This statue of Zlatorog, the goat with the golden horns stands right on the lake. The legend tells about this fabolous creature who lived in a garden on Triglav mountain, guarding a secret treasure. It was shot by a greedy hunter who was after the treasure. The dying Zlatorog ate a flower which revived it. Then, it its rage, it killed the hunter and destroyed the garden. Since then it dissapeared. See here about the Zlatorog.
The hayrack is one of the most typical constructions, richly varied across the different cultural landscape types in Slovenia. The hayrack became the trademark of the Slovenian cultural landscape. However, mechanised haymaking, baling of fresh or dry hay and modern storage, all have different requirements and have made hayracks redundant. In some instances, the vertical supporting of a hayrack has been made of reinforced concrete, which enables some further use.
