Opening ceremony of the 19th International Wild Flower Festival: Ditka & Band and Feri Lainšček

Step into a unique musical experience where poetry, music, and emotions intertwine to create an unforgettable evening. The concert will open with a school choir, followed by Ditka & Band and poet Feri Lainšček, who have been captivating audiences for years with their musicalized poetry.

Ditka & Band and Feri Lainšček

Ljubim te, ljubim, ljubezen – On Tour with Love

Joining Ditka & Band and poet Feri Lainšček on stage will be a school choir, adding a special touch to this musical experience.

“Ne bodi kot drugi, Bližina, Ne spreminjaj me, Ljubi me, kot sonce sije, Drugi breg želja” and “Med nama je angel” are just a few of the beloved songs created by Feri Lainšček and singer-songwriter Ditka. Their latest song, “Ljubim te, ljubim, ljubezen”, lends its name to this concert, dedicated to love poetry in music.

Their creative journey began over a decade ago when they, together with pianist and composer Gorazd Čepin, started shaping their unique poetic and musical expressions. From intimate literary evenings and small venues, they organically transitioned to grand stages in cultural halls, both in Slovenia and abroad. Over time, they crafted a repertoire that attracts poetry lovers and fans of high-quality original music across generations.

The concert “Ljubim te, ljubim, ljubezen” presents a selection of Ditka’s most beautiful love songs, enriched with new compositions. Accompanied by top musicians, the evening will be even more special thanks to Feri’s live poetry interpretations, adding depth and emotion to the music. This concert is created by artists who are continuously inspired by love, placing it at the heart of their artistic vision.

Don’t miss this unique musical experience that merges poetry and exceptional original music into a deeply moving performance.

Where is the End of the World, and What is the Golden Horn’s Fairytale Trail?

The Golden Horn’s Fairytale Trail takes you on an adventure to meet nine characters from Bohinj’s folk tales.

A Magical Experience for the Whole Family

This event is more than just a walk – it’s an unforgettable adventure. The trail leads you along the river, through the forest, across meadows, and past Lake Bohinj. For most of the year, this peaceful area is home to seven wooden fairytale characters waiting for visitors.

Goričca – A Botanical Treasure of Bohinj

The name Goričca means “small mountain,” a name that reflects its botanical diversity. This small hill is home to over 200 different plant species, ranging from wildflowers to mosses. The southern slopes are covered with plants typical of limestone sun-exposed habitats, while clusters of deciduous trees resemble miniature mixed forests.

Floral diversity can be observed almost year-round. Among the first heralds of spring, black hellebore, liverwort, primroses, and violets bloom early in the season. The area is also home to several poisonous plants, such as Solomon’s seal, lily of the valley, and deadly nightshade, as well as medicinal and edible plants, including blackthorn, rosehip, and lungwort.

All the plants along this educational trail grow naturally, without human intervention. Botanists have simply marked and identified them to support education and awareness about nature conservation.

Forest Bath, guided forest experience with Maja Šilc (Hike&Bike)
Get Tickets 40,00€

Forest Therapy – a Restorative Experience in Nature

Forest therapy, also known as forest bathing or Shinrin-Yoku, is a guided practice that promotes health, well-being and a deeper connection with nature and oneself through mindful immersion in the forest.

The experience includes a gentle, slow-paced 2–3-hour walk led by a certified guide. Through sensory-opening exercises, meditative techniques and the added element of sound therapy, participants are invited to calm the mind, relax the body and release tension. Emphasis is placed on engaging with the natural elements that help restore balance, improve focus and support deep relaxation.

Forest bathing is a slow and peaceful activity suitable for everyone, requiring no special physical fitness. During the walk, we take breaks to sit, observe and simply be with nature. This is not an educational hike, but a sensory experience of connecting with the forest – where nature becomes an active presence, not just a backdrop.

The walk concludes with a calming forest tea ceremony, allowing you to taste nature’s rhythm through freshly brewed tea in a tranquil setting.

Among its many benefits, forest therapy has been shown to improve mood and overall well-being, reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and strengthen the immune system. It also enhances mental clarity and focus, and supports the management of chronic conditions such as headaches, high blood pressure, diabetes, skin disorders, asthma, arthritis and heart issues. Increasingly, it is used as a complementary practice in addressing anxiety, depression, heart disease and attention disorders.

This experience gently reconnects you with the natural world and helps you find inner calm and balance.

Event Details

  • – Meeting point: Parking area P5 – Naklova glava
  • – Price: €40
  • – Minimum number of participants: 4
  • – Places are limited.

Rediscover deep relaxation in the forest and recharge your body and mind with natural energy.
