Bee panel art: Distinctly Slovenian

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". $2-$10

no name - everywhere: fresh products

by call_me_rhia

When in Slovenia do not fail to buy fresh food products: fruits, vegetables, milk... anything. Whenever you see a sign - go food shopping. Maybe it's because of the lack of pollution, maybe it's because of the fertile ground.. I don't know.. but everything tastes much different than at home My very favourite are still the strawberries from Ljublijana veggie and fruits market very little

Most bookshops / hotel vestibules: Get the phrasebook

by Pete_Barnett

All bookshops are interesting, but beware - books are very expensive in Slovenia. A recently published book that is invaluable for any English speaking people who has little or no knowledge of the Slovene language: "The Slovene Phrase book" by Nika Fon Leben & Charles I Abramson. ISBN 961-238-045-7 It is set out in chapters according to contexts eg. In the restarant, at the train station etc. with basic vocabulary and phrases. I paid 2000 tolar (9 Euro) for mine in October 2002 from the vestbule in Austrotel, Miklosiceva 9, Ljubljana.

Farm Karlovcek: Apple Juice - Fresh Squeezed of Bottled?

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 ...
