Feel harmony with nature

Feel hospitality

Allow yourself to escape from your every-

day routine and surrender to the embrace

of green nature. he 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

Slovenia'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.

Slovenia is a small country full of diverse

experiences. he 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 ind 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 inest produce of their gardens

and ields, 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.

Soča

he coastal area and the Karst are co-

vered 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 gor-

ges with crystal-clear water, and the

characteristics of the landscape mean

that the traditions of mountaineering

and Alpine dairy farming are alive and

well here. Dolenjska is the land of Cvi-

ček wine, thermal springs and extensi-

ve forests and the region is also famous

for its traditional woodenware. Štajer-

ska is best known for its wide range of

ine wines and as a region that ofers

endless opportunities for recreation.

Koroška, the cradle of the Slovene nati-

on, also ofers a wealth of opportuniti-

es for mountaineering and hiking. he

river Mura, with its tradition of loa-

ting mills and lumber rafts, is a central

element of the Prekmurje region.

Wake up to the sound of cowbells and bird-

song and the smell of freshly-baked bread.

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 ofer

its own version of potica, a cake illed with

walnuts, poppy seeds, raisins, cream cheese,

herbs or even crackling. his wealth of entic-

ing aromas and lavours is complemented

by the white wines of the Štajerska region,

Cviček from Dolenjska or Teran from the

Karst. And to inish with, a drop of home-

made fruit brandy or delicious mead. Feel

the value of nature’s gifts and enjoy the gen-

uine lavours of home-made food and drink.
