Toplar Hayrack with Ethnographic Collection

The Toplar Hayrack near Belsko welcomes visitors travelling between Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle, approximately six kilometres from the centre of Postojna. This beautifully preserved double hayrack is an example of traditional Slovenian rural architecture and an important monument of the country’s cultural heritage.

Inside the hayrack, an extensive ethnographic collection of more than 200 exhibits offers an insight into everyday life in the Postojna region in the past. The collection features objects related to farming, livestock breeding, fruit growing, forestry, hunting, transport, traditional crafts such as shoemaking, blacksmithing and wheelwrighting, as well as household life and many other aspects of rural living.

Visits to the hayrack and its ethnographic collection are available by prior arrangement. It is a rewarding stop for anyone interested in discovering the authentic rural traditions of the Postojna region and Slovenia’s rich cultural heritage.

The area beneath and around the hayrack also hosts a variety of events throughout the year. Nearby, you’ll find a motorhome stopover and the Prepih Snack Bar.
