Welcome to our home Kranjska Gora Vršič Slovenia

Welcome to our home

Imagine the embrace of green surroundings, the smell of freshly cut grass, genuine Slovenian dialects, traditional architecture and old farming customs and you’ll start to get some idea of the appeal of our countryside. Farm tourism, usually family-owned, open their doors and serve their guests the best produce from their gardens, fields, cellars, smokehouses, pantries and kitchens.

Housewives upgrade their grandmothers’ recipes with the elements of modern cuisine or accompany their guests and their children show their peers from the city how to spend a day without a tablet or a smartphone.

Farm tourism owners are sincerely looking forward to your visit. They will help you slow down your everyday rhythm and make sure that you experience the authenticity of the Slovenian countryside. You are welcome in all seasons.

Feel nature, feel the Slovenian countryside

Feel the mountain air, untouched nature as far as the eye can see, and experience the feeling of complete serenity that energises your body and spirit. Visit a tourist farm and feel the wealth of nature.

The Soča Valley will surprise you at every step due to its immeasurable natural beauty. Its main artery, the River Soča, is considered to be one of the most beautiful European rivers.

Slovenia is the fourth smallest country in the centre of Europe. The nation’s total number of inhabitants is only comparable to a small global city, but it boasts a wealth of nature that is extremely diverse. In its small territory, no fewer than four geographic areas meet. These form a unique mesh of the Alps, the coast in the Primorska Region, the wine-growing rolling hills of the Štajerska Region, the Pannonian plains, and the Dinaric-Karst plateaus and their mysterious subterranean world. It is a true game of opposites, which allows you to combine the most unique experiences in just one day: you can climb a mountain ascending over 2000 metres and then jump in the sea; you can explore the cave world and enjoy a panoramic view from hilltops; you can run for many kilometres in the Pannonian plains and then hike up mountain trails; and you can see the remains of a glacier and sunbathe on a beach. Make memories that last.

CLEAN AIR AND DRINKABLE WATER

Embraced by this diversity, you will be welcomed by tourist farms, surrounded by vast meadows, colourful fields, and lush forests, where farmers have been living in close touch with nature for centuries. They take from it, but they also make great efforts to give back. The air is kept clean everywhere and the water is eminently drinkable. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city and the fast pace of every- day routine, life here has a somewhat different rhythm.

Here, you can experience full relaxation: you will awake hearing the sounds of cow bells and smelling freshly cut grass, you will lay without a care in the world in the shade of trees, listening to birds singing in their leafy canopies. If you wish to explore the charms of unspoilt nature, you are free to take a stroll through the forest and across meadows.

Clear evenings when the sky is filled with thousands of stars that are otherwise dimmed by the glare of city lights will make for a wonderful experience as well. On such evenings, you will feel in close touch with nature and full of fresh energy. The experience offered by the Slovenian countryside is an ideal opportunity for you to escape your everyday routine and enjoy getting in authentic touch with nature and with yourself.

A Tradition Worth Preserving

It is easy to find one’s own piece of holiday and adventure paradise in a region where mighty mountains, crystal waters and fresh forests prevail.

Due to the glacial action which shaped its surface tens of thousands of years ago, the curves of Gorenjska are particularly voluptuous and dramatic. Triglav National Park, one of the oldest protected environments in Europe, was established here. The highest peaks, wooded Pokljuka Plateau, the Savica and Peričnik waterfalls, deep river and flooded valleys and lakes Bohinj and Bled determine the character of this region, which towards the east is supplemented by the Jelovica Plateau, abundant with natural features, charming valleys such as Jezersko, and the diverse history of the Škofja Loka and Cerkno Hills.

HEALTHY AND NATURAL

The beneficial effects of nature of Gorenjska have been drawing visitors seeking sun and fresh air for centuries. At the end of the 19th century, the Swiss natural healer Arnold Rikli invited people to Lake Bled for climatic therapy. In addition to sunbathing and bathing in water, his patients ascended Bled Castle and enjoyed a pletna boat ride to Bled Island. They spent their time on mountain pastures where a cheesemakers’ trail can be found today and where Alpine dairy farmers are still active. They also tasted spicy Mohant cheese, a special treat for gourmets. Part of their strict healthy diet was undoubtedly also honey of the Carniolan honeybee, an indigenous Slovenian bee species.

SWEET AND PASSIONATE

The tradition of bee-keeping initiated by Anton Janša, the founder of modern bee-keeping, was an inspiration behind the Museum of Apiculture in Radovljica. Sweet honey, an ingredient of gingerbread hearts intended to express affection, certainly kindled many flames of passion. And it is passion – for activity, deliciousness and relaxation – that is imprinted on the Gorenjska region.
