Abstract

The summer semester has brought up the idea of a two-day field trip in April, guided by professor Ivan Muhovec and Mr Matija Orešković. We expected to see striking historical buildings overcrowded by foreign tourists but what we actually visited were breathtaking little churches, rustic corbel stone-huts and tucked away villages. By organizing this inspiring field trip, our professors have passed on their inexhaustible knowledge on cultural, historical and construction aspect of these edifices. We marvelled at their good physical shape as well a great feeling for orientation in the area. They have proved us that every structure, no matter how tiny and modest in its shape, has something that makes it very special and valuable. I hope that our positive experience from this trip will inspire others to visit these localities as they are truly worth a visit.
