original domestic dishes featuring maruns (special dishes
with chestnuts – turkey breast stuffed with chestnuts,
cutlet au gratin with chestnuts, rump-steak with chestnut
sauce, flaming crepes with chestnut cream ...).
Every year, Marunada is accompanied by a series
of sports and entertainment events, which visitors may
participate in. Traditionally held during Marunada are:

bicycle tournament, a mountaineering excursion, a hiking
