Nature can be appreciated from far away, or from up close❄️👁️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You can get the best of both worlds by appreciating the amazing views of the forest and at the same time stopping and looking around, on the ground or up in the tree crowns. Try and be mindful about your perspective and change it purposefully while you take in the beauty of our 🌍🤍⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Notice the big things, but don’t forget about the little ones. Look around and take everything in with your eyes, but also remind yourself to listen, smell and feel👀👂🏼⁣⁣

We love to take a walk to the nearby Planina puddle, which plays an important role in the ecosystem today. There are many smaller water sources in Kočevje forests, once enabling the Gottscheers to survive, and today being extremely valuable for forest animals and moisture-loving plants🌱
⁣
The Gottscheer village of Planina used to have a well, two puddles, and between the two world wars also a village water supply system. The well with the engraved year of 1848 and the puddle are still maintained today💧

A little bit of history 📚⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is the partisan hospital Zgornji Hrastnik - the first two buildings of it were built in 1943, and by the end of the war 8 buildings in total were erected🏥⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The hospital and cemetery are protected as monuments of national importance💚⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The hospital is located a short drive from the villa Sredgora and it’s a very interesting spot, since it was the very first medical post built in Kočevski Rog 🩺⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In less than 1.5 years, they treated more than 400 patients in the hospital, of which most had severe injuries. 69 of the wounded soldiers died, and were put to rest in the attached cemetery 🪦 ⁣

Two wild boar piglets playing 💚🐗⁣⁣
A few wild boar (Sus scrofa) facts:⁣⁣
🐗 These omnivores eat plants, fruits, crops, roots, and nuts, but they are good at adjusting their eating habits to what is available and will also consume bird or turtle eggs, insects, or small animals⁣⁣
🐗They live up to 10 years⁣⁣
🐗 Both sexes have tusks though they may be smaller for females⁣⁣
🐗 They're nocturnal, beginning to forage at around dusk but may change their behavioral patterns depending on human activity or season⁣⁣

The night sky at Sredgora is among the clearest in Europe when it comes to light pollution🌌⁣
⁣
On a night without clouds or fog, you can easily spot the Milky Way and its details, the amount of visible stars is incredible even for someone from a rural place and best of all - you can observe shooting stars from the comfort of the outside hot tub💫⁣

Tudi Radio Odeon je objavil članek o Sredgori 💚

V neokrnjeni naravi kočevskega gozda stoji skorajda pravljična hiša, ki s svojo podobo pripoveduje zgodbo naselbine, ki je tu nekoč stala.

At Sredgora, we want to help our guests to immerse themselves into the beautiful forest nature💚🌲 ⁣
⁣
We understand, that guests don't know the surrounding forest, this is why we provide all the information you might need. We will tell you where all the secret cool spots are, we have some learning materials to help you distinguish different animal footprints from eachother and we also tell you how to find animal footprints. Sredgora really is surrounded by beautiful wildlife and if you know what to look for, you can find signs of animals all around you🐾🦌⁣
⁣
We want to help people connect with nature, because once you do, there is no coming back. The appreciation for nature starts to show on all levels of your life and it's a good thing for you, for other people and for the planet. Once you start caring about all living beings, you become more mindful in your day-to-day life. It fundamentally changes who you are and how you interact with your environment💚⁣
⁣
⁣
This is why Sredgora is not just a nice villa in the forest. It is an immersive experience that will stay with you forever💫⁣

The kitchen/living room/dining room area at Sredgora is the perfect place to entertain your family and friends.⁣
We love food, especially homemade food and this is why the kitchen is the heart of the house🥘❤️⁣
A lot of different seating options and a hanging net on the ceiling make for a dynamic space where the needs of the whole group can be met. If you want a chill book read - go to the upper floor couch where you can be in a quiet corner but still not isolated. If you want to play board games, the living room area is perfect. If you wanna just watch and chill out, lay down on the ceiling net. At Sredgora, everybody will find their own special favourite spot💚⁣

Porcini (Boletus edulis) season has already started 🍴⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Due to their strong nutty flavor, this is an incredibly popular gourmet mushroom🍄⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Like so many other good edible mushrooms, porcini are mycorrhizal. This means that the underground vegetative growth of the mushroom, called the mycelia, enters into a symbiotic relationship with the roots of plants🌳 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But why would you care about this as a chef/foodie? ⁣⁣
It means that because of this complex relationship that occurs in nature, porcini aren’t easily cultivated. So depending on where you live they could be hard to find fresh and more expensive to purchase🌳🍄⁣⁣
