forest on Šumberk, teeming with diverse trees, animals and even Karst caves. These are home to Domzy the cave gnome and beetle Simon, the children’s guide along the trail. Once at the finish line, the children can collect their well-deserved reward at Češmin Café.
