When the word “Praprot” is mentioned in the association, everything is immediately clear to everyone – weekend parties in Gorski Kotar for all members of the association. It is a reward for all the hard work of organizing Liburnicon, so that the organizers have a special treatment on that weekend vacation, and along the way take the opportunity to make a meeting about how Liburnicon went that year.
It all started since we discovered that in Gorski Kotar there is a barn near the meadow, surrounded by woods, where you can play football in peace, barbecue, sing karaoke, meet and play board games and D&D to the point of unconsciousness. It was Praprot, near Crni Lug, a place through which many generations of Liburnicon organizers and members of the association passed. In the peace of untouched nature, for three days we would hang out late into the night, with stews and beer, rock hits, walks, mushrooms and a whole van table games. Here and there, some dormouses would break and walk over the sleepers’ heads – but that was less important.
Then Praprot closed, and we found an alternative in the beautiful mountain lodge Skrad. Every year, under the roof of the terrace next to the home, there are grill masters and guitar players, while inside, next to the pellet stove, there is a geymer atmosphere, and on the terrace in the attic, chill crews on armchairs. Sunday is a day reserved for excursions - to Zeleni vir or Kamačnik. Here and there, instead of ‘Let’s go to Skrad’, we say ‘Let’s go to Praprot’, but everyone knows what that means – Praprot is synonymous with a relaxed feast of dear people that lasts all weekend. Real teambuilding.
