po Sloveniji / around Slovenia, Olimje

Namenili smo se v vodni park s tobogani in bazenčki v Olimju. Zaradi deževnega vremena je bil zaprt in opazovali smo ga lahko le od zunaj. Kljub razočaranju, smo šli v vas in obiskali samostan, čokoladnico in jelene.

Samostanski vrt ima okoli dvesto vrst zdravilnih zelišč. Obiskovalci se lahko sprehodijo po vrtu in opazujejo rastline. Vsaka ima napis z slovenskim in latinskim imenom in nekaj podatkov glede učinkovanja rastline.

V samostanu je tudi lekarna z domačimi pripravki kot so čaji, tinkture in mazila. Bila sem prav presenečena, ko sem opazovala večinoma mlade ljudi, k so stali v vrsti.

We were headed to Olimje thermal park full of water slides and pools. Because of a rainy day the park was closed and we could only observe water slides through the gate. Despite our disappointment, we went to the village and visited monastery, chocolate shop and a deer farm.  

The monastery has the garden of herbal plants with nearly two hundred species of medical herbs. The visitors can walk around the garden and observe plants with signs, which have Slovene and Latin names and a few data about healing effects written on them.

There is also a pharmacy with homemade remedies such as teas, tinctures and ointments. To my surprise, a lot of young people stood in the line to buy something.

V bližini je tudi čokoladnica. Seveda nismo mogli mimo ne da bi kupili nekaj čokolade.

A chocolate shop is located in the neighbourhood and we couldn’t pass by without buying some chocolate sweets.

Blizu samostana je jelenov greben, kjer se lahko jelene krmi s koruzo.

Not too far from monastery there is also s deer farm, where animals can be fed with corn.
