SLOVENIAN OUTDOOR FAMILY ADVENTURE TRAILS
Goblin Karst
The Bora wind, stone and smoke bush are not just the Karst curiosities, but also the names of the very real Karst goblins who have caused trouble in the town of Štanjel and turned life in the Karst topsy-turvy. Even at the slightest of the touch, the stone there now shatters into dust. The Bora wind, once gusty and sharp, can barely puff, while the smoke bush is merely a shadow of its former self. Even the Karstians, people of unswerving spirit, have lost their willpower and inspiration. Yet the children are still just as naughty and sprightly as they have always been. Can they break the goblin spell and restore the Bora’s perseverance, the stone’s toughness and smoke bush’s color?
Škratji Karst is a path with a story written in the picture book Skratji s Kras by Uroš Grilc and with illustrations by Zvonko Čoh. It is an ecologically aware story about how mischievous dwarves harmed the inhabitants of Štanjel, in which everything is turned upside down.

EXPERIENCE
The fairytale experience The Goblin Karst takes you to a wonderful world of bora wind, stone and ruy. Your mission is to find the secret seals that have been slipped away from the inhabitants of Štanjel, so that now everything is upside-down in Karst. Only magical words can banish the goblin spell, so the hunt for the goblin symbols of the secret goblin script awaits you in the forest. A great prize awaits you for a successful mission, and the adventure also reveals magical corners of medieval Štanjel, one of the most beautiful Slovenian villages.
The Goblin Karst is a magical family adventure that takes place in the idyllic town of Štanjel, encouraging hiking, imagination and creativity and offering a unique experience of the Karst. The trail is designed to develop a positive attitude towards the environment and nature protection in both big and small children. The nature of the Karst has always been an inspiration for poets, painters and other artists. That's why at the Goblin Karst, try your hand at art: play the sounding bench, create your own mosaic and learn about the mystery of the dwarves of the Karst, about which the Karst poet Srečko Kosovel wrote.
Experience is available in Slovenian, English and Italian language.
The experience is intended for families, schools, kindergartens, and all hikers seeking well-maintained trails with stories and unique experiences in nature.
