Holiday apartment in Melinci on the Mura – Brickmaking tradition and nature

On the Mura, the traditional crossing of the river by brod has been preserved in Melinci to this day. Brod na Muri consists of two flat-bottomed boats connected by a platform and moves across the Mura along a steel cable using the current. To the east of Melinci lie marshy forests; at the same time, numerous paths and former river channels lead through the forests from the Apiturizem Šemen Štefan site to the Mura.
