Dražice: Hotels and accommodation

Dražice traditionally hosts the Jelenski sajam, a meeting place for local producers, artisans and visitors from the surrounding area. The market is held every second Saturday of the month and showcases homemade products as well as offerings from family businesses and home-based craftspeople. You may want to find or book a hotel for your stay in Dražice.

Culture

A monument to the mlikarice stands on Trg mlikarice in Dražice; it was erected in 2007 and restored in 2018. The Feral ki j’ pušćal sinjal event is also organised there. It includes exhibitions, market stalls, music and dancing; traditionally, residents and visitors gather in the square in mid-July. The blacksmith Damir Marčelja demonstrates historic blacksmithing techniques to visitors.

The mlikarice are also associated with a physically demanding everyday tradition: the Grobniške mlikarice walked around 30 kilometres a day while carrying heavy loads.

Cuisine

The palente i sira festival has been held in Dražice for years and offers traditional cuisine. Traditionally, the highlight of the festival is turning out the polenta on Trg mlikarice.

Landscape

The Nebeski labirinti in Dražice comprise nine stone structures beside the Sušica. Visitors can walk through the Nebeski labirinti barefoot.

In the wider surrounding region, Planinarski dom Hahlić stands at almost 1,100 metres on the southern flank of Obruč. From there, the view extends across Rijeka Bay, the Kvarner Islands, Grobnišćina and Učka.
