Horse-drawn carriage driving
Transport routes in the Notranjska region have always been important in terms of economy and communications because they were the intersection of routes in the direction from Trieste to Ljubljana, the Dolenjska region and Zagreb, the Kočevje and the Kvarner region.
Transportation of cargo developed as early as the Middle Ages and then gradually evolved in horse-drawn carriage driving (transportation services).
The lojtrnik carriages, our traditional and most common farm carriages, were first used for the transportation of grass, hay and other cargo. They were gradually replaced by more specialised vehicles, so they have been given a new purpose and now serve as tourist carriages. Their long tradition is supported by the fact that they were already mentioned in The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola by Valvasor.
Panoramic ride
Tourist hay carriages at Lake Cerknica come with benches that sit up to 25 people, and they are pulled by horses, which take you on a ride through the Notranjska Park. It is very popular to take a panoramic ride along Lake Cerknica. On the lojtrnik, by prior arrangement, you can also be served a proper Notranjska snack: herbal teas and juices, homemade ocvirkovka and other delicacies.
