Quick info
Idrijski Žlikrofi
Slovenia is a Central European country that is often described as 'Europe in miniature'. It offers an incredible diversity of landscapes in a compact territory: from the alpine peaks of the Julian Alps and lush forests, to a picturesque Adriatic coast and mysterious karst plains. It is a paradise for lovers of nature and outdoor activities.
A Culinary Crossroads
Slovenian gastronomy is a delicious secret to discover. Its position at the crossroads of Europe gives it influences from Italian, Austrian, Hungarian and Balkan cuisines, but with its own character based on local and seasonal ingredients. The 'garden to table' philosophy is common practice.
