MOZIRSKI
GAJ -
FLOWER PARK Throughout Slovenia there are numerous green valleys.
One of the most beautiful is undoubtedly that of the Upper Savinja
with its friendly centre Mozirje. This is a small place surrounded by
flower gardens. In 1978 it hardworking and enthusiastic
inhabitants-with the assistance of the gardened from whole Slovenia -
turned the land which had previously been a deserted municipal plot of
land and dumping ground into a 7-hectare-park of flowers and greenery.
As early as In April, the grove coved itself into the colourful veil
of beautiful sprang blossoms, which delight our eyes as late as May.
In June, it clads itself with summer blossoms and greenery which grow
exuberantly until mid-autumn, and breet and enchant many loved of
natural beauty. The visitor to the grove are also shown the way of
life in the country a hundred and moo years ago and the implements
people used in their everyday life. A farmhouse, corn loft, a hut as a
reserved property, mill, blacksmiths shop and a bughouse remind up of
difficult though not so hectic life in the past. The Park of Mozirje
is open from middle of April to middle of September.
He who only once rejoices in this beauty, he will come back to
rejoice in it again and again.
