  1. This is an amazing observation because it is a legit “slovenian thing”. This is a type of a hayhouse, hay barn, or hayloft called senik and kozolec. Used for drying hay (needed for cows and other animals in the winter).

    It’s also called Kozolec – [https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozolec](https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozolec). They come in many shapes and sizes and are usually specific to each Slovenian region.

    Kozolec is the part where you hang the hay – senik is the part where you store the hay.

    The correct term for “kozolec” is hayrack!

  2. This a wooden pole for electricity cables.
    Now they put the cables in the ground, but not so long ago the electric cables were fixed on wooden poles. 😂

  3. This isn’t exclusively Slovenian (there are examples in other Alpine countries), but it almost is, they’re very rare elsewhere. They’re also not found in all of Slovenia, it depends on the local climate.

  4. I thought foreigners being intrigued by our very specifically Slovenian hay drying stacks was a myth made up by tourism agencies lol. Neat to see it actually happens in the wild.

  5. Are you Austrian? Because that’s a thing in Austria too (at least in Carinthia, but that isn’t surprising cause it’s OUR RIGHTFUL CLAY /s) 😉
