The family tradition of the restored Kovačija pri Kovaču—over 200 years old and a cultural heritage site—tells its story in a way that allows every visitor to feel a part of themselves in it. Here, the past intertwines with the future. You can experience this by staying in the blacksmith’s room, relaxing to the sound of birds beneath the majestic old linden tree, bathing in the Velka stream, lighting a blacksmith’s fire in the evening, or enjoying a leisurely gathering in the smithy with a blacksmith’s snack and drink. They also offer picnic area rental in the immediate vicinity of the smithy. This accommodation is just minutes away from the Ribniško Pohorje ski resort and Ribniška Koča, where numerous walking trails are available during the summer months—from moderately challenging to those suitable for everyone.
The smithy offers many interesting activities. You can indulge in excellent blacksmith cuisine, enjoy a glass of blacksmith beer or wine, and even craft your own souvenir to take home. Your little ones will be delighted as well, as they can learn about the blacksmith’s craft, tools, and the trees and herbs found in the meadow by the smithy through the “blacksmith’s hidden treasure” game. The most entertaining company will be provided by the resident pets: hedgehogs, dormice, sheep, chickens, a dog, a cat, rabbits, and piglets. Of course, your children can feed them too, ensuring mutual satisfaction and even greater excitement. In the immediate vicinity of the smithy, a large meadow stretches out where outdoor games can be played, and table tennis is also available upon request. You can also visit their shop and the Uran restaurant, where a century-old tradition has been woven through four generations. If you are exploring this part of Pohorje with electric bikes, the restaurant also has an e-bike charging station available.
