Great staff, great park! We had a lot of fun, it cost 18€ (prices for adults) for the park and then 10€ for the long zip line that goes across the river.

Reviewed By Vierdank - Stockholm, Sweden
A must see in the Solkan valley. The whole place with the monastery, the church, the surroundings is oozing with serenity. The views over the extremely beautiful Slovenian landscape is stunning. It is a Franceskan monastery in "full working order" with active brothers. There is a restaurant, but opening times unknown to me. When we visited in July it was closed during daytime. Maybe open on Sundays. The monastery also has a museum which is open on Sundays in conjunction with the mass. From Nova Gorica it's a mere 20 min ride by car to get uphill. Bus is also available to Grgar, if you'd like to hike up the last 2-3 km. Must see if you're in the Gorizia/Nova Gorica area!

5. Vila Bartolomei
This countryside mansion was built in the second half of the 18th century, but precise data on the year of construction as well as the architect are not known. Inside there are several exhibitions: restoration exhibition, old believers, Games of our youth (toys exhibit) and an archaeology exhibit Langobards
6. Games of my Youth
One, two, three, go! Each generation calls certain toys and games "its own", which the previous or next generation is not familiar with. Do you still remember your favourite toy? At the exhibition, parents and children can guide one another around the exhibited toys and thus personalise their tour. You can see homemade toys, board games, video games etc.
