Tastes and Scents of The Village

Take a look at our most famous experience program. Let the tastes and scents of the village embrace you.

 

We had the opportunity to present our visitors the experience program Discover Hrib few weeks ago. Heading towards the parish of St. Leonard we met hinds and deers in a shelter so we stopped to join them. The owner offered us some mown grass to lure them closer. Mobile phones and cameras started to shoot, the collection of impressions began to fill up.

Meeting new animal friends

The northern wind locally called bura cleared the view, so the mountain range on which Risnjak, Snježnik and Guslica lined up looked like so bright. On the other side of the view, the rocky slopes of Borovška gora in Slovenia posed proudly. One hill in particular attracted our attention on this clear and sunny morning – the shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, better known as Sveta Gora.

When the panoramic view confirmed our position, we headed to meet new animal friends on the OPG Cunar family farm. We were welcomed by two cows and a bull. We witnessed the milking of goats whose milk were later served for us to taste. As fresh as you can get! Socializing followed. Or a better expression would be cuddling with a whole herd of goats. What a rush of endorfines! The cuddling continued when we met with a recently hatched duckling. And of course we had to peek into the chicken coop.

Tastes and Scents the Village: A Collection of Memories

At the next stop we were introduced to medicinal and wild edible herbs. We enjoyed the flavors and aromas of their preparations. The whole essence of the village is transferred in them. On the way through the forest, we walked on a narrow path that deers made. Among numerous animal tracks, we came across a large one. A huge red deer must have passed just before us.

We came to our last station, the picnic area OPG Stipko. The owner greeted us with a homemade welcome drink and a table full of tasty food. We suddenly became so hungry! But before the final relaxation, we were awakened by the pompous arrival of two horses that ran out of the woods. That was definitely an adrenaline experience!
