That people still farm way up here in the mountains is\n impressive enough, but the tiny village is also home to a number of \ncultural and herit-age sites that make the trek up worth it. The center \nof cultural life in Skomarje is undoubtedly the eponymous house, a 17th \ncentury building that was restored in the 20th century and frequently \nhouses poetry readings, workshops and the like. Elements of the late \nmedieval smokehouse style are on show here alongside later advances such\n as the black kitchen, with everything set out to mimic how life was \nlived in Skomarje in the long ago. The building was home to an entry \nroom, a living room, a sleeping room, a kitchen and even a press room, \nbut the restoration meant that certain functions had to be altered, as \nthe whole house wasn\u2019t able to be a part of the museum. Info: Skomarje 30.<\/strong><\/p> ZRE\u010cE LAKE<\/strong>:\n Created in the year 2000, Zre\u010de Lake is made up of two very distinct \nparts. The larger lower part is all aesthetics, glistening water backed \nby lush greenery and perfect for idly watching a summer\u2019s day go by. The\n upper part is entirely overgrown and has been given over to nature, \nspecifically set aside for spawning. The lake itself is full of \nengineering quirks, whether it is the clay-sealed bottom or uncovered \nwalls. When the sun is signing we recommend bringing a book and a beer \nor two \u2013 you\u2019ll find it hard to leave.<\/p> TOURIST INFORMATION CENTRE<\/strong><\/p> Cesta na Roglo 13b, tel +386 (0)3 759 04 70, tic.zrece.lto@ siol.net. www.destinacija-rogla.si.<\/p> To discover other unique places in Slovenia, check out THE SLOVENIA BOOK \u2013 AN INSIDER\u2019S GUIDE TO THE BEST OF SLOVENIA<\/em><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First mentioned in written texts in 1244, the town and the immediate region has been until recent times an area of intense activity in a number of traditional industries including the timber trade, glass-works, and perhaps the trade that best symbolizes the region, blacksmithing.
