Farm-based tourism
The farms catering for tourists in the Karst are ideal stopovers where you can relax and have a snack or as starting points to explore the various nature trails.
There are many farms where you can also buy cheese, wine and other local products with some farms hosting osmize at certain times of the year.
The Karst cuisine is traditional, slowcooked, seasonal, enriched with herbs, wild plants and fruit. It is a mixture of Mediterranean, Central and Eastern European influences.
The secret of delicious cuisine is hidden in the select local ingredients that the Karst people grow with love in their gardens. Certain specialities of Karst cuisine are dishes prepared with Teran wine. On cold days when the harsh bora is blowing, do not leave Karst without tasting the delicious Karst "jota", which is thick minestrone soup with sauerkraut or turnip, potatoes, beans.
Plenty of traditional restaurants and farms can be found in the same village or within a 15km range from Casa Lenka:
