Surrender yourself to the melody created by the forest

Did you know that melody and sound can be elicited from trees, that trees talk to each other and transmit messages? Only certain people can coax mysterious sounds from the trees. You too can make this happen on a guided experience.

Every tree is a musical instrument of its own

Forest Melody is an intimate, profound, but nevertheless very intense experience of the forest. As part of a guided experience, you get to know the forest in a different way, as a unique, subtle natural landscape, where you can reconnect with nature and at the same time find your balance and relax. A forest bath and meditation makes you realise how very alive, sonorous and fragile the forest really is - once you become silent. The exclusive private micro-location ensures intimacy and privacy. You will discover the resonance of individual trees and together create a harmonious forest melody. You will learn about the disappearing handicraft skills in the local environment, which makes the experience also a story about the living cultural heritage of Bohinj. Conclude the experience with a forest tea party, a rest in hammocks and a sound bath, and natural foot reflexology by walking on the forest floor.

Did you know?

Pokljuka, at an altitude of around 1,400 meters above sea level, is a place where resonant wood suitable for making the highest quality musical instruments grows. Because of its rarity, foresters call it "Pokljuka gold".

Almost one in four Slovenians owns a forest, and with 60% of its territory covered in forest, Slovenia ranks among the four most forested countries in Europe - after Sweden, Finland and Estonia.

With nine tonnes of accumulated carbon dioxide per hectare a year, Slovenian forests are European record holders in CO2 absorption. Because they can reach a very old age, trees reveal information about the climate going back some 12,000 years.

Roofs covered with wooden shingles are considered part of Slovenia's intangible cultural heritage. Today, only a few people master the craft of wooden roofs, which can be found higher up in hilly areas.
