FesDivjal is a Slovenian and international wild food festival, which took place for the first time in 2021, as a realization of the idea and wish of the late Dario Cortesa, once a leading Slovenian forager, expert in the field of edible and medicinal plants. The mission of continuing his work and creating the festival was given to Karmen Gajšek, who designed the first festival in Pohorje, in cooperation with TD Resnik and friends of collectors. Then it was time to move - to her birthplace, in the heart of Slovenia's largest regional park, Kozjansko regional park. The venue in the middle of the Travni orchard of old varieties of apples and pears, for which Kozjansko is famous, became the home of FesDivjal. Next to the hayloft, in the embrace of meadows and forests, nature intertwines with culture and the world of wild treasures comes to life.

FesDivjal is the first and largest festival of practical nature conservation, preservation of old knowledge and skills, modern sonar findings and sustainable way of life in Slovenia.
