Dry grasslands are the habitats of extreme diversity (50 species per square metre during the high season). Nature admirers can also take a look at numerous rare and endangered orchid species. There are many butterflies, neuropterans, beetles and other animals. Grassland orchards are a vital and indispensable component of traditional cultural landscape in Slovenia. They have been recognised as an exceptional habitat. Unfortunately, they are disappearing. Our visitors can learn about the special value of dry grasslands. Our guides explain about the threats and give some possible solutions. When you reach the top of Vetrnik, you can enjoy the magnificent view on the Boč, Pilštanj Square and the eastern slopes of Bohor.
