Manifesto

Na Bregu is in no hurry.

The Sava slows down here. Between Smlednik and Dragočajna it spreads into a long, calm beach — equally good for a morning paddleboard session and a spring picnic with the family. For decades we have been the locals to guests of Kamp Smlednik — restaurant, courts and accommodations under the same canopy of trees. A freshly cut lawn, the shade of old poplars, the hiss of a grill announcing lunch.

Sports centre

Courts, beach, water.

Three full-size courts, two table-tennis tables and an entire river beach to use. Step out of the water with wet hair and walk straight to your serve.

01
Tennis
A classic red-clay court, equally happy with morning amateurs and afternoon duels.
Reservation
02
Beach volleyball
A freshly turned sand court overlooking the river. The net is always up; the ball waits in the basket.
03
Basketball
An outdoor court at the edge of the woods, with room for a quick one-on-one or a full five.
04
Table tennis
Two tables under the canopy — fit for a quiet morning rally or a tournament that runs into dusk.

Beach and water

A maintained beach on the river and lake banks. Swim, paddleboard, row — or just watch the river move past.

Restaurant and picnic

Cool shade, warm food.

Open daily

Restaurant

A restaurant with a generous indoor room, a large garden and a terrace. Eat and drink in the pleasant shade of the trees, or on the open terrace above the river.

By arrangement

Picnic area

Tables and grills available for rent for larger groups. The picnic area sits next to the sports courts, so lunch slips easily into a tournament.

Stays

Sleep where you spent the day.

Above the restaurant

Six rooms above the restaurant. A soft bed, a window onto the lawn, mornings that start with a coffee on the terrace.

The rooms are kept simple and warm — wooden floors, light bedding, an en-suite bathroom. Close enough to the grill and the courts, far enough that the only sound at night is the Sava. Breakfast waits downstairs.

Party space

An evening that runs past dinner.

A covered terrace under strings of lights and an indoor room for larger groups. Birthdays, anniversaries, gatherings — none of them in a hurry to end. The kitchen and the grill come with the room.

Plan an event

Strung lights, long tables, music until midnight.

Gallery

Our bank, today.

Courts in the morning light, the restaurant under chandeliers of glass bottles, evenings beneath strings of lights above the tables.

Close by

A day off the bank.

Short drives, a different kind of day. Our surroundings hold castles, lakes and alpine peaks — all reachable in a single trip.
