Ovi divni suncem okupani dani pozivaju nas da izađemo u prirodu i uživamo u blagodatima kraljice Jeseni. Doba je godine kada šuma obiluje plodovima i poprima prekrasno ruho prije zimskog mirovanja. Naša misija je zagovarati benefite boravka u šumi u svakom godišnjem dobu, a domaći i inozemni mediji sve više se uključuju u ispunjenju iste! Sretna vam Jesen, dragi šumoljupci! 🍂🤎 . 🌳 https://www.facebook.com/share/euzHQa64GFwjFPZc/ https://www.metropolitan.si/potovanja/radoboj-hrvaska-zagorje-gozdna-kopel-izkusnja-turizem-reportaza/?sfnsn=wa

U organizaciji ureda HTZ iz Ljubljane u četvrtak 10.10.stigla je ekipa slovenskih novinara i turističkih agenata, kako bi im se predstavio sadržajan jednodnevni izlet u Radoboj: muzej Radboa, Centar za prirodu Zagorje, Hiža vinove loze sa degustacijom radobojskih vina, bili su prvi gosti tek novo otvorenog stalnog postava Hiže štruklji koju vodi kuhar Matej sa nezaobilaznom prezentacijom babičinih radobojskih štruklji, posjetili su kapelu sv.Jakoba, pogledali Planinarski dom a Snaga šume im je organizirala kraću od uobičajene šumsku kupku, no bila je dovoljna da dožive relaks. Kao i mnogi do sada rezimirali su : tako malo mjesto sa toliko puno lijepih i zanimljivih sadržaja u prekrasnom prirodnom okruženju.💚🌲🌳 I na kraju ono što svaki domaćin želi čuti : vidimo se opet!🙋

Danas je Svjetski dan turizma, i tom prilikom skrećem pažnju na jedan inovativni turistički proizvod koji nudi RADOBOJ, mala općina u Hrvatskom zagorju. KULTURA: multimedijalni muzej Radboa sa prikazom arheoloških nalazišta još iz doba neolitika. Hiža vinove loze nastala na bazi nađene okamine vinove loze stare cca 15 mil.god.a sa virtualnom šetnjom o nastanku vina. Centar Priroda Zagorje sa virtualnim pregledom nađenih okamina flore i faune na obližnjoj Strahinjčic. GASTRONOMIJA: Originalna Hiža štruklji sa originalnim radobojskim štrukljima iz prave krušne peći. Uskoro se proširuje ponuda sa autohtonim zagorskim jelima na moderan način. PRIRODA I ZDRAVLJE: Šumska kupka na certificiranim stazama podesnih za šumsku kupku na obližnjoj Strahinjčici koja je i meka planinara iz cijelog svijeta a sa najljepšim planinarskim domom u Hrvatskoj. Dođite i uvjerite se!

The forest hosted and embraced us during the symposium.

We left a part of ourselves in it, and in return received friendship and connection with people who think, feel and breathe as one. they say that life is not measured by the number of breaths, but by the number of moments when you run out of breath - and this was one such moment. 

Circles have been created that will bridge the boundaries that people have invented, and some new light is being born. 

May the Forest be with you
