Opis poti
Območje Bajerja je danes eno največjih mokrišč v Semiču. Tukajšnji potoki, izviri in ribnik nudijo idealne življenjske pogoje vlagoljubnim rastlinam in živalim.
Okoli ribnika se lahko sprehodite po krožni stezi. Še posebej spokojno je tukaj spomladi, ko se na gladini jezera zrcalijo svetlozelene krošnje dreves, ki rastejo ob mirni vodi. Na urejenem bajerskem izviru se lahkoodžejate s čisto hladno vodo in v miru posedite na klopci ob njem. Po odlično izvirsko vodo prihajajo ljudje od blizu in daleč, saj cenijo njeno osvežujočo naravno energijo.
Bajer je vodno zajetje s pritokom pod naseljem Potoki v rožendolski dolini. Že ime naselja Potoki pove, da je to svet potokov in izvirov. Z zajezitvijo potoka na Bajerju za potrebe delovanja parnih lokomotiv je nastal večji ribnik.
Ob njem stoji stavba, v kateri je ohranjena in muzejsko predstavljena vodna črpalka. Stavbo z vodno črpalko so zgradili v sklopu gradnje železniške proge in je bila odprta 25. maja 1914.
V neposredni bližini Bajerja se prične tudi znamenit Semiški predor (dolg 1975,19 m), ki je najdaljši enotirni predor v Sloveniji.
Interesting Facts
When you start descending from the Vahta Mountain Pass (615 meters/2,017 feet above sea level) in Gorjanci towards the Kolpa River, you have arrived to Svobodno belokranjsko ozemlje, Unija vinorodnih dežel (“Free White Carniola Territory, the Union of Winegrowing Regions”). In Jugorje, customs officers will stop you before the Gostilna Peter Badovinac Inn and ask you about “pasoš” (passport) and „vinojeta“, mandatory documents required to enter the little land of white birches. Passengers are also checked, in order not to sneak to Bela krajina anything forbidden, such as bad mood, a foreign wine, depression, or even political quarrels and discords. „Vinojeta“ enables you to claim a fifty percent discount at all free-of-charge parking lots in White Carniola, and the “pasoš” provides you with numerous benefits in restaurants, campsites, wineries, etc.

We recommend that you try the Bela krajina Flatbread. Wow! It is similar to bread, but better.
Ingredients:
- 500 g white wheat flour
- 300 ml lukewarm water
- 2 tsp salt
- 20 g yeast
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 egg (beaten egg to coat the flat bread)
- a pinch of whole caraway seeds
- a pinch of coarse-grain salt
Preparation
Make a bread mixture from flour, water and yeast. Let rise and then put it on an oiled surface to stretch into a circle with a diameter of 30cm, press until it is 1 or 2cm thick reducing thickness towards the edge. Make 7 straight cuttings on the dough, coat it with the beaten egg, sprinkle with caraway and a pinch of coarse-grain sea salt. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 200°C–220°C/392°F-428°F.
