Bed in a dormy YOUTH HOSTEL ARS VIVA

Somewhere between mountain Snežnik, Cerknica lake and the Bloke plateau is a country that as if it wanted to stay in offset loneliness. As it is prehistory is not goodbye there. In the winter evenings, a day shorter than elsewhere, the summer nights are the stars closer to the midnight traveler. Here man is not only children of their parents, but also the landscape. Good for business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups. The mission of the Institute ARS VIVA is to seek answers to the questions relating to equal opportunities and independence of different social groups, especially those who need help in their own integration. To represent culture and cultural heritage while also enforce & express diversity. We want to develop especially an active attitude to life in terms of learning and knowledge, development of independent personalities, movement, acceptance and respect for diversity culture, religion, beliefs and educational and social action At our centre guests have the opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life by taking part in the various workshops and activities that we offer.
