This site is today a local museum with a traditional anvil, a fireplace and all the typical tools. Blacksmith Damir will be glad to demonstrate the blacksmith’s handicraft to you. GAŠPAROV MLIN / WATERMILL Nekada 27 mlinova, a danas u funkciji samo jedan, drveni Gašparov mlin u Martinovom Selu. Iako ima više od 360 godina i danas obavlja svoju nekadašnju funkciju. Vrijedni mlinar Bruno Kukuljan, ispod teškog kamenog kola, žito još uvijek melje na starinski način te ga pretvara u fino mljeveno brašno, od kojeg se već stoljećima priprema palenta kompirica. EN In the past, there were as many as 27 watermills on the River Rječina – today only the wooden Gašparov Mlin in Martinovo Selo remains. Despite the fact that it is more than 360 years old, this mill still functions today. The diligent miller Bruno Kukuljan still mills corn under a heavy stone wheel in the old-fashioned way, making fine flour which local people have been using for centuries to prepare the local speciality – potato polenta. RJEČINA / RJEČINA RIVER Zaštićen objekt prirode i biser Grobničkog kraja nalazi se u netaknutoj prirodi pa ne čudi da je to omiljeno odredište svih ljubitelja prirode i rekreativaca. Rječina je tipična krška rijeka koja izvire podno brda Kičelja te se nakon 18 km dubokih kanjona i brojnih brzaca, ulijeva u Jadransko more. Gradu Rijeci je dala ime, a od 1915. i pitku vodu. EN This protected natural site and the jewel of the Grobnik area is located amidst unspoilt nature – it is no wonder that this is a very popular destination among many nature lovers and sport enthusiasts. The Rječina is a typical karst river whose source is located at the foot of Kičelj hill. After flowing through deep canyons with numerous rapids for 18 kilometres, the Rječina flows in to the Adriatic Sea. In fact, this river not only gave the town its name, but has also provided its inhabitants with drinking water since 1915.
