Pristine villages and people of Goriška region

Program

Kanal

We will start and end our journey in Kanal. A special little place at the beginning of Soča valley with a well known view of the bridge over the river Soča. A picture of this bridge is a must have in your portfolio while traveling in Slovenia. On a short walk through old square and tiny streets where you can during summer time admire a street exibition of art of local artist, you will soon feel that this is a town with rich art soul. We will cross the bridge and stop at the local cheese diary wich products are made from milk of cows that live and grazes in a remote, clean nature. If we'll be lucky we'll allso meet and old guy who makes traditional carnival masks known fort his area.

Nadavče

The history of the curch of Marija Snežna it's interesting for many legends of it's making. We'll fascinate you with some misterius stories from the time of it's creation some of them written and some of them  told by our grandfathers.

Avšje

Tiny little village on the sunny hill, with closely united houses and pristine hinterland soul. On the Jug homestead there are keeping a private colection of war and etnological items. At the neighbours Lukčevi we'll try the best dry meet and salami of our area.

Testeni

In this vilage the time goes by really slowly. Only few familiees living here but all rich in agricoulture and cattle farming. The cows go for a walk from the barn to the pasture in the morning and in the evening. The locals have always ready a storie about something bizzare and verry funny occassions but that always happend to their neighbur.

Banjšice

A green plateau of extensive meadows, where the basic activity of population is cuttle farming and agricoulture. Endless pastures are the kingdom of cows and horses. And the fact that the cows are reall queens here you understand when you'll enter in a barn of 30 cows and the farmer calls them all by their name. Fascinating. We'll be hosted on the DS Camping farm wich is focused on sport and amatorial horse farming and is in the late years verry well integrating everything with tourist offer.
