Verd ponds are a wonderful area to visit any time of the day, but sunrises and sunsets are especially beautiful – a great place to begin and end a day.

Obviously, autumn is the most colorful and romantic time to see the Verd ponds.

The walks by the Verd ponds are very relaxing and pleasing to the eye offering beautiful nature and scenery.

Mushroom-picking has probably been Slovenia’s most popular outdoor activity over the past few decades. For lots of people there is no healthier and more enjoyable activity than a morning walk through the woods, regardless of whether one spots a mushroom or not. Today, four out of five Slovenians report using mushrooms as a part of their diet sometimes, and one out of five report picking mushrooms themselves.
