Another day with BIG BERRY partners


On Thursday 28. June, we continued exploring Bela Krajina and the BIG BERRY partners with Max and Oksana from Drink Tea & Travel. We started the day by visiting the Krupa river spring close to Semič. Though it was a rainy day, the turquoise water looked beautiful as always. The spring of Krupa river is the perfect place to take stunning nature photos as the view is just absolutely beautiful!

After enjoying the views at Krupa spring, we were warmly welcomed for lunch at Domačija Šrajf. The owner Sonja Škof told us about the lunch they had prepared for us from pasta, chicken and vegetables all homemade and from local products. After eating she took us around the yard showing the old machines used for farm work, and across the street we visited their old houses working as a museum. The houses show how the life in Bela Krajina region was decades ago with dozens of different household items.

Our third partner for the day was Domačija Kuzma that show visitors how flour was made in the 16th century from dozen different cereals. During our visits we were introduced to the story of the mill, the techniques used in grain milling and the whole history of producing flour. Domačija Kuzma’s mill is full of interesting items and stories about life decades ago.

We ended our partners tour today with fish dinner at Kmetija Zupančič. The simple and delicious dinner consisted of grilled trout, potatoes and salad, all local of course. Zupančič’s farm is truly a unique place because it is the only place in the world where you can see the black cave salamander which was discovered in Doblicica and later in the spring of Jelševnik, 300 years after the white olm.
