Take a stroll through Zeleni Raj Park in Mamolj, where, at an elevation of approximately 600 meters above sea level, plants from various continents intertwine with old Slovenian varieties, an orchard, a vegetable garden, ponds, and carefully designed natural nooks.
The guided tour combines knowledge, nature, and hands-on experiences. You won’t just observe the plants—you’ll also get to experience them through smell, touch, sound, and hands-on activities. The tour’s content is tailored to the season and the interests of the visitors.
The 3-hour guided experience includes:
- Welcome and introductory presentation of Zeleni Raj Park and its history.
- A guided walk among conifers, deciduous trees, shrubs, flowering plants, and evergreens.
- Learning about interesting plant species, their unique characteristics, and adaptations.
- A tour of the cacti, vegetable garden, orchard, and ponds.
- Learning about old Slovenian fruit and vegetable varieties and the importance of preserving them.
- Exploring plants with all your senses—observing them up close, touching them, smelling them, and admiring their unique features.
- A creative workshop where you’ll roll up your sleeves, make something with your own hands, and take a little piece of the Green Paradise home with you as a souvenir.
- Tasting of homemade juices, syrups, and pastries made from ingredients sourced from the park and the local area.
