Copekov mlin Traditional Cache

[SLO]

Copekov mlin spada v občino Velika Polana. Nahaja se v zaselku Mačkovci, približno en kilometer od vasi Mala Polana. Leži na obrobju Polanskega loga, ki je poznan kot eno večjih rastišč črne jelše v Evropi. Poleg jelše je v tem območju našlo zavetje mnogo predstavnikov živalskega in rastlinskega sveta. Med njimi je črna štorklja, ki v nasprotju z belo štorkljo gnezdi v gozdu in se izogiba bližine ljudi. Copekov mlin je edini mlin, ki se je ohranil na potoku Črncu. Nekdaj je bilo na potoku v dolžini 5 kilometrov pet takšnih mlinov. Copekov mlin je znan kot edini ohranjeni predindustrijski mlin in njegovo obnovo je podprla Evropska unija. Copekov mlin predstavlja pristen primer etnološke dediščine, saj ima osnovne značilnosti vodnega mlina. Tehniški objekt je zaščiten tudi kot zgodovinski spomenik. Lesena zgradba z vodnim kolesom je bila obnovljena v letu 1990.
