Preddvor: Culture, Trails and Lake Črnava

In the centre of Preddvor stands Dvor Castle, which dates back to the 12th century. During tours of the castle, a historic pharmacy, a printing works and a wine cellar are presented. In Preddvor, centuries-old sequoias stand on the site of a former palace park. A mountain hut stands next to the Church of St James in Preddvor.

When comparing a hotel in Preddvor, check the travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective offer pages. You can compare this information independently of the local activity focuses. This facilitates a direct comparison without combining the different local themes into a single programme or deriving a fixed order for the stay from them.

Trails and activities

The “Skrivnosti preddvorskih štorkelj” trail is suitable for all generations and starts a five-minute walk from the lower school car park. A relatively easy ascent begins in the car park in front of Turn Castle and takes just under two hours. The “Od jezera do jezera” cycling route begins in the centre of Preddvor at the Church of St Peter and leads towards Lake Črnava. The official paragliding landing site is on the western side of Lake Črnava.

For choosing between the aforementioned forms of activity, the starting points at the lower school car park, at Turn Castle and at St Peter’s can be compared directly. Also included are the ascent duration of just under two hours and the distinction between trail, cycling route and paragliding landing site.

You can compare the different starting points, the stated time details and the types of activity separately.

Water

At Lake Črnava, fishing from a boat, fly-fishing and spinning are possible. Chub, brown trout and rainbow trout are found in Lake Črnava. In Preddvor, a relaxing walk around the lake is offered.

At the water, various fishing techniques and a walk therefore stand alongside one another as different formats. For your own planning, you can distinguish between them by activity type and include the lake either through fishing or through the walk.

Regional produce

At the Kmečka tržnica in the centre of Preddvor, local farmers and producers occasionally offer their products at the stalls. Štoflcfest is a festival of sweets and sweet experiences that keeps alive the memory of the traditional “štoflce”, homemade sweets from nearby Bašelj.

The market stall and the festival differ in occasion and format. The occasional offering at the stalls stands alongside a celebration that preserves a specific confectionery tradition. These different formats can be classified according to regional produce, tradition and event theme.

In the municipality of Preddvor, Čebelarstvo Kokl offers guided tours of the apiary and beekeeping museum, honey and bee-product tastings, as well as beekeeping workshops. A tour, a tasting and a workshop therefore stand alongside one another as different approaches; the respective format shapes the character of the offering.
