A stroll to Šmartno (recommended)
Let’s take a leisurely walk through the vineyards toward Šmartno and admire nice vistas of Šmartno and the most of the region all the way. If you do/can not want to walk, I can also do a transfer, no additional fee.
A walk through time in Šmartno
We will start with the small Roman fortress and then slowly move through time and see how Šmartno as we see it today came to be. From turbulent times of Habsburg-Venetian wars to peaceful time of koloni until around a century ago, when both world wars and natural disaster really did a number on Šmartno… we will conclude on a positive note by recounting Šmartno’s renovation and its lively daily life and immense charm today.
