Turistična Kmetija Pr' Jureč
An excitable fellow, Mr Bogataj leads groups through a comprehensive collection of tools, equipment and personal possessions that had been passed down from previous generations, and in some cases stored for nearly two centuries before being dusted off and put back into service. Every facet of rural life is on display here from shoe repair and cooking utensils to large horse-drawn ploughs and more modern 20th-century tractors. Perhaps the most interesting - and sometimes interactive - part of the tour is an educational demonstration of how one of humanities most basic ingredients, flour, is produced, which begins with a pile of wheat and ends with a loaf of bread fresh out of the oven of Mrs Bogataj. Of course as with many things in Slovenia, the tour is not finished until you've sampled a few glasses of homemade schnapps. A highly informative, entertaining and tasty place to visit indeed.
