Pozabljeni ribnik kartuzijanov znova privablja turiste in gurmane
About five minutes' drive from the Jurklošter Carthusian monastery, a small pond sits sheltered among the hills. Until recently it was abandoned and overgrown, left to languish, while the rundown fishing lodge slowly forfeited its place in the local community. Today the picture has completely changed. The restored Marof pond is now a new tourist attraction in the Laško area, drawing foreign and domestic visitors who come for the striking natural surroundings and the original local cuisine. The project has brought a forgotten piece of local history back to life. Above all, the revival proves that European funds can bring neglected corners of Slovenia and its history back into use.
Le kakšnih pet minut vožnje od Kartuzijanskega samostana Jurklošter se v objemu gričev nahaja majhen ribnik. Še do pred kratkim je bil ta zapuščen, zaraščen in je sameval, dotrajani ribiški dom pa je počasi izgubljal svojo vlogo v lokalnem okolju. Danes je zgodba povsem drugačna. Obnovljeni ribnik Marof je postal nova turistična točka na območju Laškega, kjer tuji in domači obiskovalci uživajo v osupljivi naravi in izvirni kulinariki. Predvsem pa je dokaz, kako lahko evropska sredstva oživijo pozabljene kotičke in zgodovino Slovenije.
