The first thing to be said about this place is the sheer beauty of the views. Standing 570m above the village of Frankolovo (7km north of Vojnik), it attracts many of those at the beginning or end of a long hike into the mountains nearby and also visitors to Rogla ski centre and the spas at Dobrna and Zreče. The house is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday without prior appointment, but the amazing 'mistress' of the house - Hilda Goršek - accepts visitors any day of the week, providing it's pre-arranged. The aforementioned lady is a machine, preparing about 3000 loaves of award-winning home-made bread per week, to be distributed as far as Ljubljana (apparently renowned among governmental politicians). In addition, the farm has lots of livestock: cows, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens, from which Hilda prepares great meals and cured meats. Wash that down with home-made brandy, wine or delicious organic apple juice and you'll be ready for more food (trust us - that's a cycle that can continue for a very long time!) Other specialities include štruklji (pastry commonly with cottage cheese), potica (rolled sweet bread with walnuts) and horseradish.
No, the smiley, curly haired mother of the house, Hilda, doesn't stop there - she also gives cooking courses!
Drop by in the right season to help with the harvest, be it corn or grapes - or prepare the
home-reared meat.
