WELCOME TO CENTER RINKA
The central cell of Center Rinka is a multi-purpose hall for multimedia presentations, lectures, education, seminars, workshops, guest exhibitions or small cultural events.
The walls around the hall feature a permanent exhibition about the life and nature of the Solčava region, titled ‘Solčava – a walk in the lap of the Alps’, which leads visitors on a walk from an original residence to a house, to wood and sheep in the yard, into the forest, to a stream, a mountain lawn, to rocks and into the mountains.
On the ground floor there is an exhibition and sales area of products from the Solčava region and the wider environment.
Larch and spruce mountain wood fittings give the bright space a feeling of warmth, while decorative and useful woollen objects provide a feeling of softness. The excellent range of local food and drink products ensure a pleasant aroma and something to cater to all tastes.
Within the single space, the content is complemented by an exhibition sales corner, tasting of local products, a coffee bar, and a reading, internet and children’s corner.
The first floor houses the offices of the Municipality of Solčava, while the office of the director of the institute is in the attic. The attic houses the offices for the Rural Development Incubator, with the possibility of using the common areas and administrative equipment (telecentre).
By exhibiting and selling local products, the aim is to encourage the use of quality:
• products from Solčava mountain wood,
• wool products of the indigenous Jezersko-Solčava breed of sheep,
• products from local stone – Solčava marble,
• food products from Solčava farms,
The facility is managed by the Rinka Center – the Institute for Tourism and Sustainable Development of the Solčava Region, founded by the Municipality of Solčava.
Center Rinka is intended for people and organisations who have ideas and a desire for entrepreneurial or artistic creation. It is also a place for intergenerational socialising and the preservation of heritage, which give an important impetus to the sustainable development of the Solčava region.
The centre is a place where locals, visitors and professionals encounter the same key themes:
• the beauty of nature and its protection,
• traditional values and the preservation of heritage,
• quality of life,
• sustainable use of natural resources,
The Center Rinka logo is very eloquent. It looks like the sun.
In the middle there is a circle – a central ring – around which there are droplets that flow to the centre. From a different perspective, the droplets can be seen as arrows pointing away from the centre.
The logo symbolises the centre’s close connection with the environment. There are eight droplets around the central ring, which are a symbol of infinity and which indicate a continuous exchange of materials, ideas and information between the centre and the environment.
A sustainable lifestyle is the guiding principle of the efforts of the employees at Center Rinka and the Municipality of Solčava, and integration is at the core of the idea of sustainable development
