Kumrovec

The countryside is really pretty and dotted with castles and barns. This time of year they are starting to bring the animals in for Winter.
The region we travelled to is Zagorje region and we then went to lunch at a local farm/ restaurant with views of a castle and rolling hills where we were welcomed with bread and salt and honey liqueur ( a local custom)and then had a traditional feast of vegetables,, various meats including duck, pickled vegetables and cheese, red and white wine followed by blue berry liqueur and a streusel type dessert before saying hello to the farm animals… all the scraps are fed to the goats, pigs and chickens…perfect recycling 🙌
