SUMMARY:The 7 Waterfalls Trail Hike
DESCRIPTION:The Pohodniško društvo Novo mesto invites everyone\, especially young hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers\, to join us once again across the border to Croatia\, this time to Istria. We are heading to Buzet\, which will be the starting point of the circular 7 Waterfalls Trail through the canyon of the Mirna River and Draga. Our activity is supported by the Municipality of Novo mesto. \nDEPARTURE: We will meet at 6:00 AM at OŠ Bršljin. From there\, we will travel to Buzet\, our starting point for a beautiful and memorable hike. \nHIKE: We will begin our tour in the gorge of the Mirna River\, where the water has created lakes\, rapids\, and pools\, with the waterfalls being the most beautiful feature. Each of the seven waterfalls is unique\, and the third waterfall stands out the most with its 26 meters. This is also where the trail stamp is located. We continue into the Buzet Canyon\, which also features a climbing area. A steeper ascent follows\, assisted by pegs and steel cables. After visiting the fourth waterfall\, the trail will lead us to Napoleonov most (Napoleon’s Bridge)\, past abandoned villages to the hamlet of Kotlje\, where there are pools\, an abandoned mill\, and the fifth waterfall. Not far ahead\, the final two waterfalls follow. The entire circular route is 15 km long and not technically demanding. We will need approximately 6 to 7 hours of moderate walking with breaks to complete the route. The planned return to Novo mesto is in the late afternoon. \nENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES: During the hike\, we will make every effort to carry our waste back home\, avoid causing damage to nature\, and not disturb forest animals with noise. \nEQUIPMENT: You will need warm clothing\, a hat\, gloves\, and good footwear – hiking boots are recommended – as well as personal equipment. Do not forget your ID and hiking logbook. Hiking poles are also recommended. In case of higher water levels\, it may be necessary to remove boots when crossing the river\, so sandals or flip-flops and a small towel would be useful. \nFOOD: Please bring your own food and drinks in your backpack. \nPRICE: Youth – members €25\, non-members €30. Adults – members €30\, non-members €35. \nREGISTRATION: Registrations are collected by Tomaž Struna until Wednesday\, March 4\, 2026\, until 2:00 PM at 040 215 094 or tomaz.struna@gmail.com. \nGUIDING: The hike will be led by licensed guides of the Planinska zveza Slovenije at the Pohodniško društvo Novo mesto. The tour leaders will be Tomaž Struna and Igor Cibic.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Meta Vrhunc – The Hidden Effects of Biodynamically Produced Food
DESCRIPTION:Together with the Ajda Dolenjska Biodynamic Association\, you are invited to a lecture on the biodynamic method of food production\, internationally recognised as producing food of the highest quality. The lecture will take place at the Miran Jarc Library in Novo Mesto on Wednesday\, 18 February 2026\, at 5.00 pm. \nBiodynamically produced food is grown without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides and is typically based on open-pollinated seeds. In caring for the health of the soil and plants\, biodynamic farmers use special preparations that help plants connect more deeply with the energies of the Earth and the cosmos\, while prepared compost ensures the soil is more intensely infused with vitality. The biodynamic method was founded by the philosopher and scientist Dr Rudolf Steiner in 1924 and is now practised worldwide. \nMeta Vrhunc\, an economist and translator\, has been working for over 40 years to bring Steiner’s legacy of caring for soil fertility and producing food essential for human development to Slovenia. She is also the initiator and co-founder of the Ajda Biodynamic Association and the long-standing president of its parent organisation in Vrzdenc. \nThe lecture will be held in Slovenian. \nEvent website
