Sage hike

Sige hike is a traditional annual hike, which happens on first Sunday in April, with a start in village Vojščica, in front of the old school. The hike was named after the part of the route, which runs along the slopes of Brestovica valley, where on the rocky ridge sage groves grow. In a time of the hike, in the spring, sage is just in the beginning stage of flowering, and because of that, it smells amazingly good, which completely takes over the hikers every year. Also in this period, it is possible to see wild asparagus, which rises high and mighty over Karst slopes.

Sage hike has been organized since the year 2007. Until the year 2015, the organization of the hike was in the hands of Local community Vojščica, which next year, in the year 2016, it was handed over to the newly established Society Farjovca, sport-cultural-tourist society, which from its very beginning takes care of village development.

The beginning and end of the hike is every year at the same location, in front of the old school in Vojščica. The route of the hike is every year slightly different. The path is not difficult, and thus suitable for all generations.

During the hike, shortstops are planned with sightseeing of remains of the Karst heritage, natural and other sights. The hike is guided by a trained local tour guide.
