To explore the island we suggest to use Pletna boat. The boat is navigated by "pletnar", which is quite an esteemed vocation that cannot be done by anyone. During the reign of Maria Theresa the ownership rights for pletna boats were given to farmers who received poorer land for cultivation. The title of the pletna oarsman was handed down from generation to generation, which is why the profession of “Pletnarstvo” remained in individual families throughout the centuries. There are 23 pletna boats on the lake, "pletnarji" welcome visitors in the Spa Park, in front of Park Hotel, in Mlino and Velika Zaka.

A supermarket that is 8 min walk away from our apartment. Note that all markets in Slovenia are closed on SUNDAYS. In case you arrive on Sunday I suggest to buy essentials on a gas station Petrol.
