Fabatka Porta folk playground
đź•’10 am to 7 pm

The Fabatka Porta folk playground is built using natural materials, folk motifs, and traditions. Its main element is the carved wooden carousel decorated with tulips. Many old commodities gain a new life here; for example, the mill table is turned into a hockey stick or the market scale into a balance toy. We welcome all children and adults who would like to test their dexterity. It's worth a penny!
