The village of Stanjel, together with Stanjel Castle, will reveal to us how their inhabitants once lived. Located next to the Štanjel Castle restaurant is a gallery dedicated to Lojze Spacal, known as the "Eye of the Karst" and one of the most important Slovene artists of the 20th century.

There we will learn about the process of printmaking under the mentorship of a painter and graphic artist. And of course create our own work of art. In this stone jewel of the Karst we will also learn about stonecutting, a traditional craft of this region. A stonecutter will demonstrate the working of Karst stone and explain its properties and types. He will also describe the stonecutter's tools and demonstrate their use.

Participants will have the chance to make their own product to take home and keep. This is just a part of a Treasure Hunt that combines tradition, the modern world and fine cuisine.
