When we are in the countryside, it is somehow quite normal that we want to spend more time outdoors, to look for places to walk in nature. We are asked to move, to breathe deeply and to be recharged by nature. And this will necessarily lead to a feeling of peace and happiness.
Of course, the courtyard of the house is the first option that you should not miss.
The village also has a park where you can walk and sit.
But you’ll do best if you organize a nice, slow and leisurely walk “there – by the river”. It is located just behind Villa Topi (the overgrown row of trees that you can see from the terraces. ). To get to the river, you have to go right after leaving the house and then right again on the dirt road.
There are trees on both sides of it. This makes it suitable for both morning and afternoon walks. You have to choose which side to move according to whether you want shade or sunshine. You will enjoy the time spent in the village to the maximum. For a moment, you will leave your duties and get out of your daily routine.
Of course, it is much cooler in the morning. And then is the best time to collect some herbs. You can dry them in an airy and shady place and take them home. This way, you will keep the memory of your stay with us and in the winter, when you make tea infusions, you will mentally return to your experiences.
The rule of thumb when picking herbs is to pick a maximum of 1/3 or so so it’s not obvious we’ve been there. This is important so that we do not destroy the deposit.
We often collect nettles, lapad, chamomile, dandelions, blackberries… And we almost always come home with a bouquet of blooming herbs to decorate our table in the following days during our stay in the house.
The path is about 5 km long. If you follow it towards its end, it will take you to the concrete main road bridge that you drove your cars over when you came to us. There you can go around and cross to the other side of the river. If you want to take a complete and circular walk. Of course, if you prefer to walk on the shadow side, you can return the same way you came.
The road around the river is black and is also suitable for bicycles.
Such a walk will take you back to your childhood when carefree and fooling around with friends was the main activity during weekends and vacations.
