On Saturday, August 26th, 2023, you are invited to join us between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Crannog Day in Draga pri Igu!
The organizers wrote as follows: Crannog Day is a one-day event where visitors try out a wide variety of skills typical of crannog makers through workshops. We will also prepare an accompanying program (performances, archaeological and other lectures). The workshops are divided into archaeological workshops, where the main content is archaeological, from finds to the interpretation of archaeological finds, to experiential ones, where participants, based on their own work and experience, gain knowledge about life in the time of the crannog makers, and nature conservation workshops, where they get to know the fauna and flora of the Ljubljana Marshes and the Draga valley today and in the time of the crannogs.
