Day 9 continued - At Homestead Kekec

The owners of Homestead Kekec, Mitja (who was one of the best climbers in Slovenia in his youth) and Joži (who sailed around the world over 3 years) eventually settled here in 2001 and have lovingly restored the original farmhouse and surrounding buildings. Mitja is also a winemaker (has his vineyards near Maribor) and an incredible chef.
