Page 5: FARM STAYS IN SLOVENIA

We are happy to present our new tourist farm catalogue, in which you will find ideas and hints for visiting tourist farms across Slovenia. A new feature of this year's catalogue is a separate presentation of 29 specialized tourist farms and their offer. The catalogue allows you to book your holiday on a chosen tourist farm yourself and, by offering detailed descriptions of excursion farms, wine cellars and Karst »osmice«, it helps you to plan your excursions, special occasions and organize business encounters. A visit to the Slovenian countryside is a truly unique experience, because the moment you cross the threshold of a rustic home, you become part of a story that you also, willingly or not, help create. In a close contact with

nature, with country folks and their culture, wisdom, customs and traditions, you can relax and get in touch with your inner self again. We cordially invite you to visit the Slovenian countryside, where everyday life still resists the merciless hustle and bustle of urban environments and time passes more slowly.

Venčeslav Tušar, President of the

Slovenian Tourist Farm Association

Dear tourist farm guests,

Page 6: FARM STAYS IN SLOVENIA

Feel harmony with nature

Allow yourself to escape from your every-day routine and surrender to the embrace of green nature. The smell of freshly mown grass, the touch of crystal-clear water, the taste of a freshly picked apple and a view of the velvet-green meadow on the next hill: all this will put you in tune with the energy of luxuriant nature. Time goes slower in the Slovenian countryside. A visit to one of Slo-venia’s over four hundred open farms can be the starting-point for a walk in the un-touched natural surroundings of the Triglav National Park, white-water rafting on the Soča, an exploration of the rocky Karst be-neath the Mediterranean sun, a bicycle tour of the byways of Štajerska and Koroška, a stirring river-ferry ride along the Mura in Prekmurje, or a wander through the forests of Dolenjska. Reach out and touch the diver-sity of green experiences.

Feel hospitality

Slovenia is a small country full of diverse experiences. The Slovenian countryside is where you can still hear genuine Slovene dialects, see traditional architecture and en-joy old rural customs. In the traditional rural environment you can still find the quality of a full life and feel the importance of tradi-tional values. Whether the occasion is a local holiday or simply everyday tasks about the farm, you will relish the positive energy of open-hearted people, sing old Slovene songs and laugh along with the healthy rustic hu-mour. Sincere, warm-hearted people will serve you the finest produce of their gardens and fields, their cellars, smokehouses, store-rooms and kitchens. With a smile of wel-come they will accept you among themselves and share with you a part of their daily exist-ence. Enjoy the slower pace of life, abandon yourself to the harmony of the co-existence of man and nature, and feel the genuineness of the Slovenian countryside.

Feel the variety of traditionalflavours

No rural festivity – or ordinary day for that matter – is complete without locally pro-duced, home-made food and drink. Some of the dishes you will encounter most fre-quently on Slovenia’s farms include tradi-tional cabbage, bean and potato dishes. Spoil yourself with a variety of sweet and savoury strudels and sample various types of home-made bread. In the Karst you can also try the local Karst ham. And every farm will offer its own version of potica, a cake filled with walnuts, poppy seeds, raisins, cream cheese, herbs or even crackling. This wealth of entic-ing aromas and flavours is complemented by the white wines of the Štajerska region, Cviček from Dolenjska or Teran from the Karst. And to finish with, a drop of home-made fruit brandy or delicious mead. Feel the value of nature’s gifts and enjoy the gen-uine flavours of home-made food and drink.

Feel the life of the countryside

Wake up to the sound of cowbells and bird-song and the smell of freshly-baked bread. Start the day actively at daybreak and try your hand at mowing grass, milking cows and other chores in the cowshed or barn, or join the locals at work in the fields. Then take a well-earned rest in the pleasant shade of a nearby hayrack. You can vary your days in the country with horse riding or cycling along forest trails, and in the evening you can gather round the stove in the farmhouse and join in with traditional rural games. On special occasions you can get a taste of rural festivities. Join the friendly locals at grape harvest or at the time of the pig slaughter and learn old folk dances. Prepare yourself for a variety of experiences of the countryside, from the stone court-yards of the dry Karst, to the wooden build-ings of the Alpine dairy farms in Gorenjska, vineyard cottages in Dolenjska or the mud-plastered, straw-thatched little houses of Prekmurje and Štajerska.

The coastal area and the Karst are covered with olive trees and vines, but beneath the surface are countless karst caves, one of the most beautiful facets of our planet. Between the mountains of the Gorenjska region are deep gorges with crystal-clear water, and the characteristics of the lan-

dscape mean that the traditions of moun-taineering and Alpine dairy farming are alive and well here. Dolenjska is the land of Cviček wine, thermal springs and exten-sive forests and the region is also famous for its traditional woodenware. Štajerska is best known for its wide range of fine wines

and as a region that offers endless oppor-tunities for recreation. Koroška, the cradle of the Slovene nation, also offers a wealth of opportunities for mountaineering and hiking. The river Mura, with its tradition of floating mills and lumber rafts, is a central element of the Prekmurje region.

HOT FACTS:

• 850 farm stays• 37% of Slovenia is a protected area- NATURA 2000• 2.104 farms involved in organic farming• 140.00 bee colonies• 80-90 million litres of wine produced• 8.936 hectares of orchards• 400 tonnes of olive oil produced in 1,600 hectares of olive groves• 170 traditional and characteristic dishes• 7.000 kilometres of marked mountain paths

An increasing number of Slovenian tourist farms are celebrat-ing twenty (or more) years since opening their doors to the guests for the first time. Timidly at first, and more and more boldly later on, they have laid the foundations for making farm holidays one of the most popular leisure options in plac-es where people could not make a living on farming alone.

Far from crowds and everyday rush, surrounded by peace and greenery, you will find tourist farms; the best ones are in plac-es where there are no more asphalt roads, traffic lights, street lighting or billboards. These are also the places where man and nature are in closest contact.

Tourist farms are the home of friendly hosts who live and work in harmony with nature and use their common sense in everything they do. They are aware of the fact that they will reap just what they sow; in other words, they will have guests if they take good care of them. Rooms they offer are comfortable and generally equipped with every-thing modern people need in order not to feel cut off from the rest of the world. Farm animals are real and you cannot turn them off or silence them. Far from hectic urban life the difference betwen day and night is more pronounced: days are brighter and nights are truly dark. In the coolness of the morning you can catch the sunrise and watch the sunset in the evening. You can go running for a mile or two in the fresh morning air and then enjoy sitting down to a richly laden table. Food on the farms is mostly home grown: vegetables come fresh from the fields, the garden or the pantry, meat comes from the barn, and drinks come from the vineyard or the orchard. The quality of the food is high and its variety depends on the season. Meals are enjoyed slowly and there is plenty of time to say all the things that we never have enough time to say on other days. On a tourist farm you’ll learn the true meaning of free time: there is

no rush and no competitiveness, no pressure to achieve a goal at any cost. You can relax in the shade of a tree in the middle of a meadow and read a book or enjoy a glass of wine in peace and quiet. Your hosts can also take you to the barn, show you the work that is done in the vineyards, in the meadows or in the wine cellar. Children can see for themseves where milk comes from, how cheese is made, how to bake bread and where do all the goodies that arrive to the dinner table actu-ally come from. Some tourist farms have specialized in different areas with respect to their target groups: some of them are more children-oriented, others are family-friendly, or they cater to the needs of cylicsts or handi-capped guests; there are also wine-

oriented farms that lie in the midst of vineyards and organic farms that specialize in growing organic food. Therefore the choice of a farm on which to spend your vacation is not an easy matter; indeed, there are several hundred of them scattered across Slovenia. They may seem dif-ferent, but the combination of rea-sons why to spend a vacation in the countryside has a common denomi-nator: because of a genuine contact with nature. Nature is simple, hon-est, patient, kind and imbued with common sense. In it you can find all those things that you don’t gener-ally find in your everyday life. In the following pages you can take a look at the specialized offer of 29 tourist farms that have tailored their offer to different target groups of guests.

Tourist farms are the place where nature and man

come in closest contact. What else could you

possibly want?

The village of Čadrg is located in the Triglav national Park at an elevation of 700 metres above sea level. It is embraced by the Tolmin hills and has fewer than thirty inhabitants. The people there are truly in love with this piece of land under the hills that was first cultivated by their ancestors. The Bončin family living on the Pri Lovrču farm with 29 hectares of meadows and pastures pursue organic animal husbandry and make sure that the pastures do not become overgrown. Their principal activity is the production of cow’s milk that is processed at the village cheese dairy into the well-known autochthonous cheese, Tolminc, and albumin cot-tage cheese. They market their products under the Biodar organic food trademark. Even though animal husbandry and cheese making make for a lot of work, they are happy to take time for tourists who find their way into the village. They have arranged two apartments and will, with prior arrangement, serve their guests a lunch that is characteristic of the Tolmin hills. They also sell seasonal vegetables, walnuts and pear brandy. The hosts will never say no to an offer of help with the farm work. They recommend that guests go see Mount Razor, the source of the Tolminka River and the Tolmin chutes, ascend Mount Javorca, visit Kobarid and take to the mountain cycling trails.

The Kranjc farm lies at the end of a village situated on a hill beneath the mighty Mount Krn offering wonderful views of the surrounding mountain peaks of the Julian Alps. The farm is also close to one of the most beautiful mountain villages, Drežnica. The rich flora and the gentle musical background created by the multi-tude of birds provide for an excellent environment for spending quality free-time. At the Pri Arnejčku farm, they have adapted their services to cyclists and hikers. They are, therefore, able to offer advice on the numerous mountain cycling trails leading to the bathing spots on the Nadiža River, the numerous waterfalls, nearby villages or mountain trails. You can rent bicycle and hiking equipment there. The Alpe-Adria Trail and the Trail of Peace in Posočje pass by the farm. You can walk to the mountains, among cows, sheep and goats, or to the Koseška korita chutes where you can rest at bioenergy points surrounded by the silence and stillness of a picturesque forest. There is an open-air museum not far away from the farm featuring the remnants of frontline bunkers from the First World War. You can quickly reach Čedad and Goriška Brda by car or take a car-train to Bled and Bohinj. You can canoe, kayak or raft down the emerald Soča River, while the Posočje region is also a paragliders’ paradise. Guests are offered a diverse buffet breakfast and din-ner that are based on healthy food from the garden on the farm and on traditional specialties. You can taste homemade lamb or fresh Soča River trout (Marble trout), sweet drežniški štruklji rolled dumplings and a glass of homemade brandy.

This farm is located at the heart of the Triglav national Park and more precisely in the Trenta Valley. It is situated at the end of a little-frequented road near a forest and the Soča River. The house has three apartments, and there are two independent small houses that you can hire. Children can play on the playground, there are sporting accessories available and there is even a vegetable garden. They serve their guests breakfast and dinner: homemade bread, bread buns, dried meat products made of mutton and pork produced at the farm as well as venison dishes, zaseka spread, cheese, cottage cheese with čompa potatoes, homemade pastry, vegetables and fruit served in the main room of the farmhouse with a small library and a play corner for children. The younger members of the family – Matevž, Jakob, Gregor and the youngest, Maruša, will happily present the wonders of living on a mountain farm that is home to Jaki the donkey, Pika the mare, sheep and lambs, pigs, chickens, Medo the dog and cats. As the Pretner family knows the national park well, they are an invaluable source of information necessary for wandering around the beautiful natural surroundings that are at arm’s reach for all those staying at the farm. The information centre of the Triglav national Park, the source of the Soča River, the Soča trail, the channels of the Mlinarica River and the beautiful Beladovec stream are all close by. There is also a long list of cultural and historical attractions that guests can visit.

You will find the tourist farm of the Valentinčič family in Podsabotin, the first village in Goriška Brda. It is surrounded by vineyards that grow proudly on the fertile soil of Goriška Brda where the great grandfather Doro planted the first vines 47 years ago, all of which means that this farm is truly worth visiting. The Valentinčič family is most proud of their quality wine, into which they invest a lot of tender loving care and knowledge. You are sure to enjoy the tastings of many varieties of wine ranging from the autochthonous Briška Rebula (Ribolla) to the usual French varieties. They produce mostly fresh white wines: Briška Rebula (Ribolla), Sauvignon vert, Pinot gris, Chardonnay, Malvasia. Their red varieties include Pinot noire and Merlot. The Valentinčič family is famous for their excellent culinary masterpieces: frtalja omelettes made with herbs freshly picked from the home garden, homemade jam, fruit juices and cold cuts. You can stay at the tourist farm throughout the year and enjoy the following activities: bungee jumping from the Solkan Bridge, hikes to Sabotin and Sveta Gora, football, basketball and volleyball (Kojsko, 6 km), fishing in the Soča River (3 km), cycling, jumping into the Adriatic Sea, which is only 30 kilometres away, or into the pool on the farm. In winter, you can take to the ski slopes on Mount Kanin or in Cerkno. The people in Goriška Brda (Brici) are very proud of the cultural heritage of their milieu, so you should not neglect visiting Šmartno with a defensive wall and Sveta Gora with a WWI museum or seeing the Dobrovo Castle, etc.

Zakojca lies on the edge of the Primorska region (Slovenian littoral), on the border of the Tolmin and Cerkljansko regions, high above Baška grapa, on the hillside of the domed Mount Kojca. The farm of the Tušar family is situated at the beginning of the village. The farm is better known by the name Pri Flandru. The farm is sustainably run, which is why there is always plenty of homemade food such as juices, vegetables, potatoes and meat products like prosciutto, želodec salami, other salamis, zaseka spread, homemade bread and other delicacies from Marija’s kitchen. In addition to seeing other animals on the farm, children can ride horses and take a ride in a carriage. Along with learning horseback riding skills and cross country riding, guests can go on rid-ing tours in the nearby surroundings lasting several days, whereby there are six horses at most available for any single tour. In the summer, they can cycle, as-cend Mount Kojca (1303 m), Mount Porezen (1632 m), Črna prst and Rodica or play on the playground with their children. The surroundings abound in natural and cultural attractions. You can visit the Divje Babe archaeological site, the museum in Kobarid, the Franja Partisan hospital, the mercury mine in Idrija and many other natural and cultural attractions. You can also drive to the rivers Idrijca or Bača for some fishing or swimming. There are certainly many more interesting activities to be enjoyed at the farm as well.

Mirela and Adrijana Peresin see their tourist farm that lies at the western-most part of Brda, right next to the border with Italy, which specialises in healthy living, as a farm where guests can experience a clean environment and healthy food produced at home. The farm is called Breg. They like to say: “We pick it and we cook it!” And because it is also healthy to exercise, the farm is especially friendly to cyclists. They rent bikes, have a bike storage facility, have a business relationship with a bike repair shop and are able to provide advice on the choice of cycling routes – both on the Slovenian and the Italian side of Brda, on the plains and on the hills. “Some take a ride to Čedad for a cup of coffee, while oth-ers climb Mount Matajur and Mount Korada.” The hosts cook in the kitchen in a typical farmhouse with a smaller room on the ground floor featuring a fireplace and a large room with a glazed terrace on the upper floor that boasts a view over the landscape of Goriška Brda. The dishes they prepare are based on old recipes typical of Goriška Brda and the Friuli region and characterised by many herbs. Their specialty is barley dishes with vegetables, seasonal min-estrone soups, frtalja omelettes, the Friuli friko, grandma’s toč with prosciutto and polenta, seasonal cherry, chestnut and pumpkin dishes. In the summer of 2013, they started using the lavender growing in their own field for many different applications.

The Karst borjač courtyards and homesteads are protected against the bora wind by tall walls. One such homestead is the renovated Petelin-Durcik farm located on the edge of the Pliskovica village, right next to the western national border and along the Karst tourist and wine road. It is surrounded by vineyards that produce Teran, a characteristic Karst wine. This ruby-red wine has been bringing joy and immeasurable pride to the people of Karst for ages. As a viticultural farm included in the programme for integrated cultivation of grapes and production of wine, it organises wine tastings for its guests, which include Teran, as well as Malvasia, Vitouska (Vitovska grganja) and Teran liqueur; the mentioned beverages can also be purchased at the farm. Your Karst experience will not be complete without the characteristic Karst cuisine and its delicacies: prosciutto, štruklji rolled dumplings, jota soup, and gnocchi. The hosts are true connoisseurs of tradition and customs, which is why they love presenting their locality to their guests, whom they take on a tour of the Pliska study trail. In order to show their guests the characteristics of the Karstic world, they recommend visiting the Škocjan Caves and the Vilenica Cave, which is considered to be the first Slovenian tourist cave. Guests can rent bicycles at the farm and ride to Štanjel, Komen, Trstelj or Tomaj, where the poet Srečko Kosovel was born.

If you don’t have a problem getting up early in the morning, you will get the con-firmation that you are truly in the heart of nature, in the midst of meadows along the Nanoščica stream and at the foot of Mount Nanos: you can observe deer while they graze in the morning from the balcony of your room at the Hudičevec establishment. The farm also breeds horses, cows, sheep and donkeys, so it is understandable that when conversation turns to the culinary menu, they will first highlight their dishes made with organically produced meat from the animals bred at home. They also prepare several types of soups, štruklji rolled dumplings with various fillings, numerous vegetable dishes and a multitude of desserts (potica cakes, štruklji rolled dumplings, strudels, etc.). Guests will find the smell and flavour of the bread baked in the wood-fired bread oven to be especially enticing. You will never be bored at this farm. The ten children are a guarantee that the farm is always a lively place. They also have a Finnish sauna and a fitness studio, and offer table tennis and table football (fussball). The outdoor areas are lit and have swings, slides and a sandbox for children, a picnic area, a bowling alley, a grassed football field, a beach volleyball court and a mini basketball court. You can also rent bicycles or see the rich Karst underground (Postojna Cave, Škocjan Caves) nearby, as well as the close by Lipica Stud Farm. Hikers can choose between ascending the mountains of Nanos, Vremščica, Slavnik or Snežnik.

Because the Cerkljansko region is not Prekmurje, the Želinč family often have cyclists come to their establishment who see a true challenge in riding their bikes up hill and down dale. They usually bring their own bicycles with them, but they can also rent them at the tourist farm (they can also rent a helmet, a child bike seat or a repair set). They further receive a practical map with six cycling routes indicated. Those who decide on tackling the more challenging routes and thus overcoming greater elevation differences are rewarded by unforgettable vistas, which does not, however, mean that the less challenging route along the Idrijca River towards Idrija is any less picturesque. The river is very popular with fisher-men, while the pool next to the house is more suitable for swimming. The farm lies along the Idrija–Tolmin main road, at the confluence of the rivers of Cerknica and Idrijca. It is a member of the European network of houses with tradition. In addition to homemade food, which always includes the characteristic Idrija žlikrofi, they also offer healing therapy with bee air and other apiary products. Trails lead from the farm to the mountains of Porezen and Blegoš, to Tolminsko and Mount Razor. If you prefer winter activities, you will find that the Cerkno ski centre is very close by.

The Pri Lazarju tourist farm is situated on a hill with mounted binoculars that will let you see the capital and the mountain chain of the Kamnik and Savinja Alps, the Karavanke Mountain Range and the Julian Alps. “You can see whether the ski slopes on Krvavec are crowded,” jested the master of the house, while we enjoyed the vistas with snow falling all around us. Children who come to the farm with their parents quickly send their parents home after becoming masters of the ram, sheep and dog. The Bizjan family will teach them about nature, healthy diet, ecology and life on the farm. School groups learn about the occupation of a farmer, the forest and orchard, and take a journey through history and eco farming. The farm is, therefore, friendly to both accompanied and unaccompanied children. Visitors are offered many delicacies, some of which include ox meat, štruklji rolled dumplings, desserts and many more. They are willing to share the secrets behind their culinary specialties and take homemade brandy enthusiasts on a “journey” of discovery of these homemade products. If guests are willing to help in the farm chores, the host will be happy to delegate some to them.

Urša and Miha managed to free up an estate from the stubborn embrace of wilderness. This yielded the name of the estate, Trnulja (blackthorn). They say that these thorns watched and saved this beautiful estate for them. Today, this is an organic farm involved in the cultivation of oleaginous plants and cereals and their processing into organic oils, spreads, regular and wholemeal flour. It is also home to numerous animals; horses, goats, donkeys, ducks, chickens, cats and a dog. Today, this is also an organic, excursion, tourist farm offering eco apartments (they are entirely built with health-friendly materials). The farm has a sales area where they offer organic foodstuffs from their own estate and nearby farms and where they prepare organic lunches on Sundays between 12 noon and 6 PM, while they serve cold cuts on Saturday between 8 AM and 12 noon. The estate is located in Črna vas on the Ljubljansko barje (Ljubljana Marshes), which is a mere seven kilometres from the centre of the capital. The Marshes are an inspiration with their flora, fauna and landscape peculiarities; they are an ideal destination for cycling enthusiasts who may take a stop at the spiritual centre, the church of Sv. Mihael that was built according to the creative design of the famous Slovenian architect, Plečnik.

Because the farm is completely isolated and situated in the middle of meadows, it is highly suitable for families or groups of children accompa-nied by their teachers. They prepare three- to six-day long programmes for children that will leave them no time for swinging on the swings or playing in the sandbox, as they will be occupied with nature and animals all day long. They bake buns with the lady of the house, help with the milking in the cowshed, ride on a horse drawn carriage, walk along the study trail and help care for the cows, horses, pigs, sheep, the donkey, ducks, chickens and cats. In winter, the hosts arrange a sled run for them, and the ski slopes on Stari vrh and Cerkno are also not far away.The food there is homemade as the farm, boasting an organic farming certificate, cultivates all their own vegetables and produces milk and milk products (sour milk, cottage cheese, butter), meat and dried meat prod-ucts (sausages, braciola), while the children always prefer macaroni, crepes and semolina pudding. The adults will love a small glass of homemade brandy to accompany their homemade dishes. They will clear their throat with brandy after they return from short hikes to Bukov vrh, Pasja ravan and Sv. Urban or from longer hikes to Mount Blegoš and Mount Lubnik.

Apartments in wooden buildings built in the style of old Slovenian granaries, a sauna, a solarium, a Jacuzzi, massage parlour, fitness centre, a beauty salon – the common denominator is the Korošec tourist farm, which lies in the middle of the idyllic village of Ljubija, which is not far from Mozirje and is close to the Golte ski slopes and the Topolšica spas. The farm boasts a specialised offer geared towards a healthy lifestyle. To the above, you can also add mountaineering, cycling (bike rental available at the farm), kayak and raft rides along the Savinja River, swimming and horseback riding, as well as ice skating (ice skate rental), skiing and cross-country skiing (cross-country ski rental) in winter. They also have their own lake where you can swim in the summer and ice skate in winter. It is the children who most enjoy all of the above activities, which is why the hosts warmly welcome families with children. The Upper Savinja Valley (Zgornja Savinjska dolina) offers a range of natural, cultural and historical attractions. Some of them worth mentioning are Mozirski gaj park, the Alpineum botanical garden on Golte, the entire valley of Logarska dolina with the Rinka Waterfall, the valleys of Matkov and Robanov kot, the Snežna Cave and other beautiful natural features. We must not neglect mentioning the forestry museum and the monastery library in Nazarje, the depository of mass vestments in Radmir and the coalmining museum in Velenje.

When you stay at the Stoglej tourist farm, you will enjoy magnificent views of the nearby mountains, especially the Raduha, which rises above Luče. The homestead is located along a stream on the edge of a forest and is perfect for spending a family vacation. Children can play in the sandbox or on the swings and can help care for the animals in the stables. Just a few kilometres away, in the valley of Logarska dolina, is the Magical Forest (Pravljični gozd), a true paradise for children. Parents can talk to the locals about the old customs and the mountains. The lady of the house serves house specialties such as dried meat products, žlikrofi, cottage cheese štruklji rolled dumplings, dumplings, potica cakes, strudels, plum or currant jam, sour milk, young cheese, homemade yoghurt and juices made of elder, currants or apples. As there is a forest by the house, you can pick healing herbs, mushrooms and other fruits of the forest. You can fish, kayak or raft on the Savinja River, which runs only 300 metres from the farm.

The Žibovt organic tourist farm awaits you at the beginning of the Solčava pano-ramic road or just three kilometres from the Pavličevo sedlo border crossing if you drive through the village of Preddvor and Jezersko or via Austria. At the entrance to Žibovče, there is a stream on the right-hand side that runs into the pond and a patch of wetland on the farm with many endangered plant species. The homestead lies on a plain and is surrounded by meadows and forests. The mighty old pear tree that stands in the middle of the courtyard, along with the linden trees, provide shade in the summer. Homemade cheeses of all types, buckwheat žganci, bread, savinjski želodec salami and other homemade meat products, fruit juices, dried fruit and mountain tea are a must that will make your meals there a delight. Their cuisine is seasonal and based on tradition. A part of this tradition is the bees, which have been diligently providing honey for a number of generations as well as pollinating the plants and maintaining the biodiversity of the area. If you decide to stay here for several days, you can spend your time hiking, cycling or walking. The area along the panoramic road where the Žibovt farm is located is known for the healing properties of the iron-saturated mineral water (calcium, magnesium, hydrogen carbonate rich mineral water), with which you can quench your thirst along the way. You will feel the warmth of mountain wood every step of the way: beside the wood-fired bread oven, while playing the wooden board games (made at the farm), on the playground, etc.

The Lešnik organic tourist farm is adapted and suitable for families with children. They strive to preserve the tradition, folk songs and customs at the farm. The farm is situated in an isolated location and is a good base for numerous excursions, mountain biking, paragliding (with the option of landing on the farm) as well as sledding and skiing. The farm features a rich natural and cultural heritage: protected linden trees and holly, the toplar double hayrack covered with shingles, wooden lodge, granary with a press and a mill, a chapel, two wells, an ethnological collection, a herb garden, etc. A new feature at the farm is the farmer’s camp with arranged living and socialising premises on a kozolec hayrack with a large screen for film projection. There is free-of-charge Internet access available at the camp and in the house. Another new feature is the renovated beehive with the option of apitherapy. The farm also has a playground for children, table tennis and a volleyball court; there are also many toys, books and group games available at the house. A special feature of this farm is that they strive to preserve old rural board games made of wood. The farm is distinguished by good, organic, homemade food with an emphasis on local culinary delicacies. The Lešnik farm is also a study farm. They have experience working with children as they have three children of their own. Their daughter, Karmen, plays the zither and flute, their son, Andrej, plays the melodeon (diatonic button accordion), a baritone and trumpet, while their other son, Martin, plays the guitar.

The Pražnikar family farm, endearingly called the Pirc farm, is situated on the hillside above Laško and offers a wonderful view of the surrounding hills and the channel of the Savinja River. The visitors to the farm can spend their holidays in three apartments that are neatly arranged in the wooden house, which is thoughtfully incorporated into the rural environment and provides for healthy and pleasant living. There are a Finnish and an infrared sauna; the green apartment measures 88 m², while the red and blue ones measure 49 + 15 m². You can prepare your dishes yourself and will have the opportunity to buy certain ingredients that have been produced at the farm (cow’s milk, eggs, dried meat products, jam, juice, cider and apple cider vinegar). You can also choose to eat at guesthouses in the nearby town of Laško. The farm breeds dairy cattle and calves, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits and several cats, and also keeps Medo the dog. The Pirc farm looks after children’s needs for play at every step (a children’s playground, archery, basketball, table tennis). There is a plethora of hiking and cycling trails in the surroundings. The town of Laško will excite you with natural beauty and its rich cultural and historical heritage. The farm is also an excellent starting point for all those who take pleasure in swimming, as it is a stone’s throw away from the Wellness park, the Zdravilišče Laško health resort and the Rimske Toplice spas. You can also choose to visit the Maleš Gallery in the nearby Zgornja Rečica, which keeps the legacy of the painter, Miha Maleš, who was the grandfather of Katarina.

Two cycling routes pass by the farm that is locally known as Tuševo: the first route is intended for recreational cyclists and the second for mountain bikers. The master of the house, Uroš, will say that there are more mountain bikers and that men are the more prevalent visitors to his farm. If required, the hosts at the farm help the cyclists with advice or bike repairs. They even offer to wait for cyclists at a prearranged point or to carry their luggage. The lady of the house welcomes cyclists with mushroom soup and pampers them with apple strudels, homemade bread and buckwheat žganci. In addition to delicious bread, you can buy juice, cider and blueberry liqueur. The farm, surrounded by meadows and pastures, offers wonderful vistas over the valley of Šaleška dolina and can cater to groups of as many as 60 people. There is a sunny terrace to enjoy the days during the summer, and a warm wood-fired bread oven to warm you up in winter. Family members like to sing and are happy to play the accordion and/or the double bass. Guests who are not cyclists are directed to Mount Kozjak, the Vinska gora mountain or the Terme Dobrna or the Terme Topolšica spas. There is play equipment for young children next to the house, along with a futsal pitch and a basketball court. There is also a tennis court nearby.

Feeding animals, searching for and gathering chicken eggs, helping granny bake bread – this is how the Marjanca tourist farm, which spe-cialises in being friendly to families with children, invites children and their parents to visit them. The children can play on the playground equipment (swing, sandbox, slide), sing and learn songs with the lady of the house, Tina, who plays the piano and guitar, and even play some small rhythmical instruments. In winter, they can play group games or read children’s books. Parents staying at this farm in the heart of the hills beneath Mount Boč, only three kilometres from the well-known Rogaška Slatina, can visit and see the local attractions such as the mentioned town of Rogaška Slatina and the homestead of Juneževa domačija, the open air museum in Rogatec, the Boč Landscape Park with a Pasque flower habitat, etc. The farm has a wellness centre with modern equipment where tired parents can use up their remaining energies at the end of the day. The spas of Terme Olimia and Terme Rogaška Slatina are located nearby. The Marjanca farm is also known for their original culinary treats that preserve the characteristics of the traditional cuisine of Kozjansko; they will serve you rabbit in a herb sauce, roast goat, buckwheat štruklji, bread from the wood-fired bread oven and homemade wine.

A farm with the name of Kotnik was mentioned as far back as 700 years ago. A special feature of the Arbajter tourist farm is the deer and mouflons that graze and walk freely across the fenced in estate and pose for the guests’ cameras, who do not get to see these lovely animals every day. It is a farm that is friendly to families and children, but also one at which they know what is good for healthy living. Adults come to the sunny side of Pohorje when they wish for a little good homemade food, peace, rest and quiet in the embrace of the Pohorje forests. They can also enjoy walks past the potable waters of Pohorje, gathering of herbs, fruits of the forest in the forest owned by the Arbajter family as well as views across the valley of Dravinjska dolina. Families with children can make a shepherd’s cabin in the woods and look for the film characters Mojca and Kekec. They can learn how to spend a day in nature without a shop. They can enjoy the day playing with a puppy and kitten, a sheep or goat. They can go bathing at the Terme Zreče spa, ski on Rogla or see the lakes of Lovrenška jezera, etc. Some of the specialties on the Arbajter farm are dishes made with venison, lamb meat, bread baked in a wood-fired bread oven, štruklji rolled dumplings with chives, potica cakes, various desserts, homemade jams and juices, deer, sheep and mouflon salamis and prosciutto, and quality blueberry liqueur (Borovniček). They can also prepare vegetarian and dietary food at the farm by prior arrangement. The young master of the house will cheer up the guests with the diatonic button accordion. Hikers can have their lunches or mixed venison cold cuts prepared for them by prior arrangement. The farm also offers presentations, tasting and viewing of the farm.

Vilma Topolšek, the driving force behind the Urška tourist farm, was deeply touched by the words of her ten year old daughter who was disabled (“You have everything, father likes it, but he has nowhere to sleep.”); as early as in 1998, they constructed an apartment for disabled persons according to international standards when they were building the house. Many disabled persons have spent their holidays at the farm, and there were even more families with children who visited the farm. Children can enjoy the mini zoo, sandbox, swings and the “magical” house where they can go during bad weather and where they are accompanied and led by the grandchildren from the farm. The par-ents will feel pampered at the House of Wellbeing with a Finnish and Turkish sauna, Jacuzzi, massage showers, a hay bunk and a room for resting. Just as the offer on the farm and in its surroundings is diverse (Terme Zreče spa, Rogla ski slopes), so is the offer from the kitchen. Vilma, who stirs the pots with the golden Vikend spoon, prepares delicacies that would have disappeared into oblivion a long time ago had it not been for her. Tone adds to this his homemade white and red wines, while their daughter Urška, after whom the farm was named, is a sommelier who recommends food and wine combinations.

“Stay a while friend, don’t just pass by, Milan serves wonderful wine!” Two Milans actually serve good wine, the older and the younger; both of them are winegrowers, wine cellar men and sommeliers. On the hillsides of Ljutomersko-ormoške gorice, where the heavy clayey soil yields top quality grapes, the Hlebec family owns more than 40,000 vines of the varieties Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Rhine Riesling, Muscat Ottonel, Riesling Italico and the traditional Furmint. Milan, one or the other, will take you on a tour of the richly stocked wine cellar employing modern technology for wine production. The wines are aged according to the tra-ditional method in oak barrels, barrique barrels and in archive wine bot-tles. Gastronomic pleasures are ensured by the young lady of the house, Mateja, with the help of her experienced mother, Verica. She will serve you select homemade dishes and local specialties such as meat dipped in a minced lard and pork mixture (tünka), zaseka spread, mushroom soup, roast duck, homemade sausages, black pudding, etc. You also must be sure to taste the prleška pogača flat cake made with buckwheat, cabbage, pumpkin and apples. You can then walk in the vineyards or cycle along the marked cycling trails (you can rent bicycles on the farm). When you go up hill and down dale, you will be rewarded by magnificent vistas. You can also cycle on the plains.

The name of the Čebelji gradič (bee castle) organic farm already tells us that this is home to experts in apiculture and honey products. In the heart of the Goričko Landscape Park, they have decided to pursue the organic method of beekeeping – they know that the bees can only make quality honey from unpolluted nectar, which can in turn only be found in unspoilt nature. By prior arrangement, they will arrange for you an experiential visit where they will open up a hive and present the life of a bee family. They will prepare a tasting of three kinds of organic honey. You can view an ethnological collection and a 100-year-old beehive; when the visit is organised for a group of children, they can make candles made of pure beeswax, play with bunnies and ride Poldi the pony under supervision.

When was the last time you walked on stilts, danced the “pojšter tanc” (dance with a broom) or played “pisker met” (throwing rocks into an old pot)? At the Pri Kovačniku farm, they like to revive the olden and forgotten games with their youngest guests. They have a merry company of “living” toys for them: cows, chickens, sheep, Pepca the Vietnamese pig, Marsi the pony, kittens, Muri the dog and rabbits, while the most beautiful couple are Jaka the drake and Mojca the duck who live in the fairytale house next to the pond. Children can have fun on the roller coaster, swing, slide, climbing equipment or the football field. They like it even more when they can help bake bread or cook jam, gather herbs, press apples into juice, and harvest produce from the field when they come to the farm at the right time of year. They can sleep in the hay barn and listen to the sounds of nature. Mother Angelca and her successor Barbara like to create in the kitchen. You should try the homemade bread with liver pâté or pumpkin spread, cold cuts made from homemade meat products, pork and sausages, delicious desserts, etc. After you have eaten well (or even before that), you can go out and see the local attractions: the church of Sv. križ, Potnikova smreka (Potnik’s Spruce), Vešner Homestead with an open-hearth kitchen, the Fram oil mill, the Rače Castle, the Požeg Landscape Park, the botanical gardens, the lake of Črno jezero, the Šumik and Skalca waterfalls and others. In winter, you can take to the skis at the largest Slovenian ski centre on Mariborsko Pohorje, 11 kilometres away.

The town of Juršinci lies in the heart of Slovenske gorice, a mere 12 kilometres away from Ptuj. The Moj dom tourist farm is situated on a hill; it is surrounded by 12 hectares of vineyards where the wine varieties of Sauvignon, Pinot gris and noire, Yellow Muscatel and Furmint grow. They have received numerous awards at home and abroad for their top quality wines, which you can sample at tastings. They are also known for growing vine graft plantlings. Good wine is always ac-companied by good food such as homemade cold cuts made with meat dipped in a minced lard and pork mixture (tünka), sausages, zaseka spread, cheese and homemade bread. If you arrange it in advance, they will lay the table with seasonal dishes, especially dishes made of buckwheat, dishes prepared in a wood-fired bread oven, kvasenica (sour cream and cottage cheese yeast cake), gibanica layered cake, krapci, potica cakes, etc. Homemade food and wine as well as a myriad of possi-bilities for walks are a good start to a healthy lifestyle. The farm houses the Marta home economics centre with its permanent culinary exhibition, where you can learn about the work and models of home economics. You can attend lectures or cooking classes there. The more active guests can get to know Slovenske gorice on bicycle, which they can rent from the farm. You can learn about the history of Slovenske gorice at the Queen’s Hall featuring the customs of a queen and a mu-seum of the heritage of queens. You can reach the Puh Museum, the Museum of Vineyard Heritage and the Gomila viewing tower by a mountain trail. You can look for healing points, go hunting, fishing or horseback riding, as well as swimming at the thermal spas in Ptuj, Radenci, Banovci or Moravci.

The undulating Slovenske gorice, where the Firbas family has made its home in Cogetinci are “made” for cycling enthusiasts: you will have to pedal hard here, but not too hard, which means that even the rec-reational cyclists will want a turn. You can cycle among mineral water springs and vineyards, along the lake of Negovsko jezero and other nearby lakes, thermal baths, mounds and other attractions, which is why the farm holds a cyclist-friendly designation. The stables at the farm hold pigs, cattle, chickens, rabbits, sheep, a goat and horses. You can play beach volleyball, table tennis, football on a small grassy field or take up archery. All these possibilities mean that the Firbas family is often visited by families with children – the farm also holds a certificate for farms that are child-friendly. The house is registered in the network of European houses with tradition. The lady of the house, Marjana, serves her guests a wide range of delicacies that have received awards at the Delicacies of Slovenian Farms (Dobrote sloven-skih kmetij) event held in Ptuj (sour milk, pork and sausages, roasts, suckling pig, leavened dough soup dumplings, various kinds of bread, gibanica layered cake, etc.). The master of the house, Alojz, will serve you white wines and juices and the house Poire William pear brandy.

The hill on which the Vrbnjak organic tourist farm is located is not reached by the noise of traffic and you will also not see any industrial chimney stacks around. In the triangle between the towns of Ljutomer, Ptuj and Gornja Radgona, the conditions are favourable for organic food cultivation, which is why the Vrbnjak family pamper their guests with fresh vegetables from the garden in the summer and with preserved vegetables in winter. They also market their preserved vegetables successfully in organic stores. Meat products (sausages, salamis, meat dipped in a minced lard and pork mixture (tünka)), dairy products, bread from the wood-fired bread oven and kvasenica (sour cream and cottage cheese yeast cake), postržjača (cake filled with minced lard, garlic and cheese) and other pastries baked in the oven (to order) are also all homemade. You can take homemade wine, juices, teas and various brandies to the apartments designed in accordance with characteris-tic farm architecture. The farm has horses for the youngest visitors to ride as well as horses on which you can ride across the nearby meadows and forests. Horses are accompanied by other domestic animals that are a magnet for the children. They can play on the children’s playground, while parents can visit the nearby spas of Bioterme in Mala Nedelja or Terme Banovci as well as hike or cycle on trails arranged in the surroundings.

The farm is located in the village of Podvrh, along the Bizeljsko-Sremič wine road on the southern slope under the Veliki vrh hill. Several gen-erations here have pursued cattle breeding, which they replaced with winegrowing in the 1990’s. The farm has three hectares of vineyards with various varieties of vines, from which they produce homemade wine and grape juice. They mostly sell young, bulk wines, as well as some quality bottled wines. They arrange tastings at the cellar that are managed by the wine sommelier. Each year, they invite a group of tourists to a traditional grape harvesting. A good wine, of course, goes well with good food. The farm specialises in celebrations of anniver-saries, weddings, personal celebrations, pre-New Year’s Eve parties, business and excursion lunches, whereby they adapt to the guests’ wishes when it comes to the preparation of food. Their specialty is the vineyard feast, while they also treat guests to dishes made with meat and buckwheat. There is a store on the farm where you can buy certain produce from their farm as well as the farms in the surrounding area. The farm has areas for sports and recreation arranged, and guests can rent mountain bikes.

Drbetinci is a small village with vast vistas; in fair weather, you can see Ptuj 15 kilometres away on one side and the vineyards of Slovenske gorice on the other. The farm bearing the name Pri Kapeli is a wine-growing farm; four hectares of vineyards are located in the vicinity of the homestead, along Wine Tourism Road number 13, deemed to be an active wine road as there is always something happening at the providers’. The Druzovič family mostly cultivate the white varieties of Riesling Italico, Sauvignon, Pinot gris, Yellow Muscatel, Traminer and Rhine Riesling, but also the red varieties of Blue Franconian and Pinot noire. They organise guided tastings for guests (the house employs a wine consultant) where they accompany wines with cheese, dried fruit and krapci rolls. The hosts like to recommend that guests visit Ptuj, and perhaps the wine cellars at Gornja Radgona or Lenart, as well as take a drive to the lake of Blaguško jezero. The surroundings are suitable for cycling or running, and there is always enough work on the farm. Because they cultivate and process apples, tables are always well-stocked with fresh fruit and apple juice, vinegar and brandy, dried apples and jams. They are known for mushroom dishes, buckwheat žganci and various pogača flat cakes.

The tourist farm is located in the village of Robidišče, the westernmost village in Slovenia. The farm specializes in cheese making and organic farming and also respects the rich local culinary heritage. You can taste local specialties such as frika (a potato dish), polenta with cheese, štruklji, as well as dairy products such as sheep’s milk yogurt with fruit topping, sheep’s milk cheese and feta cheese. They also offer their guests bread made from organically-grown wheat ground in their own mill. The bread is even more delicious when it accompanies a dish made from lamb or chicken grown on the farm. It also goes well with vegetable stew. Since the hostess has a way with children, the farm places great emphasis on quality holidays of families with children as well as children on their own. Both children and adults can take part in different programs that make them connect with nature through dynamic activities. All programs are created in cooperation with the participants. The farm is an excellent starting point for visiting the nearby towns of Kobarid, Čedad/Cividale, Bovec and Tolmin as well as for hiking in the mountains (Stol, Matajur, Mia). In the summer months you can go for a swim in the crystal clear water of the Nadiža river, just a half an hour’s walk from the village. A day trip to the villages in neighboring Italy is also an interesting option. Finally, Robidišče is definitely a great place for all those who seek peace and simplicity.

Even the most recent generations of the Tonkli family have decided to make their home in Breginjski kot, one of the most beautiful parts of north-western Slovenia. The principal activity at the farm is sheep husbandry, while diligent hands also work the land so that guests can truly enjoy and appreciate excellent homemade produce. The hosts have mastered the preparation of lamb in a baking pot, and guests will cer-tainly find the bread, freshly baked in a wood-fired bread oven, to be uniquely delicious. The farm produces their own marmalade, vegetables, strawberries and many other treats. Breginjski kot is situated in the heart of unspoilt nature and will certainly soothe the souls of all generations of visitors staying there. Guests can spend their vacations at the farm actively, enjoying the commonly known “healing” properties of the Nadiža River, on the nearby mountain peaks such as Stol, Matajur and Mija or riding their bicycles through pictur-esque villages. They may also choose to relax with a cup of fragrant herbal tea on the balcony, surrounded by the sounds of nature, interrupted occasionally by the tolling of the nearby church bell. You can take trips to the Italian Veneto and Resia regions or go on hikes along the valley of the Soča River. You can also take to the skies with a paragliding parachute. If you so desire, you can learn from the lady of the house how to knead bread and bake it yourself in a wood-fired bread oven, or alternatively help the master of the house with farm work. Children visiting the farm can run through the vast meadows each day or spend time with Miška the mare or Phillip the Himalayan goat, both of whom enjoy a little attention.

The owners of the Žvanč tourist farm, the Koren family, live in the small village of Drežniške Ravne at the foot of the mighty Mt. Krn.Their organic farm has been known as an excellent producer of dairy products from time imme-morial. Since they keep cows, sheep and a local breed of goats, they can offer their guests various dairy products, different types of meat, and during your stay at the farm you can also enjoy fresh vegetables and herbs that grow in the home garden. The farm is situated in the immediate vicinity of the Triglav national park. The wonderful natural setting is also characterized by the people who live there. Your hosts will let you enjoy a peaceful vacation, but if you wish, they can also advise you about various activities and introduce you to traditional distinguishing features of the farm. There are many possibilities for walking, hiking and climbing in the surrounding area. The nearby river Nadiža is great for swimming in summer, while the Soča river is known as ideal for rafting among adrenaline sports lovers. There are also numerous possibilities for horseback riding, cycling and paragliding. You can see artifacts from the First World War and the famous Soča/Isonzo Front in the Kobarid Museum and visit the reconstructed front lines in the outdoor museum…

If we say that the farm lies within Triglav national Park, you can almost imagine it: among mead-ows beside a forest with a view of the mountains. And in truth, the Radovna Valley lies between Mount Pokljuka and Mount Mežaklja seventeen kilometers from Kranjska Gora and the same distance from Bled.The female side of the family makes sure that pleasant aromas waft from the kitchen (their specialties include homemade pork and sausages in winter, žganci, buckwheat krapi, dry sausage preserved in minced lard, smoked ham), while the men make sure you will have fresh honey on your bread and that you won’t be bored. They will take you—sometimes via hay wagon—along the Cultural Heritage Trail, you can hike to the valleys of Krma, Kot, or Vrata (Peričnik Waterfall), and of course the farm is an ideal starting point for climbing in the Julian Alps and on Mount Triglav.

The tradition of tourism goes way back on this farm. It is separated from the centre of Kranjska Gora by the edges of a forest and the torrent of Pišnica; the first guests stayed here as early as in 1902. The hosts like to highlight their mastery of the preparation of excellent breakfasts that are certain to excite even the staunchest of vegetarians. They like to host families with children, who will learn about the wonders of nature from up close when they stay at the farm or can simply chase after the many small animals that call this farm their home. In the summer, the farm is an excel-lent base for short or long excursions – on foot, by bicycle or otherwise. In wintertime, the farm is a splendid starting point for all those who enjoy winter activities, as you can go sledding behind the house or ride down the ski slopes or run on the Nordic skiing trails in the vicinity of the farm. If you are not steady on skis, your hosts will be happy to teach you the skills you need. At other times, you can ascend the nearby mountain peaks, ride bicycles, run or simply take a stroll and enjoy the unspoilt nature.

Situated on Medvedje Brdo (Bear Hill), the Šinkovc excursion farm has a marvelous view of the Julian and Kamniške Alps, the Karavanke Mountains, the Polhov Gradec hills, the Ljubljana barje moor, and the Trnovski forests. The hostess serves a variety of traditional delicacies such as homemade salami, pršut (prosciutto), pork, beef, rabbit, young goat, Idrija-style žlikrofi, and good white wines or homemade apple juice. Footpath runs past the farm and there is a bicycle trail to the marshy Žejna dolina Valley. Places worth seeing nearby include Hotedršica, where you can see a mill built over a sinkhole and a traditional “black” kitchen, Vrhnika and the Museum of Technology in Bistra, Idrija with its mercury mine museum and lacemakers, and very close to the farm, the 11th-century Church of Sv. Katerina.Access to the farm: you can drive to Medvedje Brdo from Idrija, Logatec, Godovič or Žiri.

Črni Vrh was once renowned for its cottage industries (barrel making, bucket making, wooden-ware), but now it is oriented toward tourism and farming. The Črni Vrh plateau is a popular excur-sion point, and its small ski center and trails for cross-country skiing and sledding are particularly inviting.Visitors who stop at the Pr’ Mark farm are offered dried meat products typical of Črni Vrh (also for sale), roast pork with žlikrofi (a sort of potato ravioli), and lamb in sauce. They can also rent skis and bicycles and get directions to the mountain lodge on Mount Javorniki, to Divje jezero lake, to Mount Belca, the Franja Partisan Hospital, the observatory, the interesting Klavže dams on the Idrijca River . . .

“Frčejeve,” the Zupan farm, is not hard to find in the village since it stands right opposite the Church of Sv. Jurij, while the new building with apartments and rooms is about one hundred meters away in the middle of a beautifully arranged farmyard with a large parking area. The old house contains an old farm room furnished with items from the 18th century.The hosts offer their guest all types of meat and dried meat products, minced lard, milk and dairy products—a specialty is their fruit milk shake—and for breakfast, fired eggs with homemade cracklings are the best.Guests enjoy exploring the Bled and Bohinj regions: in summer they swim in Lake Bled or Lake Bohinj, hike around Pokljuka and other peaks, and bicycle, while in winter they ski and skate on an indoor rink, and there is a sled run behind the house.

The Ročnjek farm is located in Gorjuše, on the fringes of the Pokljuka Plateau where man and nature still coexist in harmony with one another. The farm that strives to preserve the characteristic Slove-nian rural architecture offers modern rooms or apartments. They also offer common-use amenities: a lecture hall, kitchen with a wood-fired bread oven for bread baking, a dining hall and a gym with saunas. They prepare homemade food cultivated in the traditional way at the farm.They are always happy to see children visit the farm as they offer an active vacation in nature, whereby children are either accompanied by their parents or stay at the summer camp on their own. The hosts always strive to show children the advantages of living in the countryside. Guests can take part in various farm chores that they learn to perform in courses organised at the farm (hammering of a scythe, moving with a scythe in the traditional way, bread baking, etc.). The proprietors love to organise guided tours of the entire Triglav national Park as well as skiing and Nordic skiing courses in wintertime. The outstanding position of the farm allows tourists to visit striking natural features (Bled, Bohinj, Pokljuka, Julian Alps, etc.) in a relatively short period of time either on foot, by bicycle or car. This will allow you to disconnect from the “crazy world” for a day or two, or maybe even more.

At the edge of the village of Studor on an elevation that offers a beautiful view of the Bohinj region and the surrounding hills stands the Pri Andreju tourist farm. The farmhouse and the 200-year-old but beautifully preserved kozolec (hayrack) are built in the characteristic Bohinj style. There is always plenty of milk, milk products, eggs, vegetables, and guests can prepare their own meals in the apartment or visit a restaurant in the surrounding area.It is only two kilometers from the farm to Lake Bohinj, which warms up enough in summer to provide pleasant swimming. The area around the lake and the village of Studor is made for mountain hikes and bicycling tours. In winter, it is only seven kilometers to the groomed ski trails of the Kobla ski center and a kilometer farther to the Vogel ski center, while Bohinjska Bistrica, only seven kilometers away, offers a vast network of cross-country ski trails. Throughout the year, Bohinjska Bistrica’s Waterpark is open, where along with swimming pools in a very beautiful set-ting, sauna, fitness, massage, and other wellness facilities are also available.

The farm is situated in one of Slovenia’s most beautiful villages on the sunny side of Karavanke Mountains with a view of the Julian Alps.At the Pr’ Potovčn’k farm, they boast that they prepare medicinal herbs that cure even the most stubborn problems, and the father is especially proud on his selection of liqueurs and brandies, which he bottles elegantly for you to take home.They will gladly take you on a tractor ride to the nearby mountain pasture or invite you to join them in haymaking. If you are inclined toward mountaineering, you can climb the nearby peaks in the Julian Alps (Mount Triglav) and the Karavanke Mountains (Mount Kepa). nature lovers can seek out peace and quiet in the Vrata and Krma valleys, while bicycling enthusiasts can ride to Kranjska Gora and Planica or through the Radovna Valley to Lake Bled.

The homestead is located in Zgornje Jezersko, in the vicinity of the lake of Planšarsko jezero. The Šenk homestead, the main edifice of which is thought to have been built in 1517, is an outstanding architectural marvel and has as such been protected as a cultural monument of national importance since 1949. The hosts have enormous respect for natural and cultural heritage, which they strive to transpose into their culinary menu, which they have designed taking into account the rich shepherding tradition. A traveller, mountaineer or nature enthusiast will be served a masunjek, a hearty buttery porridge with sour milk, lamb sausages, Koroška-style buckwheat žganci with sauerkraut and similar homemade dishes, while they like to spoil the visitors with a sweet tooth a little with a flancati fried pastry, cottage cheese štruklji (rolled dump-lings) and buhtlji (sweet yeast dough rolls) filled with homemade jam. All those who appreciate homemade food can fill their sacks with eggs, homemade jams and liqueurs. You can stay at wonderful apartments, rent a shepherd’s cabin or simply pitch a tent and become one with breath-taking nature. The owner, Drejc, designs very interesting leisure time programmes suitable for all ages and seasons. The nearby peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps beckon those who are mountaineers at heart. If you fancy, you can take a trip on horseback. During the summer, children can spend their vacation at the equestrian camp, the kid’s nature camp, or experience the might of nature in the company of their parents. Another option is for the whole family to simply let go and enjoy the tranquillity, far removed from the noisy, fast-paced world.

The Rekar farm, whose old house boasts an ancient “black kitchen,” offers a beautiful panoramic view over Mount Kriška gora, Mount Triglav, Jamnik, Lesce, and Radovljica.The farm, which has a certificate for organic farming, breeds fallow deer. The hostess is a very skillful cook and will delight you with her venison goulash, stuffed rabbit, roast veal, deer and veal steaks, and rabbit pâté as well as with her excellent mushroom soup, žganci, štruklji, masovnik, and originally prepared vegetable dishes.The farm is an excellent starting point for ascents to the surrounding hills and mountains. Javornik, Konjuščica, Stegovnik, Storžič, Kriška gora, the Storžič mountain lodge, etc., all invite you to climb to their tops. If you wish, you can go bird watching or discover the ever new and interesting world of wild animals. When the first snow falls, a sled ride in the moonlight is an unforgettable experience.

Not far from Tržič is the village of Potarje where the Meglič family lives ,and spoils guests with food prepared with plenty of time and traditional cooking methods. They bake bread at home and look after vegetarians as well.Guests can rent bicycles, sleds, and skis on the farm (the Zelenica ski center beside Ljubelj Pass is the closest), and hiking enthusiast will come into their own in the nearby mountains of Konjščica, Javornik, Košuta, Kriška gora, Stegovnik, and Storžič. Another interesting destination is the Dolžan Gorge, a site of fossils from the Permian period, the last period of the Paleozoic era, of world importance to researchers of the earths past.

The Jeglič family has been managing the Matijovc tourist farm in Podbrezje for ten generations. The family chronicles have the year 1657 inscribed next to the householder, Jurij. The mighty stone edifice has been renovated many times, but has retained most of its features that are characteristic of the architecture of Gorenjska. Even in centuries past, the farm was known primarily for fruit cultivation, while over the last thirty years, it has made its name through the integrated production of fruit and vegetables as well as integrated agriculture. The orchards yield delicious apples, pears, plums, cherries and walnuts that are processed into juice, vinegar, Poire William brandy as well as other brandies and liqueurs. All products have received the highest awards in competitions at home and abroad. Guests here can enjoy apartments furnished in a contemporary style as well as numerous natural and cultural attractions. Vacationing at the farm is characterised by a peaceful and tranquil natural environment, the possibility of walking and running on hiking trails leading through forests, mountaineering and ascents to the nearby mountain peaks of the Karavanke Mountain Range. Bicycle routes pass by the farm and take the visitors on a journey where they can discover the rich natural and cultural heritage while coexisting in harmony with nature. Younger visitors will be amused by domestic animals: goats, rabbits, a dog and a cat. The hosts will be happy to show those more curious visitors the farm and its surround-ings as well as the more than 500-year-old Tabor, an anti-Turk fort, with a small church.

There are only six houses in the village of Zapreval where the Žgajnar farm is situated, and the villagers treat all the guests of the Žgajnars as they would their own. The 200-year-old farmhouse commands a wonderful view of the Kamnik Alps. The evening’s activities include sing-alongs, and the Žgajnars love to tell their guests stories and legends of days gone by or teach them herbal lore. The meat, milk products, and vegetables that go into Mrs. Žgajnar’s excellent dishes such as štruklji, spiced beef, vegetable soups, etc., are all produced on the farm, as are the beverages served with the meals. The farm has a garden with a pool and playground for children. In the winter the guests can ski on the nearby slopes of Stari vrh. Guests can go hiking in the mountains or visit the nearby medieval town of Škofja Loka. Two highlights of the summer are Charcoal Burner’s Day, which takes place on the first Sunday in August, and Lacemaking Day, which takes place in Železniki every year at the end of June.

The Boštjanovc farm with tourist apartments is situated in the idyllic village of Hotavlje, at the foot of the magnificent Mt. Blegoš. The owners keep cows, chickens and horses on the farm, among other reasons also because they are aware of the fact that guests appreciate homegrown food and farm products. During their stay on the farm guests can thus buy meat, eggs, potatoes and seasonal vegetables grown on the farm. If you would like to learn how to bake bread, your hospitable hosts will be happy to invite you to their kitchen and prepare it together with you. All those who enjoy outdoor cooking can use the outside grill. The farm offers accommodation in modernly-equipped apartments. Farm guests also have at their disposal a swimming pool and a children’s playground. The farm is an excellent starting point for all those who opt for farm holidays in order to discover the beauties of Slovenia. Places of interest in the vicinity include Lake Bohinj, Lake Bled, the beekeeping museum in Radovljica, Ljubljana, Škofja Loka, Postojnska jama, Cerkno, wartime hospital Franja, Idrija... There are also many interesting sights in the vicinity of the farm that you can explore on foot or on one of the many picturesque cycling trails, which could be a great outdoor adventure for families with children. Spring is a good time for fishing in the nearby rivers.

The farm lies by the Poljanska Sora river, close to the mansion that once belonged to Dr Ivan Tavčar, the author of what is undoubtedly the most beautiful romantic novel in Slovene, Cvetje v jeseni (Blossoms in Autumn), and is open all year round. The farm is ideal for all who wish to spend their holidays in the peace and quiet of the unspoilt natural surroundings of the Poljanska Dolina valley. Accommodation is available in four modern apartments, two in the attic of the new building and two in the old granary (the farm once boasted a mill and a sawmill). Bicycles and canoes are available for hire, for a trip down the river Sora. Paddling down the Poljan-jska Sora, which flows past the apartments just a stone’s throw away, is a unique experience. The apartments are also a good base for those who enjoy hillwalking (the nearby Škofja Loka Hills), cycling, fishing and hunting, skiing (the nearby ski centres of Stari Vrh and Cerkno), ski touring (on the slopes of Porezen), climbing at climbing centres, and nature trails. And don’t forget to visit the Tavčar Mansion, today a protected cultural monument.

The farm lies not far from the old town centre of medieval Škofja Loka. Next to the old farmhouse dating from 1786 stands a brand-new accommodation building, built in 2008, for the needs of farm tourism. Guests on the farm can choose between accommodation in modern rooms or apartments that are also suitable for disabled guests and families with children. You can relax in a small wellness centre complete with sauna and whirlpool bath.The farm is an excellent base from which to discover the charms of Škofja Loka. If you visit Škofja Loka and the surrounding area with the farm owner as your guide, you will learn far more than you would otherwise. She will be happy to organise guided visits to the surrounding area or further afield or to arrange a seminar (notice required).The area around the farm offers plenty of opportunities for active leisure: themed routes, hiking and cycling trails, fishing, skiing at ski resorts and numerous other activities. Crngrob, Križna Gora and Lubnik are all worth a visit, while in winter there is the nearby ski centre of Stari Vrh. The farm can also be a base for visits to Ljubljana, Bled and other interesting destinations around Slovenia.

The tourist activity of the Dolenc family started three decades ago when they furnished the first guest rooms in the 170-year-old farmhouse where the family of the writer Ivan Tavčar once lived. While this house was replaced several years ago with a new, modern house built to satisfy the needs of the contemporary guest, it remains similar to the old one and includes elements of the old architecture. A ceiling from the venerable year 1799, stone portals, and two 200-year-old frescoes. The farm offers mostly homegrown food.

The Rogar farm is the highest tourist farm in Slovenia. Situated beside a forest at an altitude of more than 1,200 meters, in fair weather it offers a panorama that reaches the Kamniške-Savinjske Alps with Mount Raduha in the foreground.Among their kitchen specialties they emphasize various cured-meat products, lamb, cottage cheese štruklji, and for dessert, blueberry strudel. Vegetarians are also well looked after.Peace, fresh air, and beautiful scenery are abundant at the farm. Medicinal herbs and wild mush-rooms wait for visitors to pick them in the meadows and the forest. The charming Church of Sv. Duh is only a ten-minute walk from the farm, and it is about four kilometers to a refreshing spring of mineral water where you will find a small pot to scoop up the metallic-tasting water. On your way to Mt. Olševa you can stop by at the Potočka Zijalka cave, the first Paleolithic site discovered in Slovenia.

This farm below Potočka Zijalka and Olševa lies at a height of 1,235 metres above sea level, in the midst of unspoilt nature, and is the highest-lying agritourism farm in Slovenia.Appetising smells waft from the farmhouse kitchen all year round and the entire family are herb and mushroom experts.

On the weekends, the farmhouse comes alive as visitors gather around tables to relish delights such as homemade bread and cold cuts, upper-savinjski zelodec and the hostess prepares tasty žlinkrofi (a type of potato ravioli) and štruklji. Guests can also quench their thirst with delicious homemade juices. With advance notice, they also prepare lunches for groups. The attractive valley offers numerous possibilities for walks as well as real mountain touring in the Kamniške-Savinjske Alps.

As they have plenty of room for day visi-tors, they offer an excellent lunch menu, including vegetarian meals.

Her cuisine takes its cues from traditional Slovenian cuisine and highlights the local culinary specialties and seasonal dishes. In the spring, plates are laden with dan-delion and wild garlic dishes, while in the summer guests can enjoy fresh vegetables from the garden accompanied by meat produced at the farm or trout.

They are especially happy to see families with children come to the farm, as the little ones can play on the playground or help feed the many farm animals. Because the farm lies at the centre of Solčavsko, where three magnificent alpine val-leys meet, it would be a cardinal sin not to don your hiking boots or mount a bicycle and discover the beauties of the valleys of Logarska dolina, Robanov kot and Matkov kot, all of which offer numerous possibilities for actively spending your free time in any season.

They now offer one double room and one room with several beds, an extra bunk and a kitchen niche making it possible for guests to prepare their own meals. The Plaznik family ascribe great importance to the education of young people, which is why they have prepared two interesting programmes: “How are Dairy Products Made?”, within the scope of which children take part in the activities in the cowshed and subsequently learn how fresh milk is processed into the end product – yoghurt, cheese, etc.; and the “Organic Farming” programme, in which they learn the basics of organic farming through active participation in farm chores (feeding of ani-mals, different chores in the fields and on the meadows, gathering herbs, etc.). During your stay, the hosts will organise trips for you, such as one to the Topla Landscape Park and the Smrečnik tourist farm, etc. You can walk to Mount Peca yourself or visit the town of Črna na Koroškem. You can also simply discover the natural beauty of the surroundings on your own.

In the middle of Stranice, next to the church and a chapel and not far from the forest, is the Arzenšek farm. This is a genuine farm with horses, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, and bees. It’s a real little zoo that city children marvel at, and the farm is especially full in summer with return-ing guests. Meat, milk, and vegetables are produced on the farm, the bread is homemade, and everything is complemented with homemade wine and blackberry brandy. The pumpkins are a specialty: in compotes, stewed, roasted, in pies . . . With so many animals, there is always enough work to join in on the farm.

The farm’s location is a good starting point for visiting the nearby thermal spas (Terme Banovci, Moravske Toplice, etc.), a mill on the Mura River or a walk along a forest study trail leading along the branches of the Mura River with standing water. The farm also has bicycles for rent.

Vinotoč Urisk lies on a plateau surrounded by vineyards at the foot of the Goričko nature Park and offers a marvellous view of the Prekmurje region. Its two-hundred-year-old wine cellar is the oldest in Prekmurje and the winery epitomises the idyllic Prekmurje way of life. If you want to taste excellent wines and discover the flavours of Prekmurje cuisine, a visit to the winery is an excellent idea. Dishes such as pereci, flat cakes, gibanica (Prekmurje’s famous layer cake) and zlevanka contain a wealth of flavours. You are welcome to take part in grape-harvesting and St Martin’s Day celebrations. You can even help with the work in the vineyard, or go mushroom-picking. The winery also organises presenta-tions of local crafts including creative workshops at which you can learn how to make things from plant fibres or the basics of embroidery, carving, decorating Easter eggs, etc. The winery is an excellent base from which to visit nearby Lake Bukovnica and its “energy points”. Also worth a visit is Dobrovnik – Slovenia’s only tropical garden, boasting an enormous variety of orchids. In summer and winter alike, a visit to the spas of Moravske Toplice or Lendavske Toplice can be balm for a tired body and spirit.

The Lipič Passero Estate in the village of Tešanovci, at the foot of the Goričko hills, is an excellent base from which to set out on your discovery of the riches of Prekmurje. You will truly feel at home in the pleasant holiday apartments on the typically designed Prekmurje homestead. The young and highly devoted members of the Passero family swear by tradition, quality homemade food and sincere hospitability. Guests and passers-by are pampered with a diverse culinary menu. You should try their “Joys of Prekmurje” (Radosti Prekmurja) traditional meat products, such as Prekmurje ham, meat from a bucket, pâtés and sausages, characteristically flavoured spreads, pumpkin seed oil, homemade bread and juices, brandies and award-winning wines that are offered on the shelves of a small store operating on the homestead. The vineyard with a wine shop is located on the edge of the estate. On weekends, special occasions and for prearranged visits, they will lay the table with an opulent spread for you. You can also indulge your desire for desserts that will, of course, be characteristic of Prekmurje. These include gibanica layered cake, posolanka cottage cheese flat cake or pralines from their countryside chocolate shop. You can round off your comfortable and relaxed vacations in the village by either taking part in group farm work, bread baking, grape harvesting or visiting the thermal spas at the nearby Moravske Toplice. Prekmurje is yours for the taking when you visit the Passero Estate. Welcome.

At the end of an idyllic valley, surrounded by vineyards and a small deciduous forest, stands the Pudvoi Tourist Farm in Stara vas in Bizeljsko.The hostess, an excellent cook, makes the traditional Bizeljsko buckwheat cake in the bread oven as well as many other delicious dishes. At the farm you can also taste high quality wines, home-made brandy, apple cider, fruit, and fruit juices.Along with the old farm, the Ogorevc family acquired two repnicas used by the previous owner to store produce and fruit. Since repnicas, caves dug into siliceous sand for storing crops, are a natural attraction of the Bizeljsko region, your first adventure awaits you right on the farm. Today the Ogorevcs have three repnicas. The one they dug themselves is connected to the cellar and is used to store homemade bottled wines. In this land of sandy soil there are also many other sights that invite you to visit: the Nujčev oak tree, Bizeljsko Castle, the Brežice Regional Museum, other repnicas, the Istenič champagne cellar, and much more. They can also take you swimming at the Čatež or Olimia thermal spas.

The sparkling wine cellar of the Istenič family is located in Stara vasa in Bizeljsko, right next to the Croatian border. It lies in an idyllic location surrounded by hills, where many vineyards bathe in the Sun. The Istenič family was the first private producer of sparkling wine during the time of the former Yugoslavia and was already at that time making wine according to the classical method. Later, they developed this activity into a successful form of wine tourism, which they still pursue and nurture to this day. They devote a lot of attention to the culture of drinking sparkling wine, which they present to guests in words and in tastings. They serve their guests excellent wines with homemade cold cuts and will, by prior arrangement, even prepare warm dishes according to the Bizeljsko region’s culinary tradition. With the help of top level culinary experts, the family has linked the sparkling wines and wines with gastronomy, which is why their proprietary balsamic vinegar is a sort of logical continua-tion of the search and simultaneously the establishment of a comprehensive chain of products that round off their viticultural and tourist products. Guests can stay at the Istenič family farm in six deluxe rooms. They can take to Bizeljsko Castle, the Slomšek Museum or the thermal spas of Terme Čatež, Rogaška Slatina or Terme Olimia by bicycle, on foot or by car.

Just a stone’s throw from the main road and you will find yourself in a quiet little valley with a murmuring brook, surrounded by forests, where the Šeruga family will offer you their warm hos-pitality. You will be dazzled by their enthusiasm for their work, by the enchanting natural setting, by the natural materials used throughout the property, by lovingly prepared food that follows the tradition of our ancestors. All the food is grown in a way that is nature-friendly and also friendly to people. This is the true attraction of the farm: the Šerugas live their lives with love towards nature, towards their guests and towards themselves. The biggest reward for the owners is the satisfaction of their guests, but the farm has also received several prominent awards for architecture, gastronomy and maintaining tradition. In 2001 the farm was accepted in the elite association of Houses of Tradition and is recommended in all major tourist guides.

The Domen tourist farm is next to Toplica stream, between Otočec and Šmarješke Toplice, about halfway between Ljubljana and Zagreb.It offers its resident and non-resident guests selected home-made food characteristic of Dolenjska and the wider area, including štruklji, duck, bread rolls, strudel and blood sausages.It is open to non-resident guests on Saturdays and Sundays, to groups by prior arrangement, while resident guests are served breakfast and an evening meal. For larger groups, it is possible to organise picnics in the countryside or by the vineyard cottage, tennis or football tournaments, mushroom picking, cycling excursions, trips along the valley of castles, balloon rides or sightsee-ing tours of local archaeological and ethnological attractions, galleries and museums. While on holiday, children will especially enjoy being in the company of horses, ducks, geese and other farmyard animals.In 2011, they began renovating rooms at the farm, which is why they prefer that you book your stay in advance.

Once, when Šentjernej was a strong center for manufacturing pottery, a rooster was impressed on the bottoms of dishes, and in its memory a statue stands today in the village. On the Pr’ Mar-tinovh farm you will encounter this Šentjernej beauty in the farmyard where he keeps company with numerous other farm animalsThe farm, on which a five-member family lives, is five kilometers from Šentjernej, the same from Otočec, and a little farther from the Carthusian monastery in Pleterje, the Šmarjske Toplice Health resort, Novo mesto, and Kostanjevica na Krki. When guests return from swimming or excursions, culinary delicacies prepared exclusively from homegrown produce wait for them on the table.

The Drča family farm is situated in a small village of the same name, on a hill under the mighty Gorjanci mountain range. The farm is on a secluded location, surrounded by vineyards on one side and by a forest on the other. All five members of the Drča family will delight you with their hospitality. The hosts like to point out that they will pour their guests only the best wine and are also known to cook a deli-cious roast suckling pig or lamb in the outside fireplace. In winter, guests particularly appreciate their homemade sausages and other meat products that are a staple of the menu throughout the year. The hostess will be happy to provide vegetarian meals as well. Guests who decide to visit the farm can also join the hostess in cooking all these wonderful dishes, and if you visit the farm in autumn, you can join in grape harvesting as well as collecting and roasting chest-nuts. If you wish, you can go for a ride in an old-fashioned cart drawn by beautiful Lipizzaner horses. The farm is an excellent starting point for visiting Pleterje Carthusian monastery and the nearby thermal resorts (Šmarješke Toplice, Terme Čatež, Dolenjske toplice).

If you like isolated farms offering wonderful views of the surrounding countryside, then a visit to the Na Meji open farm is an excellent choice. The farm lies on the edge of the Pivka Basin and you will immediately be enchanted by the marvellous view of Pivško polje and Nanos. The farm is renowned for its traditional home cooking. Dishes include stews and hotpots, jota, minestrone, kolhlrabi, potatoes and home-made bread. The farmer, Marko, is a connoisseur of medicinal plants and herbs, which he uses to make herbal liqueurs and other interesting beverages. Particular attention is paid to beekeeping, which means that honey, honey brandy and mead are available for you to take home with you. The farm is ideal for families with children. Children can play on the playground equipment and explore the farm and the surrounding area. Bicycles are available for hire – you can use them to explore the surrounding area. One special adventure organised by the farm is watching bears in their natural habitat. The farm is an excellent starting-point from which to visit Sv. Trojica, Snežnik, the Javorniki forests, Postojna Cave, the Military History Park and the intermittent lakes of the Pivka district. In 2010 the tourist farm “Na meji” was declared the most beautiful tourist farm in the three-apple category. They have arranged a space for camping and saunas on the farm.

The homestead that is surely one of the most beautiful on the outskirts of the Škocjan Caves Park lies at the end of Škoflje village, i.e. on top of a hill above a large unroofed cave along which runs the Reka River. From the farm you can enjoy a wonderful view of the valley with Vremščica, and all the way to Snežnik. Guests on the farm will have the chance to sample some of the typical dishes of the Brkini district: jota, potato dumplings, goulash etc. A stay on the farm gives you the chance to experience the peace and tranquillity of unspoilt nature. The farm is ideal for families and for groups seeking a different way of life. For groups, the farm offers special premises for socialising and group activities. A campsite next to the river with modern sanitary facilities offers you the chance to camp in the midst of unspoilt nature. An island in the middle of the river is a wonderful place for picnics and evenings round the campfire. Part of the campsite is used for summer camps. Those with horse-riding skills can use the farm horses to explore the surrounding area. The farm lies on the edge of the Škocjan Caves Park, a World Heritage Site, and you can also visit many other very interesting karst caves. You can also visit the Kras region, the Slovenian Coast or the Italian Trieste, which will take you less than half an hour by car.

Vremska Dolina is a valley lying at the point where the Karst, the coastal region and the hilly Br-kini district meet. In the centre of the valley, at the top of a hill beneath which the river Reka has carved out its channel, lies Vremski Britof – a small, peaceful village with a wonderful view of the Brkini Plateau to the south and Vremščica to the north. The Janko Farm is just three kilometres from the entrance to the Škocjan Caves and other nearby caves include Divača Cave, Vilenica and Postojna Cave.Accommodation is in modern apartments, and your hosts will ensure that no-one who decides to visit Vremski Britof and their farm has time to be bored. All the members of the family are intimately acquainted with the Karst and the surrounding area, and with the history and customs that go with them. You might want to visit Lipica for the golf course or the famous stud farm, or explore the caves mentioned above, or visit the gorge at Školj. The foot of Vremščica is popular with cyclists while Snežnik, Nanos and Slavnik are all popular destinations for hikers. At the Gabrk sports airfield you can try parachuting or take a flight in a glider or light aircraft.

Situated in the middle of meadows only ten kilometers from the spectacular Postojna Cave and thirty kilometers from the Lipica Stud Farm (home of the Lipizzaner horse) and the Škocjan Caves, the Dolenc farm is the ideal place to go if you like mountains and caves. Children can play in the barn, enjoy the swings, and run freely in the meadows. The farm’s food specialties include mushroom dishes, gnocchi, homemade meat products, and various traditional pastries; and to work up a healthy appetite, you can wander in the nearby woods along quiet forest paths gather-ing berries and mushrooms, explore the countryside on bicycle or horseback, go swimming in the nearby river, or in winter ski or go sledding on nearby hills. In addition to Postojna Cave, there are many small, lesser known caves to explore.Nearby woods, settled bicycle and walking paths invite you also.

Their specialty are sparkling wines to which Štefan, the host, pays particular attention. The farm is an excellent starting point for exploring the beauties of Goriška Brda. The hosts organize tours of their wine cellar with wine tasting and a demonstration of opening a bottle of sparkling wine using a special sword. They will be happy to invite you to go trekking with donkeys to the nearby Sabotin hill or to organize a night walk with torches. The proximity of nature and of a murmuring stream near the farm will make sure that you will forget your everyday problems and unwind for a while.

The Malovščevo Farm which lies in the village of Vitovlje surrounded by vineyards and forest, was the first open farm in the Goriška region and has long been famous for its homely welcome.A visit to the farm is a wonderful gastronomic experience that will tantalise your taste buds with the specialities of the Vipava area, marvellously complemented by a fine selection of wines. Specialities include home-cured ham dried in the Bora, the wind that blows across the Vipava, salami, home-made bread, minestrone, barley soup, genuine Vipava jota with sausage and ribs, omelettes, gnocchi, bleki, goulash, polenta with ham, and side dishes and vegetables typical of this region. Those with a sweet tooth can try apple, plum and peach strudels, cheese strudel and other desserts. Activities for guests include guided tours of the wine cellar with wine-tastings, grape-picking and the selection of the Queen of the Grape Harvest, St Martin’s Day celebrations. Visitors can also set off to visit the church on a solitary hill above the village of Vitovlje, or walk the Vitovlje Trail. Also interesting are walks down country lanes, through vineyards and over fields, to a beautiful lake called Vogršček.

The typical Vipava Valley house of the Cigoj family, with its sleek white arches and stone portal built in 1811, is the oldest in Črniče. True to the age of the house, the Cigojs delight in serving their guests traditional, almost forgotten Primorska dishes such as pork filet stuffed with pršut (prosciutto) and wrapped in grape leaves, rabbit with Polenta, fried salami in wine sauce, and a variety of Vipava štruklji, strudels, or dumplings, all accompanied by their award-winning wines. Children, however, are usually more impressed by the pony rides. Many of the sights in the area such as the Tabor archeological site, the old Huhov mill, an Austrian cemetery, and the reservoir are only a short walk away through the typical karst landscape. The Postojna and Škocjan caves, the Lipica stud farm, and the medieval town of Štanjel are all within an easy driving distance, as are the Soča River and the pilgrimage site of Sveta Gora with its breathtaking view. Guests can also participate in grape picking or winemaking and stay overnight in the newly refurbished guestrooms.

Already a quick glance at the valley will reveal to the traveler that this is a wine producing region. The Vipava wine road goes across the Vipava valley and past the Birsa farm, a farm with a long winemaking tradition. However, the farm is not only known for its excellent wines, but the Birsas are also known as friendly hosts who like to treat their guests to delicious, home cooked dishes, among which various meat dishes (roast suckling pig and lamb, different roasts, sausages, cured meat) are most sought after. Of course, there are also plenty of gnocchi, jota, vegetable stews and much more. Those of you who have a sweet tooth will love their delicious kremne rezine (custard slices), strudel, štruklji... A visit to the farm will become a special experience if you combine it with wine tasting in the company of your host Oskar, who tends to his vineyard all year round with great care and attention. The Birsa farm, which offers accommodation in lovely rooms or apart-ments, is a great starting point for exploring the surroundings of Vipava.

Surrounded by the beautiful nature of Goriška brda you will find the Šibav family farm, whose own-ers have for generations given special attention to viticulture. The locals like to say that grape vines and wine are their greatest love. The family works in the vineyard all year round. The wines they produce, which you can taste and buy, are of the highest quality, since the Šibavs base their winemak-ing methods on their experience, time-tested traditions as well as modern technology. No cooked dishes are offered on the farm, but the hosts will be happy to offer you their cured meat products that accompany their high-quality wines in a harmonic way. If you so desire, the hosts will organize wine tasting for you. They will not forget to mention that their white wines are character-ized by cold maceration, aging and a longer period of keeping it on lees. Red wines, on the other hand, are produced by classic maceration – hand mixing. Both red and white wines age in classic oak and acacia barrels. The farm has two rooms (2+2 beds) and offers overnight stay with breakfast. The farm’s location makes it an excellent starting point for exploring the Goriška brda region. Interesting sights in the vicinity are the nearby natural bridge Krčnik and Korada, a hill suitable as a hiking goal. You can also set out by bike or by car and thus make your sightseeing even easier.

In eastern Goriška Brda in the village of Snežatno, guests are welcomed by a monument to ancient Brda architecture: the Štekar homestead, which according to church records was built around 1771.The restored buildings overlook the vineyards and cherry orchards in the surroundings and attract guests for whom the hostess prepares selected Brda dishes ranging from Friuli-Venezia Giulia’s frtalja (an omelet rich with herbs) to Brda’s mineštra (a thick soup) and dishes in which you can taste the spices and vegetables of the season. Roman Štekar looks after the vineyards and the wine cellar where his top quality bottled wines are maturing (Rumena Rebula, Cabernet, Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot).Goriška Brda with its attractions is inviting in itself, particularly when the cherries and grapes are ripe, and the neighbouring areas are also full of interest. Guests can try their luck at Nova Gorica’s casinos and drive to visit Lokve, Sveta Gora, Štanjel, Kobarid, or even Venice.

An increasing number of farms in Slovenia are opting to develop specialised services in order to meet your holiday requirements and help make your choice easier. Experts from individual fields have drawn up compulsory conditions and selection criteria that must be met by farms wishing to obtain a specialised farm symbol. Since 2007 the symbols have been awarded by the Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry of Slovenia.
