FRIENDLY COUNTRYSIDE

www.slovenia.info

The diversity offered by the Slovenian countryside: use it to escape from your everyday

routine. Whether you choose a farm holiday or a wander through the rural environment,

discovering the beauties of nature. This contact with genuine folk culture and unspoilt nature

will touch your heart. You will relax and start to feel yourself again.

Taste the countryside

Listen to the whispering of the wind, stirring secret desires. See the treasures of untouched nature. Taste the variety of life at every step. Feel the beauty of limitless exploration, the exploration of love. Touch your essence. Feel. Feel Slovenia with all your senses. Experiences that follow the promptings of the heart.

We are happy to present our new tourist farm catalogue, in which you will find ideas and hints for visiting tourist farms across Slovenia. 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!

Friendly countryside

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 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.

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 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 fine wines and as a region that offers

endless opportunities for recreation. Koroška, the cradle of the Slovene nati-on, also offers a wealth of opportuniti-es for mountaineering and hiking. The river Mura, with its tradition of floa-ting mills and lumber rafts, is a central element of the Prekmurje region.

Friendly countryside

The Pri Plajerju farm stands near the forest on a terrace above the Soča River with a beautiful view of the valley and the mountains. In the evenings, you can sit outside and listen to the roar of the river and the murmuring of the wind while your hosts tell of the traditions and customs of the Trenta Valley. The Pretners raise sheep and goats, so you can enjoy mutton and kid dishes and try sheep and goat milk. They also have excellent salami, you can spread minced lard on bread, and vegetarian dishes are also available. Holidays along the Soča River are active holidays, and you can choose from hiking, mountain touring, climbing, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, whitewater rafting and kayaking, and paragliding–all in the immediate area of the farm. The Triglav National Park information center is only a kilometer from the farm, and the alpine botanical gardens are four kilometers away.

The Černuta tourist farm, which is also a typical dairy farm, is situated in the Koritnica river valley, under magnificent mountain peaks Mangart and Jalovec, offering a spectacular view of the nearby rock wall called Loške stene. The farm offers a variety of sheep's milk products such as different kinds of cheese and cottage cheese, and they also serve lamb dishes. The hosts can take you on a tour of their dairy. Accommodation is available in fully equipped modern apartments. Children can play in the playground or enjoy the company of cats and sheep, which are plentiful on the farm. The farm's location makes it ideal for those who enjoy peace and quiet as well as for those who prefer active holidays. You can hike in the Julian Alps, visit one of the many waterfalls in the vicinity or the fortresses of Predel and Kluže, sv. Višarje/Monte Lussari. If you come to the farm in winter, don't miss the adrenaline-packed sled run from Mt. Mangart, and you can also visit the nearby ski center across the border in Italy. A walk in snowshoes and backcountry skiing are also a lot of fun, but only for those who are in excellent shape.

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 immemorial. 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…

The Jelinčič farm is located away from the main road on a terrace above the Soča River near the village of Soča. The head of the family plays the zither and is an amateur artist who takes inspiration from the breathtaking surroundings, as does everyone who visits this special part of Slovenia. The barn holds 100 sheep and supplies the table with lamb and sheep milk, cheese, and cottage cheese. A specialty of the kitchen is freshly-caught trout prepared with sheep cheese, and dried meat products, salami, pancetta, ham, and baked potatoes with cottage cheese are among the many items on the menu. If fifteen guests or more are interested, they can learn the art of making cheese under the instruction of an expert. Active vacations in this region include hiking in the mountains, whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Soča River, hang gliding and paragliding, mountain biking, and in winter, of course, skiing. When there is enough snow in the valley, the small rope tow beside the house is activated, and one can ski on nearby Mount Kanin into the very late spring.

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.

At the edge of a village with a marvelous view of the Drežniško plateau and the surrounding peaks (Krn, Kanin, Matajur, Stol . . . ) lies a farm that is the home of Kranjc family. When they combine their knowledge and skills, they can tell guests much about the customs and traditions of the valley, and, of course, bring to the table the old traditional Drežnice dishes. The vicinity of the farm offers countless possibilities for excursions and sightseeing points of interest: you can enjoy the tourist trail through the Kosoška chutes, the Kobarid Historical Trail, numerous waterfalls, the homestead of the Slovene poet Simon Gregorčič, the World War I museum in Kobarid, the Zapikraj alpine meadow where milk is processed in the traditional manner . . . At the right times, you can participate in many events—the Drežnice Carnival is the best known—while sports enthusiasts and lovers of unspoiled nature and a healthy lifestyle will find pleasure here year round.

You will find the Pri Lovrču organic farm in the beautiful little village of Čadrag, which lies seven hundred meters above sea level surrounded by the Tolminsko hills in Triglav National Park. The farm produces milk that is turned into the local Tolminc cheese and into salty and sweet cottage cheese at the village cheese dairy where if you wish, you can watch the work being done. Along with cheese and cottage cheese you will definitely enjoy their pear brandy, cider, and must, all organically produced. All their products and produce carry the “Biodar” trademark. If you wish, you can also buy homemade cheese, fresh and salty cottage cheese, seasonal vegetables, pear brandy, and walnuts. You can spend a nice holiday or a relaxing weekend at the farm, which offers accommodation in 2 apartments. Upon previous agreement the owners can also serve you traditional lunch as prepared in the mountains around Tolmin. The farm can receive 60 dining guests in summer and 25 in winter. Beautiful nature invites you to visit Mount Razor, the source and chutes of the Tolminka River, Javorca, Kobarid, and many other places since the surrounding area is full of natural sights worth visiting.

In the village of Planina, by the regional road connecting Cerkno and Škofja Loka via the Kladje pass, stands a new house with modern double rooms, each with shower/WC and a balcony. Your hosts will serve you food produced and prepared on the farm, including vegetables, cured meat products, savoury strudels, cakes, jams, juices, herbal teas, brandy and liqueurs. Get to know the horses and donkeys on the farm, pick herbs, and sleep in the hay. The surrounding area offers many opportunities for mountaineering and hiking: Porezen, Blegoš, Bevkov Vrh, Kojca, Ermanovec, Škorje and Lajše are all worth visiting. Other interesting destinations in the area include the Divja Baba archaeological site, where a Neanderthal flute, the world's oldest musical instrument, was found, the Franja Partisan Hospital, and the mercury mine and museum in Idrija.

An asphalt road takes you to the top of a hill from where there is a beautiful view over the Soča Valley, the Cerkljansko mountain range, Baška grapa, the Julian Alps, Goriška Brda, and the Kanal hills. Here stands the secluded Široko tourist farm. Your hosts are a four-member family who will offer you pleasant overnight accommodation, homegrown farm food (their specialties include dried meat products and a wide variety of hot meals), and advice on how to best spend your free time. You can hike in the mountains, descend into caves and abysses, go paragliding and mountain biking, or join the hunters. In winter we recommend downhill skiing on Mount Kanin, cross-country skiing, and ski touring. The archeological site at Most na Soči, the Kobarid and Tolmin museums, Kozlov Rob, and more await your visit regardless of the season.

The village of Zakojca lies on the edge of the Primorska region on the border between the Tolmin and Cerkljansko regions high above the Baška grapa gorge on the slopes of Mount Kojca. On the edge of the village stands the Tušar family’s “Pri Flandru” farm. They work the farm in harmony with nature so there is no lack of homegrown food and items such as pršut (prosciutto), želodec, salami, sausages, bržola, minced lard, homemade bread, and other goodies from Marija’s kitchen. The Tušars love animals, and along with cows they also have horses suitable for riding and carriage rides. In addition to taking riding lessons and trail riding, guests can also enjoy skiing on the slope at the farm or at the nearby Cerkno ski center. In summer you can go bicycling, hike on Mount Kojko (1,303 m), Porezen (1,632 m), Črno prst, and Rodica, and enjoy fishing and hunting. The area is rich with natural and cultural points of interest to visit such as the Divje Babe archeological site, the Kobarid Museum, the Franja Partisan Hospital, the mercury mine and museum in Idrija, and many others.

You will find the farm in the village of Straža (also known as Želin) on the main Idrija–Tolmin road, by the confluence of two rivers, the Cerknica and the Idrijca. The farm is situated on a small plain, far from the noise of the road. It is an excellent starting point for day trips (Posočje, Goriška Brda, Postojna, Kras, Piran, Ljubljana, Bled, Bohinj) or short excursions into the nearby hills (Blegoš, Porezen, Kojca). It is also popular with anglers since the nearby Idrijca is a great source of enjoyment and relaxation. The nearby towns of Cerkno and Idrija and the surrounding area offer a variety of cultural, natural and historical sights of interest. In warm weather you can swim in the large pool next to the house, hire bicycles or play with your children in the meadow or on the playground equipment. In winter you can take advantage of the well-equipped Cerkno Ski Centre. Evening saunas and soaking in the massage tub are even more enjoyable after a hard day's skiing. The farm also offers numerous gastronomic delights. Home-made jams, honey, spreads of various kinds and fresh-baked bread will have your mouth watering even at breakfast. Excellent cured meat products, home-made sausages in the winter months, savoury strudels of various kinds, and also simple peasant dishes are available on the menu. Local speciality žlikrofi (a kind of ravioli) with various accompaniments are always available. The Želinc farm is also a member of the European "Houses of Tradition" network, whose symbol represents homeliness and tradition and a recognisable character within a complete infrastructure.

If we say that the farm lies within Triglav National Park, you can almost imagine it: among meadows 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 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.

Črni Vrh was once renowned for its cottage industries (barrel making, bucket making, woodenware), but now it is oriented toward tourism and farming. The Črni Vrh plateau is a popular excursion 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 . . .

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. The Notranjska and Logaška Mountain Footpath runs past the farm and there is a bicycle trail to the marshy Žejna dolina Valley where you can find a rare flesh-eating plant (Sundew). 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.

Friendly countryside

“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.

With its centuries-old tradition, the Repečnik farm is one of the oldest farms in Gorje; its main activity today is dairy farming. Wishing to present the beauty of country life to their guests, in 1993 the owners started receiving tourists in their wonderful Alpine-style house, boasting a portal stone dating from 1894, larch wood door and tuff window frames. The farm is situated on the outskirts of the old part of the village, near the main road connecting Bled and Pokljuka. It offers wonderful views of the Karavanke mountain range and nearby mountains, which hide a local gem, the picturesque Vintgar gorge. You can also see Bled castle and Mt. Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak. The owners keep cows, a riding horse, a dog, cats and chickens on the farm. Their guests can enjoy daily fresh milk and eggs, home grown vegetables, meat, dairy products and jams. Guests of the farm can enjoy bike rides in Bled and surrounding villages, the Radovna valley as well as across the Mežakla and Pokljuka plateau. Lake Bled is only some 1.5 km away, and it will take you five minutes by car to reach the center of the town of Bled and fifteen minutes to arrive to Pokljuka. The guests can also relax in nature surrounding the farm and enjoy snow sports and activities in winter. The farm has a big yard suitable for children's games and relaxing on the grass.

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.

Our farm stands on its own in the beautiful valley of Ravenska Kočna, on the edge of meadows and forests, with a wonderful view of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. We are surrounded by mountain peaks on three sides (Kočna, Grintavec, Dolgi Hrbet, Mlinarsko Sedlo, Babe, etc.), and these themselves keep our guests coming back to us time and time again. We make every effort to serve healthy, local food. Our table offers a wide choice of cereal-based, vegetable and meat soups, local meat (beef, lamb, game etc.) and meat products, milk, dairy products, polenta, savoury strudels… and fresh pastries every day. In the evenings we chat with our guests about the history of the area and local sights of interest and/or plan activities for the next day, such as: mountain tours, excursions, boating on a nearby lake (Planšarsko Jezero) or gathering medicinal herbs, picking currants, getting the hay in and so on. Non-smokers only.

Jezersko, which lies in a wide valley between the rocky Kamniške Alps and the forested Karavanke Mountains, is known as a mountain climate tourist resort. It is distinguished by its mild alpine air, clean and rich with ozone. The organic Malek Tourist Farm lies on a secluded and sunny site below imposing cliffs of Makekova Kočna. It has a rich tradition in tourism since it received its first guests in distant 1907. They offer accommodations in standard or luxuriously furnished rooms with a marvelous view of the Kamniške-Savinjske Alps. Fortified by goodies from the farm kitchen, you can hike through an unspoiled mountain environment and spend an unforgettable day visiting remarkable valleys, Planšarsko Lake, Ovčja koča, Češka koča, and Čedca, Slovenia’s highest-lying waterfall.

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 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 Poljanjska 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 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.

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.

The Ljubica farm owned by the Stanonik family is situated amid solitary meadows with a view of the Škofja Loka hills, the Karavanke Mountains, and the Julian Alps. The food, from the vegetables and milk and milk products to the meat and dried meat products, as well as the brandy, is all homemade.

Friendly countryside

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. Their culinary specialties are stews and štruklji, but they always cater to the needs and wishes of their guests. They make their own cottage cheese, butter, and jam, and bake their bread in the traditional open oven. You’ll also find homemade sausages and ham on the table, and father Pavle makes excellent brandy. In winter, most guests go skiing and sledding at the Stari vrh ski center, which is only 700 meters from the farm. In summer guests find peace and quiet walking along one of the marked paths or picking medicinal herbs in nearby Četena raven, while serious hikers can climb the Blegoš, Lubnik, Gora, Mladi vrh, and Stari vrh mountains. There are many trails for mountain biking as well as nearby tennis courts to enjoy.

The Podmlačan farm stands on a hill in the middle of meadows. The farm has existed for over 700 years and is still famous for producing everything at home, including bread. The food alone makes a visit to the Škofja Loka hills worthwhile. City children in particular will be amazed by how yellow the butter is, and time passes quickly beside the farm oven enjoying homemade sausages, minced lard, ham, brandy, and must. There are countless trails in the area where guests can walk or ride bicycles; they can also collect herbs and forest fruits, go fishing, and much more. In winter, there is skiing at the nearby Stari vrh ski center. Children can play in the barn to their heart's content, and the Debeljaks organize nature study field trips to nearby Jarčje Brdo as well as farm holidays for children who want to escape from their parents for a few days. For children there are many farm animals: cows, chickens, pigs, goats, a peacock . . .

The Pri Dovarju tourist farm is a perfect choice if you would like to experience mornings on a hilltop farm.

When you reach Cerklje, you drive toward Ambrož pod Krvavcem. You will find yourself at an alpine dairy farm on the Kriška planina ski slope just below the television repeater station on Mount Krvavec. The four members of the Grilc family are alpine herdsmen, shepherds, herb collectors, and hikers during the summer and during the winter they make sure that skiers have a good time. What can visitors expect on the table or in bags to take home? In summer: homemade bread, milk, cottage cheese, butter, cheese štruklji; in winter: homemade bread, salami, and dried sausages. Medicinal mountain herb tea is always available as well. At the farm, they roast young pig, young goat, and lamb over an open fire in the farm oven and prepare veal stew with buckwheat žganci (groats) and blood sausage or fried sausages with sauerkraut. Thus fortified, guests can easily ski or sled (ski equipment can be rented at the farm), and in summer conquer the nearby peaks (Veliki Zvoh, Dolge njive, Košutna, Kamniška Bistrica) on foot, on horseback, or on mountain bikes.

Friendly countryside

The Lavrič farm is situated atop a hill, with a view over the valley stretching all the way to the distant Kamniške Alps and Karavanke Mountains. The Lavrič home was once a gostilna where the gentry used to arrive from Ljubljana and Kranj in carriages, and today it is a favourite stopping place for people on outings and on holiday who appreciate good food made from home-grown vegetables, meat, and dairy products. At the foot of Repenjski hill lies the Repnje monastery built in 1870 and the church of St. Tilen, which was first mentioned in written sources in 1476 and contains a Gothic stone statue of the saint. Other places to visit include Repnje, the birthplace of Jernej Kopitar, author of the first Slovene grammar book, Smlednik Castle, and Zbilje Lake where rowboats are for hire. Or you can simply explore the beautiful countryside by bicycle or on foot. Very close is also ZOO (with deers, fallowe deers, mouflons and lamas) and the playground for children.

You will find apartments Hribar in Srednja vas pri Kamniku, a village in the Tuhinj valley. If you have chosen to spend your vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a holiday at the Pr' Ostan'k tourist farm is definitely the right choice. Guests do their own cooking, and they can buy farm products such as milk, potatoes, eggs and jam from their hosts. There is also a grocery store nearby. The apartments are suitable for families with children and for other guests. Children can have fun in the company of Tačko the dog, Črt the cat, Lili the rabbit or get to know other farm animals as well as life on the farm. The surroundings are suitable for cycling, walking on marked trails in the nearby hills, picking forest fruits… The apartments are only some two kilometers away from Eko Terme Snovik, a thermal spa. The attractive medieval town of Kamnik is also very interesting, as well as the healing grove in Tunjice near Kamnik and the Arboretum park in Volčji potok. Mountain lovers can head to Menina planina, or to the picturesque Velika planina. If skiing is your thing, the ski slopes of Krvavec are not far away…

The farm, which still today dedicates itself to broadening awareness of Slovenian traditions and customs, is on a hill with views across Ljubljana to the Kamnik-Savinja, Karavanke and Julian Alps. Visiting guests are served ox meat, štruklji, desserts and various other appetising treats, with vegetarians also catered for. You may also buy home-made brandies and liqueurs, apple juice, milk or dairy products on the farm. Your hosts will be happy to afford you an insight into the secrets of their culinary specialities. In addition, no offer to help around the farm will be turned down. In addition, there are opportunities for guided home-made brandy tasting. The farm's location entices nature lovers to explore, to view the nearby castles of Ostrovrhar, a millstone quarry and the confluence of three rivers. Those who enjoy discovering towns may look around Ljubljana, Kamnik or Grosuplje. Upon request, your hosts will organise a horse-drawn carriage ride to nearby Janče or a hot-air balloon ride. For an active holiday, the farm also features a climbing wall, as well as a basketball court and a football pitch. Visitors will find it extremely child-friendly as farm attractions include Maks the ram, Julka the sheep and Reks the dog.

If you need to forget the everyday, pack up your troubles, and give yourself a breath of fresh air, then the Pr' Soud excursion farm is the spot for you. Take a walk or picnic in still unspoiled nature, go horseback riding, and feast on freshly made home-baked bread and suckling pig grilled on the spit. Nearby, wander through the arboretum at Volčji Potok that displays around 3,500 different varieties of native and foreign plants. Visit Brdo Castle, the birthplace of Slovenia's famous writer Janko Kersnik, as well as other places of interest such as the towns of Kamnik and Kamniška Bistrica and Mount Velika Planina. Or simply enjoy the hospitality at the farm and return home laden with fresh ham, homemade sausages, and other delights.

Na Hribčku is one of only a handful of excursion farms in this region, so it's well worth remembering if you want to visit this part of Slovenia. Set on a small hill, a hribček, the farm has a lovely view of the Dolenjska hills and the mountains along the Sava River. Guests can go for walks and gather chestnuts, blueberries, and medicinal herbs in the beautiful surroundings. You can see the lights of Ljubljana twinkling by night from the top of Janče, an hour's walk from the farm. If you prefer to ride, bicycles can be borrowed from the farm. Janče is also where the annual strawberry and chestnut festival is held. Other celebrations that are fun to participate in include Carnival, the May First festival, and harvest time. After all these activities, it's nice to relax at the farm and enjoy a wholesome meal made with nothing but the freshest ingredients, including all meat and milk products, vegetables, and fruit. The freshly baked bread is made from wheat grown on the farm, and you can round the meal off with a glass of good wine or brandy.

The Juvanija farm is located in one of the most beautiful alpine valleys in Slovenia and has a magnificent view of the mountains. You will enjoy all sorts of meat and dairy products, everything that the farms of the upper Savinja Valley produce. Sausage, salami, savinjski zelodec, milk, cottage cheese, and cheese are the basic morning dishes, joined by hot meat and vegetable dishes in the evenings. Beside the house is a ski lift and a toboggan run, and hikes of various lengths are the most popular summer activity. The source of the Savinja River is a five-minute walk away, and a little longer walk takes you to the Rinka waterfall. Several hours will bring you to Mount Okrešelj, Mount Olševa, the Potočka zijalka cave, or the mountain lodge above Klemenča jama cave. You can also enjoy all the natural and cultural attractions of the Savinja Valley by car.

The Lenar tourist farm lies at the heart of Logarska valley, which is known as one of the most beautiful Alpine valleys in the world. The Logarska dolina nature park is the most visited part of the Solčava district, which received the prestigious title of "European Destination of Excellence". The Lenar tourist farm offers the following services: bed and breakfast, apartment rental, facility rental for larger groups to use for meetings or seminars, sleeping in the hay barn and horseback riding. Rooms and apartments have balconies or terraces, bathrooms, TV and internet access. The tourist farm has the status of an ecological farm and offers home-made products based on fruit and berries. Dairy and meat products for breakfast are delivered from nearby ecological farms. Buffet breakfasts are quite generous and tailored to the wishes of guests. The location of the Lenar tourist farm makes it an excellent starting point for hiking and climbing in the surrounding mountains, as well as hiking, jogging and cycling around the valley. In winter, there is a cross country skiing trail and a sledding slope (also by night) right next to the farm. The nearest ski lift is just 1 km away. The nearby tourist information office provides our guests with plenty of information on the area and the possibility of renting equipment for active holidays in a natural setting.

The Plesnik Tourist Farm is situated in Logarska dolina, one of Slovenia’s most beautiful valleys, and is surrounded by meadows at the foot of the Savinjske Alps. At the farm, which has a certificate for organic farming, you will be served various homemade delicacies. They are especially proud of their breakfasts and surprise their guests with platters offering homemade savinjski želodec, salami, cheese, jams, butter, and juices. They also offer delicious breakfasts for vegetarians. The Logarska dolina Valley and the surrounding peaks with their enchanting beauty and numerous possibilities for active holidays attract hikers, climbers, bicyclists, and everyone who loves nature.

Friendly countryside

The silence that surrounds the first farm in Matkov Kot, lying in a sunny meadow in the midst of mountain pastures and with a magnificent view of Matkov Kot and Mrzla Gora, is marvellously complemented by the sounds of a zither coming from the farmhouse. The Gradišnik Farm still exudes the atmosphere of an age that many have forgotten, while keeping one foot in the present. Your hosts on the farm are well-versed in the cuisine of the Upper Savinja Valley, which includes specialities such as stuffed pig's stomach, goulash and mushroom soup. Farm produce available to buy includes hand-knitted woollen socks, St John's wort oil and freshly laid eggs. Families with children are welcome and the farm has its own children's playground. Pets are also welcome. Bows and arrows are available for hire and archery lessons are available. Toboggans are available in winter. The farm is an excellent base for mountaineering enthusiasts. Nearby peaks include Raduha, Ojstrica, Planjava, Mrzla Gora and Okrešelj. Group activities include visits to the poacher's hut and a walk with the poacher, and visitors can also take part in excursions organised in conjunction with Logarska dolina d.o.o.

Farms situated as high as the Perk farm is above Logarska dolina have the mountains in the palm of their hand. There is plenty of fresh air and peace in abundance. Here you can spend a very active holiday or simply relax and enjoy the singing of birds and the silence of the mountain forests. The food on the farm is all produced at home: vegetables, meat, and dairy products. They serve meals typical for the region, including delicious dried meat products, of course, and the hostess makes dumplings and žlikrofi, all served homemade juices. Everyone who decides to spend a vacation in the Logarska dolina area does so because of the fresh air and the hiking, whether just a few steps from the farm or to make your way with a knapsack on foot or by bicycle into the heart of the Alps. In winter guests go skiing or sledging.

The Žibovt farm lies just three kilometers from the Pavličevo sedlo border crossing beside a panoramic road in the middle of meadows close to a forest with a wonderful view of the Savinjske Alps. The farmstead includes a new house built in the characteristic rural style of the area, an older house and farm outbuildings, a fruit dryer, a stone mill, and an old water-driven saw mill. An enormous old pear tree flourishes in the courtyard. The Poličniks are organic farmers, and everything they bring to the table is home grown. There is plenty of milk, so they also sell homemade cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, and sour milk. Guests in search of peace and closeness to nature can enjoy both in good measure, both those who are happy with a stroll in the immediate vicinity of the farm and those who put on hiking boots and a knapsack to spend a day in the mountains.

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. Guests staying on the farm – and passing travellers – can feast on excellent savoury strudels, hotpots, ravioli, cakes of various kinds, stuffed pig's stomach, masovnik (made with flour and cream) and other specialities. The farmer and his wife like to fill visitors' knapsacks with home-made cheese, cottage cheese, herbal teas, mushrooms and honey. Many animals live on the farm but children will be especially keen on Toba, Mira and Črni ("Blackie"), the farm cats, and Laika, the farm dog, all of whom get on very well with young visitors. The farm is an excellent starting-point for country walks or for climbing the nearby mountains. The famous archaeological site of Potočka Zijalka is just over an hour's walk away. Olševa, Raduha, Peca and other peaks of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps are popular with climbers. You must also be sure to visit one of the most beautiful valleys in Europe: Logarska Dolina. Rafting on the Savinja is a must in the summer months, while a paraglider flight is a real adrenaline-boosting adventure.

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 mushrooms 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.

You will find the Ramšak Tourist Farm standing by itself on a sunny plain at the foot of Mount Olševa. On the farm you will be pampered with organically-grown vegetables that are offered as a side dish with all their meals. They will also look after those who swear by traditional Slovene cooking and will offer you žlikrofi, štruklji, žganci, and other local dishes. Health food enthusiasts should not leave the farm without the milk products, medicinal herbs, home-dried fruit, fruit juices, teas, and jams that the family prepares with special pleasure. Your hosts promise you genuine contact with life on a Solčava farm, and nearby there are around thirty natural and cultural points of interest and several climbing and hiking trails for hikers and bicyclists (Mount Olševa, Mount Raduha, a visit to the ancient yew tree), which all invite you to visit them.

The Klemenšek farm is distinguished by its marvelous view of the valley and the surrounding peaks, but this is not the only way it differs from the neighbouring farms: the roofs of the farmhouse and the outbuildings are attractively covered with larch shingles. 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 žlikrofi (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. The most varied sport activities are possible on the farm, which also has two takeoff points for paragliding. For invited groups it is possible to show the farm and the collection of farm tools and also the multimedia presentation of the farm.

The sauna, solarium, and fitness studio you will find at the apartments will remind you that your hosts know how to see to your well being and comfort. There is also a small lake for swimming, fishing and skating in winter, a children's playground, and you can also rent bicycles, cross-country skis and snowmobiles on the farm. When you set out for a walk in the nearby forest or sit on a bench by the fishpond with a beautiful view over the forests and meadows, you will be charmed by the music of nature and forget your everyday worries. If you like spending your holidays actively, you will be happy to take a ride on a snowmobile or visit the Golte Ski Center, which is only five kilometers from the farm. Others will enjoy visiting the Mozirski gaj Botanical Park, Logarska dolina Valley, Nazarje, Velenje, Topolšica, and on the way discover other interesting places and natural sights or just peaceful and quiet spots to relax.

Below Mount Peca right on the Slovene-Austrian border beside the Reht border crossing stands the Reht tourist farm. The view opens to Mount Uršlja gora, Pliberško polje, and Austrian ski centers. You will recognize the farm by the venerable linden tree just beside the house, which in summer offers pleasant coolness and shade. Rye or white bread, fresh cottage cheese, buckwheat žganci with veal stew, bula with sour cabbage, buckwheat, cottage cheese, walnut, or kločevi štruklji, roast suckling pig—these are but a few of the goodies put on the table along with various brandies and juices. The Tourist Mežica mine, the Najevska linden, the birth house of the Slovene writer Prežihov Voranc, and the ironworking museum in Ravne are only a few suggestions from the many points of interest the area offers.

The Ošven Tourist Farm stands alone beside a forest immediately below the peak of Mount Uršlja gora where an unforgettable view opens over the village of Kotlje, the town of Ravne, and in nice weather over part of the neighbouring Austrian mountains as well. The hostess, an outstanding cook, will prepare a series of delicious items for you: dumplings, cold cuts with cottage cheese and pumpkin oil, or horseradish with bread. In the right season, the delicious food can be washed down with their homemade fruit wine. The Ošvens have a long tradition of beekeeping, so the farm always has plenty of honey brandy, propolis, and honey available. You can also leave the farm with a full basket of homemade meat products, sausages, cottage cheese, bread, and fruit wine. If you have ever toyed with the idea of observing wild animals, the family will happily take you on this kind of adventure. Hiking enthusiasts can also climb Mount Uršlja gora and visit Ivarčko jezero Lake or the Naravska ledina mountain lodge. Another special experience is a sled ride down the snowy slopes.

The Jeglijenk tourist farm is situated on a hill overlooking the village of Selovec, offering a wonderful view of the surrounding hills and valleys as well as of the Austrian Alps. The hostess continues the tradition of Carinthian cuisine and prepares all the dishes according to time-tested, traditional recipes. The farm specializes in baking different kinds of bread (spelt bread, rye bread, white bread, fruit bread…) in their own bread oven. Your hosts will also offer you a rich variety of meat products (salami, bržola, paté, minced lard…) as well as cottage cheese, štruklji, horseradish sauce and other typical Carinthian dishes. Delicious meals are accompanied by grape juice or a glass of homemade brandy. Accommodation is available in modernly equipped apartments that are an excellent choice for families with children. There is a children's playground in front of the house and many toys on the farm itself. The farm is an excellent starting point for visiting the nearby Kope sports and recreation center, a popular ski resort. There is also a small ski slope near the farm, suitable for beginners. You can also visit Mount Peca or some of the tourist attractions across the border in Austria.

The Samec tourist farm lies in the small village of Sele, surrounded by pristine nature and offering magnificent views of the mountains nearby. The hosts have thoughtfully transformed a typical former granary into modernly equipped apartments for their guests that are an excellent choice for families with children. The Samec family granary is one of the few still preserved granaries in Slovenia. They were used in the past for storing grain, dry fruit and walnuts, with a few pieces of cured meat or sausages hanging from the ceiling. Next to the granary is a lovely miniature kozolec (hayrack), which children staying at the farm can use for playing. Guests of the farm prepare their own food, while hosts can provide some of the ingredients since they breed cows, pigs and sheep on the farm. Some of the popular tourist attractions nearby are Meško's trail, Ivarčko Lake, the Land of Dwarfs trail, and the underground world below Mount Peca. If you are a cycling fan, you can sit on your bike and cycle around Uršlja Gora or explore the underground world in the former mines under Mount Peca. Hikers can head to the nearby mountains such as Uršlja gora, Peca or Raduha. You can also explore the nearby town of Slovenj Gradec, and if adrenaline is what you're looking for, you can try hang-gliding or climbing (popular climbing areas are Sele and Votle peči near Ravne). In winter you can head to the ski slopes at Kope, Rimski vrelec, Bukovnik and Ivarčko.

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 returning 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. Not far away are the swimming pools of the Zreče Health Resort, there are numerous trails through the forests below Pohorje, and the ski slopes of Rogla are only 19 kilometers away. Guests can borrow fishing gear at the farm, and the catch prepared later with the help of the hostess.

In the embrace of the green Pohorje mountains, the Urška Tourist Farm (named after the daughter of the family) sits on a small hill beside a forest. The awards and praises testifying that the farm is the best of the best are proven true by the Topolšek family, who become one with the guests who always fill the house. The food prepared by Vilma is simply enchanting: her numerous types of bread (rye, crackling, fruit, etc.), dried meat and dairy products, soups and vegetables, preserved fruits and vegetables, jams, desserts . . . just melt in your mouth. They serve vegetarian, macrobiotic, and diet food that can be accompanied by white, red, and ice wines from their cellar or a wide variety of homemade juices. The farm is a place where you may relax and gather new energy in the house of wellbeing unwinding in the saunas, Jacuzzi or hay bath. Upon arrival, Luks the dog is there to greet you and accompany guests around the area. There are also cats, rabbits, sheep and goats and children never want to leave the animals. Guests may rent a bike or linger a while with farmer Tone in his wine cellar. Zreče, Rogla and the rest of Pohorje keep guests busy bathing, hiking and picking forest fruits, while there are opportunities for skiing in winter.

The tranquility of the green Pohorje mountains, a healthy and clean environment, the hospitality and kindness of Pohorje people—all this and more is waiting for you at the Ramšak Tourist Farm. Hike around Pohorje in summer, ski on Rogla in the winter, and swim at the Zreče Thermal Spa throughout the year. If you ask your hosts what is special about their culinary offer, they will answer without having to think twice: organically grown food. As on all the surrounding farms, the Ramšaks’ plates are loaded with the most various delicacies: meat, vegetables, dried meat and dairy produce, and their wonderful strawberry jam.

If you are a lover of genuine farm food, then visit the Jager farm where they will surprise even the most demanding guests with their excellent homemade meals. The farm of this family of five is situated on a low hill with a beautiful view over the surrounding countryside beside the road from Dramlje to the Žiče Carthusian monastery. There is enough room here for an entire busload of people. The hostess Urška and her daughter Natalija will pamper you with delicacies, while landlord Stane and the grandfather will tell you something about farm work and local traditions and show you the wine cellar in their vineyard cottage. In the glasshouse you will be in contact with nature in late autumn and early spring as well. It's an ideal place to relax when it's cold outside, since the sun warms the glasshouse to a pleasant temperature and you feel as if you were sitting outside. The village where the Jagers live is an excellent starting point for a visit to the Žiče Carthusian monastery, which is situated only two kilometers from the birthplace of Saint Anton Martin Slomšek in Ponikva, or the house of the Ipavec brothers and the Rifnik archeological site in Šentjur. If you want a good skiing, you can visit the Rogla ski resort, and you can swim and relax at the Rogaška Slatina, Laško, or Zreče thermal spas.

With tradition to renown, with quality to trust. Tourism in the traditional Zdolšek house ensures a high-quality tourist offer to those guests who demand privacy, comfort, genuineness and the finest tourist services. The mainstays of the homestead are agriculture and viniculture. A stone inscription of the year 1824 over the entry portal of the house bears witness to its age. There is a large garden and orchard in front of the homestead. The homestead is in the hands of those who turn their backs on mass tourism, and thus attracts above all those guests seeking privacy, peace and relaxation. The surrounding area is varied and interesting. Nature lovers may go cycling, mushroom picking, gathering healing herbs or simply stroll through the beautiful countryside. Guests find it interesting to get to know the way of life on the homestead and in the surrounding area, while nearby tourist centres, including Terme Olimia and Terme Rogaška, may additionally enrich your stay. Its inclusion on the list of four-apple tourist farms demonstrates the quality of the tourist offer on the homestead. It was admitted to the European network of traditional houses in Slovenia due to its elements of tradition, its special character and homeliness.

The Bizjak farm is located in the hilly region of Kozjansko just about halfway between the Rogaška Slatina and Atomske Toplice health resorts; near the house beside the forest are a barn, a kozolec, and a vineyard work shed. The latter promises that guests will not leave thirsty, and the good wines are accompanied by fresh pork and beef, dried meat products, cottage cheese, and homemade bread. For desert, the cottage cheese potica (better known locally as zafrkječa) is truly special. Pleasant walking destinations include the two pilgrimage churches on nearby Tinski vrh, and car excursions can be made to the monastery and medieval pharmacy in Olimje and the health resorts. There is always plenty to do on the farm, from corn husking to playing in the hayloft, and since several members of the family are skilled musicians, the evenings resound with Slovene songs.

The Juričko family wine cellar lies among the rolling hills of Bizeljsko. Its position on a hill, near the forest, surrounded by meadows and overlooking a vineyard offers its visitors nice views of the picturesque landscape. The Juričkos are well-known for making excellent wines that will be most appreciated by wine lovers. To accompany their wines, they will offer you delicious homemade meat products. Families with children are also welcome at the wine cellar; during the warmer months children can play on the grass or on the swing. If you wish, during your stay you can rent bikes from the Juričkos and set out to explore the surroundings. Some of the places worth visiting include the nesting grounds of the European bee-eater (Merops apiaster), repnicas (caves dug into siliceous sand for storing crops), and castles in Podsreda, Bizeljsko and Pišece. If you like to have fun in the pool and enjoy the benefits of thermal spas, Terme Čatež, Terme Olimia and Terme Tuhelj in the neighbouring Croatia are not far away. In the cold winter months you can relax in the sauna or warm your bones near the fireplace. The hosts can also organize for their guests tours of repnicas and peasants' museums.

This organic farm lies on the southern slope of the Maribor Pohorje, in the village of Razvanje, just a stone's throw away from the Pohorje ski resorts. The farm is over two hundred years old and takes its guests on an unforgettable journey through a cuisine in which the organic note is strongly present. Who could resist an apple pie made from varieties of apples that are almost forgotten? Or refreshing home-made apple, pear, beetroot, carrot or grape juice? Or the various flavours of herbal infusions from the farm's own herb garden? Or excellent home-baked pastries, including doughnuts with honey and walnuts, bread and potica cake all made with spelt flour? Interesting activities on the farm include visits to the vegetable and herb gardens, where you can also pick herbs and learn about their uses. Families with children should not miss the chance to meet the farm animals (sheep, cats, hens, ducks, dogs). Children can play in the children's playground or be entertained by a real nanny.

Special love accompanies the serving of meat in aspic jelly, appetising gibanica and apple strudel. Selected beverages go well with carefully prepared dishes. Your hosts are thus able to offer you wine from their own vineyard or home-produced apple juice. Nature lovers are sure to enjoy walking and hiking around the nearby forests and the plains of the Drava valley. Those more actively inclined can go skiing on Maribor Pohorje in winter, or find new energy in the Finnish sauna specially set up to ensure your total wellbeing.

A visit to the farm Pri Bračkotu, run by two generations of the Bračko family, is a special experience also because the owners are very familiar with countryside traditions and keep them to this day. The farm is known for its delicious food and for making excellent wines. The hostess always prepares menus in accordance with the season, thus offering her guests a rich variety of different flavours. Mushroom soup with buckwheat žganci (groats), homemade meat products and sausages, delicious gibanica (a type of cake)… that's just a small part of their rich culinary offer. The farm is children-friendly. There are children's highchairs available and healthy and nutritious meals are served. Children will especially enjoy spending time with the farms dogs, Laki and Ajka, who love children and are happy to do all sorts of tricks for them. If you're looking for active holidays, don't miss grape picking, which is a special experience at the Bračkos. The farm is an excellent starting point for visiting Maribor, Terme Fontana and the well known sports and recreational center Pohorje, a popular year-round destination.

The Protner Tourist Farm is situated in the hilly region of Slovenske Gorice, which is famous for its fertile vineyards and orchards. When you wake up in the morning, you will feel like you are joined together with the Drava Valley, the Pohorje, Kope, and Donačka gora mountains, and the Pesnica Valley. And, since vineyards surround the farm, you can even pick a handful of grapes right through your window. The Protners are famous for their organically-produced fruit, grapes, and wine, which always impress fans of healthy food. Their kitchen specialties include meats from the lard barrel, venison salami, boiled sausage, and gibanica. Since their main occupation is winegrowing and making wine, there is no reason to leave the farm thirsty. If you wish, you can buy wine, fruit, brandy, and venison salami. Your first adventure can take place right on the farm, when you are invited to see the herd of fallow deer. If you want, you can participate in the grape harvest or in making sausages in season. You can find several beautiful churches nearby, and it is also pleasant to visit the city of Maribor or go skiing on the snowy slopes of the Pohorje mountains.

You will reach the Dreisiebner tourist farm by a picturesque heart-shaped road winding among vineyards. The farm offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Austrian border, on the borderland panoramic and hiking trail across the rolling hills of Svečina. The farm offers various homemade dishes, cold cuts with homemade cured meat products, including venison salami, cottage cheese and walnut gibanica (a kind of cake), potica, fruit bread baked in the bread oven and, upon previous arrangement, different warm dishes as well. The owners can also organize wine tasting in their 300-year-old cellar with arched ceilings. They produce the following wine varieties: kerner, traminec (Gewürztraminer), laški riesling, rumeni muškat (Yellow Muscat), Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Rhine Riesling, Pinot Blanc. Children will have a lot of fun playing with the farmyard animals that include cats, a dog, goats, pigs and rabbits. Places of interest in the vicinity include the Kebl winegrowing museum, Maribor with the oldest grape vine in the world on Lent and the swimming pools of Terme Maribor, while the Pohorje mountain range is great for hiking in summer and skiing in winter. Autumn is a good time to visit the wine roads in the area, including the one right across the border in Austria.

Friendly countryside

The Roškar family farm, located in the village of Lastomerci, lies surrounded by vineyards in the very heart of the famous Radgona winemaking district, where the Roškars also own vineyards of their own. The owners of the farm, which was one of the first tourist farms in the region, are proud of the excellent wines they produce. They also proudly continue the rich local culinary heritage, so that their guests can enjoy delicious meals all year round. They will thus offer their guests different soups (bograč, sour soup…), meat dishes (roast chicken, different roasts, deer meat specialties…), various side dishes (groats, potatoes…), cold dishes (sandwiches…), rich desserts (gibanica, kvasenica, postržjača, ocvirkovica…), that each in its own right and all together create a truly rich harmony of flavours. The Roškars have their own deer farm in the immediate vicinity, which always attracts both young and somewhat older visitors. They will be happy to receive families with children who have at their disposal a playground and a big soccer field. The farm is an excellent starting point for walks in nature and for visiting local thermal resorts in Radenci, Mala Nedelja… You can also head to the nearby hills and the cellars of Radgonske gorice or visit the castle in Negova.

Are you fed up of all the noise and polluted air in the big city? If your answer is yes, this is the place for you and your family. You will find the Rajšp apartment house in the heart of the Slovenske gorice region, where the sun rises early. On a quiet location surrounded by fields and near a forest there is a house with three well-equipped apartments whose names reflect their position: the Sunrise, the Sunset and the Sun. You can stay in the apartments, prepare your own meals and spend your holiday or getaway in peace and without stress. On the farm, which is just a short stroll away, you can stock up on fresh farm products (milk, bread, oil, eggs, jam...). If you wish, you can also have a look at different farm work. The surrounding area is suitable for leisurely strolls, Nordic walking, cycling, fishing and other activities. You can relax in the nearby thermal spas, and in winter you can visit the ski slopes at Mariborsko Pohorje. Next to the apartment house you will find a renovated old wooden house with a bread oven, a terrace and a room for socializing, which is particularly useful if you decide to spend your holiday together with a group of friends. Next to the house there is also a well, typical of the region, from which you can draw water yourself, especially during the warmer months, for drinking or for freshening up on a hot summer morning.

The excursion and winegrowing Lovrec farm is situated in Jiršovci. The house with its thatched roof, which won an award in 2009 for preserving cultural heritage in the countryside, is surrounded by vineyards and offers a great view of the surrounding area including parts of Austria, Hungary and Croatia. In the kitchen the hostess continues the culinary tradition of the region. Guests will love her Styrian sour soup, pork roast, salad with minced lard, gibanica, apple strudel, cold cuts with meat from the tünka (lard barrel)… Guests will also enjoy excellent wines offered on the farm since there are 45,000 grape vines on the farm that are cultivated with great care and respect, producing 15 different varieties of wine (9 whites, 6 reds). You can also taste some of the homemade liqueurs and enjoy a glass or two of homemade brandy. Children will enjoy the company of the farm's cat and Reks the dog, or they can join their parents and go for a ride in an old-fashioned hay wagon. The hosts can also organize guided tours of the nearby places of interest and help you to get to know them better. They will thus take you on a scenic tour of Destrnik, a tour of the vinedresser's cottage and General Maister's memorial room as well as St. Urban's church, and you can also climb to the top of Maister's tower with them.

The family are particularly proud of their cooking and still prepare food according to grandmother's recipes. One of their specialities is walnut kvasenica bread, while the sour soup, braised cabbage and many other dishes are also excellent. Even vegetarians will be spoilt. Every good meal deserves to be accompanied by a drop of good wine – which you can also enjoy at home, since wine, home-made bread and minced lard are available to buy on the farm. Families with children are well catered for on the farm. The farmer will be happy to take you to his wine cellar, where he will organise a wine-tasting for you. You can take part in grape-harvesting and learn how grapes were harvested in "the olden days". You can set out on foot, by bicycle or by car to visit Gornja Radgona, Negova and other destinations, peep into neighbouring Austria and discover many more of Prekmurje's natural and cultural sights during your stay on the farm.

The interesting landscape of Prekmurje and the rich cultural heritage offer plenty of opportunities for excursions, and the lake is ideal for water sports. You can visit mineral water springs, the largest castle in Slovenia, the triple border marker, a forest nature trail or one of many walking trails. On warm summer's nights you can sleep in the hayloft beneath a thatched roof. The farm has two tennis courts and bicycles are available for hire. Playground equipment and green areas around the house are available for children to play on.

You will find this organic farm, which is renowned as the home of outstanding beekeepers, beside the Goričko Wine Road in the Three-Country Landscape Park at a quiet and secluded spot on a hill overlooking the village.

When you leave the farm, you can fill your luggage with all sorts of honey items. You can devote a day on the farm to learning secrets from the family’s rich beekeeping tradition. Your hosts will happily open their beehives and show you the life of the bees inside and invite you to try various honey delicacies. During your visit you will encounter the sheep Maja and Kasandra, rabbits, birds of various species in the bird park . . . Everyone who loves peace and quiet will especially enjoy the farm, while those who like to spend their days exploring can visit Gornja Radgona, Radenci, Moravce, Graz (Austria), and Szentgotthard/Monošter (Hungary) and tour the interesting surroundings. Day tours of the farm are only possible by prior arrangement!

The Tremel farm can be found in the beautiful, newly established Goričko-Raab-Őrség Regional Park, which preserves a rich natural and cultural heritage. At the table you will be offered traditional Prekmurje delicacies: meat from the minced lard barrel, homemade ham, salami, and more. If you want a hot meal, you will be pampered with dödole, gibice, homemade rye bread, buckwheat žganci, various meat dishes, etc. Gourmets will be charmed with Prekmurje gibanica, posolanka, retaši, biba, zlevanka, and so on. This culinary expedition at the Tremels is elegantly complemented by an outstanding wine list, since the farm also boasts excellent high quality wines. Your hosts will take you on a tour of their wine cellar and direct mushroom hunters to the best picking spots. If you wish, you can enjoy the sauna in the farmhouse. While walking, bicycling, or horseback riding around the Goričko region, you will discover beautiful nature and many enchanting places, and the Moravci, Radenci, Banovci, and Lendava thermal spas all invite you to visit.

The Flisar family tourist farm, featuring gorgeous balcony flowers, is on a hill among vineyards along the Goričko wine road. The culinary delights of your hosts will enchant you. You will be pampered with bograč (a kind of goulash with potato and pasta), bujta repa (a turnip dish), crackling spread, Prekmurska gibanica, sauerkraut, žganci or dried meat products, while your hosts take care to ensure that no vegetarian leaves the table hungry. As good food obviously should be accompanied by good wine, Franc the master will be happy to bring a carafe or two to your table. Anyone that is interested to do so may try their hand at a little agricultural work, such as unhusking corn or grape-picking. The farmer’s wife will be delighted to unveil some of the hidden secrets of her cuisine. The farm is an ideal base for lovers of aqua fun, as there are various thermal centres in the surrounding area, including Terme Vivat, Terme 3000, Terme Radenci and Terme Lendava. For those keen on religious art, visits to the church of Sv Nikolaj, the Rotunda in Selo or the church in Bogojina, which is a work by famous Slovenian architect Plečnik, are a must.

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 presentations 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.

You will find the Dervarič family farm in the village of Kopriva, surrounded by vineyards, offering a beautiful view on the surrounding countryside. The Dervaričs are true masters of authentic regional gastronomy. They will delight the taste buds of their guests by offering them delicious bograč (goulash soup), buckwheat krapec, langaši (fried bread), meat from the tünka (minced lard barrel), rolšunka (ham), homegrown vegetables… If you wish to take a small part of countryside flavours with you and enjoy it after you come home, you can buy must, apple cider vinegar, pumpkin seed oil, apple juice, fruit brandy, honey liqueur and their specialty, Clinton's liqueur, on the farm. Since vineyards are also part of the farm, the owners make seven to eight thousand of liters of wine every year. If you want, you can accompany your host Dušan into the 120-year-old wine cellar for wine tasting and learn more about the fascinating world of wine. The farm is children-friendly and its owners can also organize a rafting expedition on the Mura river as well as take you for a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. The farm is an excellent starting point for hiking, horseback riding, cycling, fishing, swimming in the Mura river or in the nearby thermal resorts. Interesting towns to visit are Ljutomer, Radenci, Murska Sobota, Lendava…

The hosts are happy to say that they have a rich culinary offer. They are sure to charm their guests with turkey, home-baked in the wood oven and St Martin’s goose, prepared according to the recipes of our grandmothers. Other treats to fill your plate include home-made bread, pork roast, buckwheat cake and outstanding desserts, such that even the most demanding guests will be completely delighted. Every dish is accompanied by a thoughtfully-selected wine, as the farm boasts a broad choice of quality and high-quality wines. Vegetarians will not leave the table hungry either. Taking part in grape-picking, helping to set up a ‘klopotec’, a kind of scarecrow which is a typical feature of the region, or St Martin’s feast are all events which will serve to leave a lasting impression. Should you so wish, you may join a guided wine-tasting. The farm is an ideal spot to set out for a visit to the thermal baths at Banovci, Radenci, Moravske Toplice or Lendava. Otherwise, you might find Jeruzalem, Ormož, Ljutomer or Ptuj, one of the most beautiful Slovenian towns, well worth a visit.

The Bogša farm has an idyllic setting north of Ormož in a village that you won't find in any tourist literature. There is never a shortage of wine and homemade bread served with sausages, pork preserved in lard, homemade aspic, fresh vegetables, and dairy products; on weekends, they serve suckling pig roasted in the bread oven. In this tiny village, guests mainly enjoy the peace of nature. It is also possible to observe fallow deer in the pen on the farm. The house has a sauna and a lawn suitable for all kinds of outdoor games. Hunting has a special place here, and you can go hunting in the forest or wait for game in the blinds with members of the hunters' association in Ormož. The closest health resort is the Ptuj Thermal Spa, and the Banovci spa is not much farther away. There is a large wine cellar in Ormož, and touring the Ljutomer and Ormož Wine Roads is a delight. Ljutomer boasts the oldest equestrian club in Slovenia, and in season you can enjoy the harness races.

The Ozmec farm stands on the slopes of Slovenske Gorice in the heart of Prlekija. What the people of Prlekija allow themselves they offer with pleasure to their guests goes the saying, and the Ozmec farm is no exception. The whole year round they prepare delicious Prlekija dishes to order, and you can get homemade cold cuts, pork preserved in lard, bread, and wine from own vineyard at any time. When they have more guests–there is seating for 80-120 diners–they offer sauerkraut with roast sausage or blood sausage, other meat dishes, and for dessert, pogača and postržjača. On the farm, you can help tend the vines in spring and harvest grapes in autumn and eat with the family when the work is done. Local sights worth visiting include the Sv. Trojica (Holy Trinity) church from 1219, the viewing tower in Gomila, the castle in Velika Nedelja, and the wine cellars of Ormož and Jeruzalem, and, of course, a trip to Ptuj is a must weit. The Sv.

The Firbas Farm is located in the little village of Cogetinci in the hill region of Slovenske Gorice and has been welcoming guests for over fifteen years. The farm belongs to the European "Houses of Tradition" network. The four members of the family welcome you with hospitality and spoil you with home cooking and other services on the farm. Marjana looks after the kitchen and Alojz looks after the wine. Their sons Bojan and Dejan help serve the guests and are in charge of activities. Guests on the farm are people who want contact with nature and a genuine, homely atmosphere. That is why ever since the beginning their vision has always been to only offer guests what they can produce themselves and actually comes from their farm. The farm is most famous for its viljamovka (pear brandy) but also for its wine, home-made fruit juices, meat products, bread and puddings.

Surrounded by vineyards, the Moj dom (“My Home”) Tourist Farm can be found in the heart of the Slovenske Gorice region on a gently sloping hill above the center of Juršinci.Hostess Marta is skilled in organic cooking and the preparation of healthy country lunches and also prides herself on excellent homemade bread and bread krapec. Meat lovers will enjoy meat from the tünka (lard barrel) and cold cuts, which the Toplaks serve with delicious wines produced from the vines that cover as much as ten hectares of their land. If you want, you can relax body and soul at the local fishpond, and on the farm you can visit the “Household Center” to enjoy kitchen specialties. If you enjoy learning cooking secrets, attending the course that boasts the evocative title “Dishes of our Grandmothers” is the right choice.

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, homemade 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.

Nujec is the homestead name used by the Balon family for purposes of better recognition of this winemaking family in Bizeljsko. The centuries-old name Nujec originates from their homestead in the village of Gregovce with an underground wine cellar that can store up to 50.000 litres of wine right between the roots of the oldest oak tree in Slovenia. Although the oak tree has already succumbed to old age and the great Capricorn beetle, it is still magnificent and worth seeing. The oak is also a symbol of our wines. The farm comprises 20 hectares of farmland, 5 hectares of which are vineyards. There are a total of around 25.000 grape vines. In the center of Bizeljsko we have a wine shop that can receive up to 45 people. It also has a tasting room where you can taste a wide range of our wines accompanied by homemade cold cuts containing salami, ham, bacon and smoked shoulder butt. All these homemade specialties are made from pigs grown on our farm and fed homegrown food, which provides us with high-quality pork for making our products. Come and visit us in Bizeljsko, where you will be able to feel our connection with our vineyards. Good wines, in which we can taste warm rays of sun, noble aromas and the loving hand of the winemaker will warm your heart in a way that is hard to describe, so come and feel it with us.

The Vimpolšek family farm is located on the outskirts of Brežice, surrounded by meadows, fields and a forest. The owners have embraced integrated farming methods in growing produce and vegetables; they also grow free-range poultry and pigs and are known as excellent winemakers – no wonder then that there are always delicious aromas wafting from their kitchen. The hostess still prepares dishes based on her grandmother's recipes. Some of the traditional dishes found on the menu are smoked pork shank with sauerkraut and buckwheat žganci, osukana župa (a type of soup) with cracklings, posiljeno zelje (a cabbage dish) with beans, white polenta with cracklings, buckwheat cake… And this is just a small part of their rich and varied culinary offer. Vegetarians are well provided for. The Vimpolšeks will also offer their guests their excellent wine. The farm is children-friendly and has a children's playground. The hosts can also teach you how to make hay using a scythe and how to thrash grains. The farm is an excellent starting point for visiting the castle in Brežice, the swimming pools in Terme Čatež, the church of St. Vid, the castle and golf course in Mokrice and repnicas (caves dug into siliceous sand for storing crops) in Bizeljsko.

Visitors are always welcome at the farm in a village right under the parish church.Guests who choose to come can spend their day in a variety of ways. The farm is especially suitable for lovers of archery, riding, rowing and basketball. It is also very child-friendly, as housewife Petra is a kindergarten teacher well-aware of the secrets of the sometimes ‘changeable’ ways of children. In the summertime when the weather is nice, your hosts organise genuine children’s holidays, but will also be happy to look after the babysitting should the parents wish to afford themselves a short trip to nearby attractions. Sv Vid, a wonderful viewpoint, is not far from the farm and may be reached on foot. Other popular attractions include Mokrice castle, Kostanjevica with its unique Forma Viva, the winegrowing hills of Bizeljsko and Brežice, while lovers of aqua fun should never forget to visit Terme Čatež, a real magnet for children on hot summer days.

Surrounded by meadows and forest, the pleasant village of Maline is located at the foot of the Gorjanci mountain range in Bela krajina, and here you will find the Pecel Tourist Farm. The Pecel farm has “ecological farm” status, and all their food and drink is organically produced. From the kitchen drift the aromas of Bela krajina cake, roast lamb, and all sorts of other delicacies. The farm prides itself on excellent, organically-grown wines including the red Metliška Črnina, Bela krajina white wine, and Chardonnay, which you can also buy. In addition to wine, organically-produced fruit juices, fruit vinegars, dried fruits, fruit brandies, and dried meat products are also available. The horses, which are a symbol of the farm, will particularly impress you. If you wish, your hosts will take you on a short excursion with a carriage or a hay wagon. In the summer you can treat yourself to an overnight stay in the old hay barn, where there is also a museum of farm tools. You can also rent an apartment for five in the 150-year-old farmhouse.

Only six kilometers from Metlika, the Bajuk excursion farm stands on a hill overlooking Bela Krajina and neighbouring Croatia. If you have a penchant for fine wines, this is the place for you since their wine cellar five meters below ground is exactly the right temperature to store a variety of excellent wines. The best time to visit Bajuk is during the grape harvest when guests can help with the work and enjoy wine tasting in the wine cellar. The quality of the food served at the farm is as good as the wine and includes roast lamb or suckling pig on the spit, fresh home-grown vegetables, and delicious pies and potica for dessert. An annual springtime wine festival is held in Metlika between the 18th and 20th of May, and in Črnomelj enjoy the ancient Jurjevanje festival in June. The best way to be sure to experience all the wonderful festivities in the region is to visit the Bajuk farm often.

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 sightseeing 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.

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 hospitality. 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.

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.

The Ob Izviru Krupe farm is situated close to the source of the Krupa River. The river, which is fed by the runoff from four watersheds, wells forth as a mighty spring beneath a high limestone cliff and gathers in a deep dark green lake. The meals served at the Cerjanec farm are traditional–as traditional as the hospitality in this region–and include lamb or suckling pig on a spit, various pies, pastries, and homemade wine fresh from the barrel. Guests may participate in the farm chores such as haymaking, corn husking, and grape picking or try their hand at herding sheep and driving a hay wagon. There are several well-marked nature trails on which you can explore the Krupa Landscape Park and Bela krajina's unspoiled natural landscape, while those who like excitement can go paragliding from Mt. Smuk or down to the nearby motocross course. There are also numerous fascinating festivals such as the Spring Wine Festival in April, the Jurjevanje festival in June, or the Semič Wedding in July.

The Gabrijanovi farm is situated near forests and vineyards only 500 meters from the Kolpa River. Although tourists have only recently begun to discover the beauty of this region of Slovenia, Mira Gabrijan knows very well what her guests like best and dishes up a mixture of classical and traditional foods, which include lamb or suckling pig on a spit with homemade bread, gibanica for dessert, local red or white wine, and walnut, plum, or blueberry brandy. The main attraction of the region is the Kolpa River, where guests can go swimming, fishing, or boating in a canoe rented at the farm. The farm also has bicycles available, table tennis, and a children's playground and swings. The museum of domestic crafts and the Wine Road can be explored on foot, and a short drive will take you to the nearby ski slopes or the Dolenjske Toplice Health Resort.

The landlady will lay on the table home-made buckwheat, walnut, fruit, ham, corn or brown bread, as well as pork, beef or horse meat, all kinds of vegetables and dairy produce. But of course, before all that comes a small glass of home made brandy. Specialities of the house are obara (stew) served with buckwheat žganci, štruklji made with home made cottage cheese and butter, stuffed veal ribs and sponge cake. In the vicinity of the village are Slivnica, Snežnik Castle, Rakov Škocjan, the winter-sports resort of Kalit, and the Postojna and Križna caves.

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 gathering berries and mushrooms, explore the countryside on bicycle or horseback, go swimming in the nearby river, or in winter ski on the slopes of Kalič 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.

The farm lies at the very foot of Mount Nanos in the middle of blossoming meadows beside the Nanoščica stream. For all guests spending their holidays in Hudičevec, a variety of fresh and delicious dishes are always available, along with excellent wines and other drinks. Several days must be devoted to holidaying on the farm since it is not possible in an hour or two to discover the rich karst underground world (Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle, Škocjan Caves), climb Mount Nanos, Mount Snežnik, or Mount Vremščica, go riding in Lipica, bicycling . . .

This is the scene at the Pri Andrejevih Tourist Farm.

Friendly countryside

At the top of the village of Avber, right next to the church, offering a wonderful view of the entire Karst region, you will find the Francinovi tourist farm. On a renovated farm that is distinguished by extremely well-preserved Karst architecture, your hosts will treat you to unique culinary delights. In addition to the famous Karst prosciutto, homemade salami, cheese in olive oil and štruklji, the hostess likes to serve dishes that are still prepared according to her own traditional recipes. Good food should be accompanied by good wine, and there are plenty of them on the farm whose owners treat their vineyards and wines with great respect and love. Families with children are more than welcome. You can rent bikes on the farm and explore the Karst region in a slightly different way, in contact with its countryside, which is certainly a special experience. If you want to get to know the area with your hosts as guides, don't hesitate: the Francins will be happy to show you around. The location of the farm makes it an excellent choice for visiting the lovely nearby town of Štanjel, the Lipizzaner stables in Lipica, Divača and Škocjan caves, and who don't mind a longer trip might even head to Venice.

The Škerlj Tourist Farm, which has the characteristic enclosed courtyard of the karst region, stands in Tomaj in the shelter of Tabor Hill. From here the view extends across Kras and its vineyards. Guests can become acquainted with dried meat specialties cured in the karst bora wind and taste the karst region’s unique Teran wine. The farm has a rich offer including an outdoor swimming pool and a recreation room. You can rent bicycles on the farm and ride on almost twenty kilometers of easy bicycle trails to the Škocjan Caves, Lipica, Vilenica Cave, the world famous war museum in Lokve, and the interesting karst village of Štanjel. In the village itself stands the memorial house of the Slovene poet Srečko Kosovel and the 16th-century Church of Mary still roofed with stone slates.

The Petelin – Durcik tourist farm is on the Karst wine road, close to the church on the outskirts of the village of Pliskovica, among vineyards and fields with gorgeous views across the village to Štanjel, Komen and Kobjeglava. The farm, which is part of the integrated production of grapes and wine, offers its guests various delicacies of the Karst region, such as prosciutto, štruklji, jota and gnocchi. Vegetarians are also catered for. As good food should always be accompanied by a drop of good wine, the farm will be happy to serve various local wine specialities, including teran, malvazija, vitovska grganja and teran liqueur, beverages that may also be purchased on the farm. The hosts like to point out that they stay true to local customs and traditions. They will outline local history and lead you along the Pliska educational trail. Lovers of a good drop will surely not turn down an offer to visit the wine cellar which affords a chance to sample the produce. The farm is an excellent starting point for a visit to Štanjel or Sežana. A visit to Lipica may include a look at the famous Lipizzaner horses and riding school. The caves at Škocjan and Vilenica, which claims to be the oldest tourist cave in Slovenia, afford a chance to explore the characteristics of the Karst world. In addition, cycle hire is available on the farm, from where you may ride out to such places as Trstelj or Tomaj, where you can have a look around the house where Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel was born, as well as Štanjel and others.

The Abram-Žerjal farm and vineyard is located in the Karst, in the village of Sveto, on the Karst wine tourism route. In the season of the new wine, the family will serve you choice dishes from the Karst region – a veritable gastronomic experience. Home-cured Karst ham is even better with a glass or two of full-bodied dark red Teran. Excellent vegetarian food is also available. When you leave, you will have the chance to buy Teran, Vitovska Grganja, muscatel, Teran liqueur and herb liqueurs. The Abram-Žerjals welcome families with small children, who can play in the playground, observe the swallows that nest on the farm, or feed Ferdo the pony before setting off on new adventures. Numerous cycling trails allow you to discover the magic of the Karst. Bicycles are available for hire on the farm. There are lots of interesting things to see in the village itself: the church, the ancient linden, the village well, the First World War cemetery, and so on. Also worth a visit are Štanjel Castle, the Lipica Stud Farm, the Pliskovica Nature Trail and many other sights that you will discover during your stay on the farm.

The Abram farm is situated on the Nanos plateau in a peaceful spot with a view of the Slovene and Italian coastlines, the Julian Alps, and the Dolomites. In 2006, the farm was connected to the electricity grid, but the Abrams also have their own solar and wind power plant, built in 2003. Visitors will also remember the farm for the fact that the Abrams use their own solar- and wind-powered generator built in 2003 to supply their electric power. Enjoy traditionally prepared dishes from the Primorska region such as minestrone soup, jota, wild game, goulash, gnocchi, mushrooms, and various sweets to tempt the palate.

The Na Hribu farm lies on the eastern edge of the Vipavska Brda hills in the settlement called Slap. There are fewer than 400 inhabitants in the village, ensuring that guests at Na Hribu will have a peaceful stay. The Žorž family are more than happy to spend time with their guests, sharing with them the traditions of the Vipava region and teaching them all about the medicinal herbs that grow in the surrounding area. Their hospitality doesn't stop there however, as you will surely agree once you have tasted their wonderful food. Try the traditional jota (barley and vegetable stew), herb omelettes, homemade pršut (prosciutto), salamis, pancetta, rabbit stew, roast pork, and pickled cucumber or mushroom side dishes. You will drink homemade red wines (Merlot, Barbera, Cabernet-Sauvignon) and white wines (Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Zelen, Laški Rizling). Two kilometers away, Vipava offers a modern wine cellar and the old Lanthieri castle. Štanjel, a typical medieval karst village built from local stone and encircled by a wall, is only 12 kilometers from Slap. Guests can climb on Mount Nanos and bicycle in the Vipava Valley, and the sky is often bull of hang gliders in summer.

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 apartments, is a great starting point for exploring the surroundings of Vipava.

The Cigoj family's farm was built in 1830, while the date over the stone entrance portal reads 1811. Visitors to the farm can enjoy traditional and almost forgotten specialities of the Primorska region such as pork tenderloin stuffed with prosciutto and wrapped in a vine leaf, local rabbit served with polenta, roast salami in a wine sauce, jota, and so on. End your meal with Vipava-style strudels or dumplings, and do not forget to try the excellent home-cured meat products. Set off on foot to see the local sights, or visit Postojna, Škocjan, Lipica, Štanjel, the Soča or Sveta Gora. By arrangement, visitors can help with the grape harvest, making and bottling wine or, in winter, making sausages at slaughter-time.

Beside the old road between Ajdovščina and Nova Gorica close to the fish-filled Vogršček reservoir lies the Pri Rjavčevih Tourist Farm. Nearby is a landing area for hang-gliders and sport parachutists. In a genuine farm setting they will offer you house delicacies such as homemade pršut (prosciutto), pancetta (air-dried bacon), salami, and sausages, various local stews (mineštre), njoki, homemade pasta bleki, beef soup, vegetable side dishes, fried potatoes, roast beef, roast pork prata, seasonal game with polenta, štruklji, and apple strudel.

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 Karst, 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 and, on Saturdays, country evenings with music and dancing. 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 Štanfel farm is situated in the idyllic little village of Podsabotin in Goriška Brda, the first village you will come across when you arrive to Brda. It will take you only a ten minute drive from Nova Gorica and you will already arrive to Podsabotin, far from the hustle and bustle of urban life. You hosts will treat you to top quality wine and delicious food prepared according to old recipes. The specialty of the farm are cured meat products (prosciutto, homemade salami, smoked shoulder butt, pancetta, sausages), prepared by the owner Štefan following old recipes that were passed from generation to generation. They also serve delicious traditional dishes of the region such as gnocchi, frtalja (a kind of omelette), bleki (homemade pasta), white polenta, venison goulash, grape bread, fig bread, light desserts… The hosts thoughtfully pair the food with chosen wines from their own stone clad wine cellar. 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.

At the very western edge of Goriška Brda right on the Italian border in the little village of Breg pri Golem Brdu stands the Breg Tourist Farm. Here guests can enjoy an environment that the bustle of civilization has not reached. A typical farmhouse is available for guests; the lower part contains a smaller room with a fireplace, while the upper part has a large room with a glassed terrace and a fine view of the Brda landscape. Toč with pršut (prosciutto) and white polenta, frtalja (an omelet rich with herbs) served according to an old Brda custom, goulash with white polenta, markandele, frika, njoki, potato cake—all these are offered from the long list of Brda delicacies, but of course a wide range of other (Brda and Friuli-Venezia Giulia) dishes are on the menu. And wine from their own cellar, naturally. At the neighbours you can learn the secrets of shaping pottery, and the Brda region and the entire Goriška region are yours to explore. The farm has received the national “Lipa” award for quality.

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.

Surrounded by the beautiful nature of Goriška brda you will find the Šibav family farm, whose owners 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 winemaking 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 characterized 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.

The Puhan family tourist farm is situated in Bogojina, a village known for its church designed by the great Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. Right above the church, on its northern side, there is a hill with a chapel on top. After a few minute's walk from the church to the top of the hill, you will find yourself in the yard of the Puhan farm. The Puhans are known for their excellent culinary offer. Guests love their bograč (a goulasch-like soup), dődoli (potato mush), cold cuts with Prekmurje ham, smoked shoulder butt, homemade sausages and other meat products, to which the hostess adds various delicious spreads. There are also traditional deserts such as posolanka (cake with cottage cheese) and the mouth-watering prekmurska gibanica (Prekmurje layer cake), with its four different fillings. In winter they also offer different pork specialties and sausages, including blood sausages and bujta repa (sour turnip hot pot). Meals are always accompanied by carefully chosen wines produced by your host Jože. The Puhans also organize wine tastings for their guests in their beautiful wine cellar, lead by Jože, who is also a member of the European wine knight order. The farm is a good starting point for visiting Terme 3000, the tropical garden in Dobrovnik, Bukovniško lake, the Love island in Ižakovci with its floating mill and other interesting sights of Prekmurje.

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.

organic holiday farmAn organic holiday farm offers guests a healthy living environment and organic food, for which it holds a certificate from the authorised control body.

healthy living holiday farmOffers holidays for those who love a healthy lifestyle. Opportunities for active leisure in unspoilt natural surroundings, combined with a healthy diet.

family-friendly tourist farmThese farms offer family holidays in an authentic farm setting. Great attention is devoted to entertaining children, and they pride themselves their at-tractive facilities especially for children (room furnishings, play areas, healthy food). Special attention is devoted to including parents in all activities.

tourist farm with program for children unaccompanied by parentsThese farms offer entertaining and active holidays for children without accompanying parents, most frequently with their own guardians. Some farms offer a safe and diverse comprehensive program of activities themselves. Their farm stay programs include getting to know nature, working on the farm, and play activities under the careful supervision of child care workers or other professionally qualified staff.

cyclist-friendly farmOffers numerous possibilities for cycling in the surrounding area, information on cycling trails and their characteristics, and information on local sights that are reachable by bicycle. Bicycle storage is available on the farm. Bicycles also available for hire.

wine tourism farmWine tourism farms, most of which lie on wine routes, are friendly family farms that spoil their guests with fine wines and delicious cooking. Guests can learn about work in the vineyard and cellar. These farms are not only attractive to wine lovers: all visitors are charmed by their hospitality and homeliness.

disabled-friendly farmVisitors in wheelchairs can move independently around the farm and premises that are adapted as far as possible to their needs.
