SLOVENIAN OUTDOOR FAMILY ADVENTURE TRAILS
Emerald Adventure Along the Wall of Giants
The Emerald Adventure is a trail with a story written in the picture book-comic Ajdovski Zid by Uroš Grilc and Jaka Vukotič.
The story about four forest beasts, who, with the help of the emerald earthworm and a Roman boy named Julian, overcome the giant wall and capture the Roman soldiers, serves as a foundation for a special forest adventure, where you will discover the secrets of the mighty Roman wall and the beautiful nature around the Wall of giants.

EXPERIENCE
Between Vrhnika and Logatec, the longest Roman monument in Slovenia, called Ajdovski Zid (in Latin, CLAUSTRA ALPIUM IULIARUM), stretches towards Zaplana. The experience takes you back in time when Romans ruled these lands. Do you know the secrets of ancient warfare? Are you curious about what ancient Roman proverbs mean?
Roman Julian and the emerald earthworm, a special feature of this wonderful Karst forest, will guide you on a fun journey through exciting history and nature, which is our eternal teacher.
Children and families who embark on this adventure also have a special task: collect all the stamps to receive a well-deserved reward at the end, which will deepen their connection with nature and the cultural heritage of the Roman wall, which stretches for about 7 km and once had 35 defensive towers. Two of them are partially reconstructed (the Claustra+ project), so along the way, you can feel the grandeur of Roman builders. This experience is a perfect opportunity to learn about historical stories and enjoy the beautiful nature of Slovenia.
The experience is intended for families, schools, kindergartens, and all hikers seeking well-maintained trails with stories and unique experiences in nature.
