Roofless kozolec from the Ribnica valley

A similar drying device is the roofless kozolec from the Ribnica valley, also known as “kozuček”. It’s a wooden construction with upstanding pillars and cross members on which the grain and hay were placed. The point of both ostrvi and the roofless kozolec was that the locals could put them up and take them down as needed throughout the year.
