FRIENDLY COUNTRYSIDE PRICE LIST 07/08 Invigoration is for everybody If you are going on a holiday alone but don’t want to feel lonely, choose the countryside where you will be welcomed by friendly hosts. If you want to experience something new as a couple, come to the countryside “away from the madding crowd.” If you want to guarantee your children a truly new experience, send them to a farm with an attractive program for groups of children. If you are taking a family holiday, a tourist farm makes an excellent starting point for various experiences in the surrounding region. And if you want to spend a lively day or evening in good company, there are few places that will welcome you as heartily as a tourist farm. Invigoration is waking up without an alarm clock The singing of birds, the rattle of pots and pans in the kitchen, the murmur of a nearby stream, the sounds of cattle going out to the pastures—you can only experience this kind of morning wake-up call in the country. Here the sounds of nature are joined by smells, tastes, and touches of home that almost four hundred tourist farms across Slovenia have to offer you. Invigoration is a taste of home Invigoration is experiencing diversity Whether you choose to spend your holiday on a farm in the smiling Pohorje mountains, beneath the sunny Alps, beside the green Mediterranean, in the heart of the mysterious Karst region, not far from a lively city, or at an invigorating thermal spa, the abundance of possibilities will impress you everywhere you go. Would you rather taste the delicacies of organic farms or enjoy learning about traditional crafts? Are you tempted by wine tasting in a wine cellar or by a grape harvest? Would you choose a holiday where your children can get to know domestic animals, pick fruit from a tree, play with the local children, learn how to milk a cow, and make cheese and cottage cheese? Would you like to go on tours of the local forests and plains or enjoy the bustle of traditional countryside festival? You can experience all this on Slovenia’s tourist farms, which will surprise you with their variety. In the countryside you can choose between hiking paths, horseback riding, and bicycling, test your skills maneuvering a kayak down the rapids, go skiing or paragliding, play tennis, and swim in a river or in a nearby thermal pool. In the Logarska dolina Valley and in the Pohorje mountains where tourist farms have the longest tradition in Slovenia, in Prekmurje and in Dolenjska near thermal spas, in Gorenjska and along the Soča River where there are excellent starting points for excursions to Triglav National Park, in Primorska or the Karst region where the Mediterranean sun and the unique appearance of nature invite you, in Koroška where you feel the coolness of vast forests, in Bela krajina where time passes at a different pace— everywhere your hosts will greet you with friendliness and hospitality. Make yourself at home and enjoy yourself among people who will serve you the best from their gardens, fields, cellars, smokehouses, pantries, and kitchens. No matter which tourist farm you choose, they are all famous for delicacies of traditional Slovene cooking. Allow yourself to be invigorated. Choose the countryside! 116 115 114 119 117 118 120 111 108 109 112 73 74 72 71 70 107 106 110 77 69 133 113 132 124 75 80 81 76 122 121 123 130 78 79 11 12 15 14 1 24 17 16 2 25 23 18 43 41 42 46 22 19 91 92 93 90 94 52 48 49 51 58 62 63 50 54 53 57 59 61 55 56 60 67 13 20 21 3 84 68 65 4 127 129 95 66 64 36 35 128 104 89 87 88 85 86 96 83 97 103 26 5 126 105 47 44 45 125 131 82 37 34 30 98 39 8 6 32 33 29 7 9 10 27 99 31 100 28 134 135 101 38 176 102 40 136 177 154 178 179 137 155 158 157 138 156 159 174 153 175 139 143 173 142 152 172 151 171 141 140 144 161 168 160 167 170 169 146 162 163 145 147 164 166 165 149 148 150 Tourist farm International airport Regional park Spa Congress centre Casino Triglav National Park UNESCO world heritage site 4 1 5 open to guests: all year round PRI PLAJERJU Stanka Pretner, Trenta 16a, Sl-5232 Soča, tel.: +386 (0)5 388 92 09, +386 (0)41 600 590, fax: +386 (0)5 388 92 09, e-mail: [email protected], www.eko-plajer.com, www.slovenia.info/plajer D, I, EN, CRO rooms: 1/2+1; apartments: 3/2+2, 1/3+2; number of seats: 20 TUKO High season Low season S U EVCK JLR GPQ A: 17 € B&B: 21 € HB: 29 € A: 15 € B&B: 19 € HB: 27 € The Pri Plajerju farm stands near the forest on a terrace above the Soča River with a beautiful view of the valley and the mountains.
