"SUMMER HOLIDAYS"
Mojstrana is busy with tourists at the moment…hiking, sight seeing, cycling and enjoying the natural beauty of the Vrata Valley. Mojstrana and Dovje offer many activities and facilities on the doorstep…..you just need to know where to find them…

FOCUS ON FACILITIES AND ACTIVITIES IN MOJSTRANA

Sport:
In the heart of the village nestles an idyllic tennis club, with three clay courts and great clubhouse. This is a stunning place to play, surrounded by the peace and tranquillity of the mountains.




As already described in previous blogs, the cycling in the area is extensive and if you can’t manage to bring your own bike, there is local bike hire in Dovje. www.juhej.net. Here you receive a warm, friendly welcome, often with an early morning schnapps, and well maintained and equipped bikes. There is also good bike hire at Sportpoint in Kranjska Gora.




For the more adventurous, there is quad bike hire here in Mojstrana.




Mojstrana is lucky enough to have a local sport and activity company, Kofler Sport, www.kofler-sport.si This is a reputable and local family run business, offering a variety of summer and winter activities: climbing, mountaineering, water activities, skiing, sledding.

Tourism:

Dovje and Mojstrana have an active and enthusiastic Tourist Board, the local tourism office has great local information and is well stocked with leaflets, maps and gifts. www.mojstrana.com They promote local accommodation, including the lovely campsite, camp Kamne, www.campingkamne.com and, of course, our own apartment which sleeps up to six, www.mojstrana.co.uk




In Dovje is a converted Blacksmith’s which is run as a community project, selling local produce, a perfect place for local food and gifts; www.pr-katr.dovje.net






For those seeking a more cultural experience, Mojstrana has a Museum of Alpine Life, and currently, an impressive, new museum is being built.



Food and Drink:
Again, Mojstrana has a variety of bars and places to eat. There is a relaxed atmosphere at Bar Time Out, and the Hot Chocolate there in winter is to die for! The Kot Pizzeria serves great Pizzas and Pr’ Zelezn’k, the local Tourist Farm provides excellent food, drink and views! Just down the road is Villa Rosa, offering an extensive menu. There are also the Aljazev Hram and Laika bars.

Tempted?….then come and visit us!!
