by travelbug102 Central Market - Ljubljana
If you don't have time to make it to the museum of bee-keeping in Radovljica, then head over to the market in Ljubljana and get yourself a few of these beehive art panels. There's religious subjects, some history lessons, but the best are the folk tales featuring gossiping housewives or forest animals holding a funeral for the local hunter. You can usually get the person selling them to give you a little background information or translate some of the language. They come in about a half dozen sizes, the largest being 4"x12".

by novsco61 Interesting beehive art - it is called Panjska koncnica. In the 18th and 19th centuries, farmers used the front panels of beehives to paint folk characters that represented Slovenian fables. Sometimes the paintings were religious or educational, often humorous and satirical. It's hard to find original Panjska koncnica, but you can buy copies which are beautiful too.

 view coming down from the castle by blint It has English books! So does it's other branch at Miklosiceva Cesta 40 opposite the bus station. If you are looking for travel guides in English try: Kod and Kam , trg Frankoske Revolucije 7
All the books shop I went in had some English books. This made me very happy. There were also lots of Teaching books for Tefl teachers. Which was great for me as at the time I was living in a town in Spain with no English books.
A reasonable price. Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: Slovenska cesta 29

 Carolina - made by Bount by anaiis In Slovenia, you can buy the finest quilted bedding, all types of bedclothes (for children and adults), pillows, covers, sleeping bags etc. Slovene designers make sure those articles are made of finest materials. I wouldn't buy anything else, I allways look for these trademarks. This year its 70-th aniversary since Odeja was established in 1932. Odeja in Skofja Loka is our biggest bedding producing industry and they have a lot of different lines to choose from (60 percent of their products is exported to the West). It is quite interesting that entire management of Odeja is run by women! Also - there is a smaller company called Bount in Koper/Isola if you happen to be in this region. They have some nice blankets to choose from. I just recently bought one and its washable, made of pure cotton, light and great. Remember - the best way to get the best price is to buy at factories stores.
You can buy some discounted products if you want to. If buying in Skofja Loka you can have a nice trip around Skofja Loka at the same time, visit the castle that is also very interesting - solve my riddle - what is on their blazon? Visit also the telecomunications museum in the other castle!

 Tolar, Slovenian Coins by Martin_S. Here you can see the coins that the Slovenian Tolar is divided into. It is the only "legal" money. But you can often find places to take US$ or Euro. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

by anaiis Many tourist opened farms in Slovenia offer home made products! In this case, the apples were squeezed into juice one autumn day in Dolenjske Toplice (spa). You could buy 5 liters of juice to be consumed in a week or so (without preservatives), but they were selling bottled juice also - you can see the bottle on the picture with more info. I am so sorry we now run out of this juice! It was great! I think we will go to the farm for more.
Dried apple, pear and apricot pieces, wine, cheese, juice ...
For 50 euro (in Slovenian tolars) you can get nicely packed gifts for your big family. Plus 10 liters of apple juice ... Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Vrh 5, SentjernejDirections: Southeast of Slovenia
