When I was uploading photos from Maribor on my Facebook profile I also found photos from our last visiton tourist farm Stern. What a shame that we can't visit this beautiful tourist farm every day and stuff - you know what I mean. Visiting Maribor just twice a year means squeezing way too many things into an already packed holiday schedule so we usually come back to England totally exhausted and half-satisfied as there's never enough time for all the attractions.
I think Maribor is a very, very lucky city. It is surrounded with beautiful nature and a mind-boggling number of tourist farms. Farm tourism is a national obsession in Slovenia. It is a pure joy having a Sunday lunch in one of these farms around Maribor. They all offer traditional food and excellent homemade wine. People are extremely nice and all the farms are very kids friendly.
Tourist Farm Stern - Pri Kovacniku in many aspects stands out as a tourist farm. Its location is Pohorje mountain but still not far away from Maribor. You need a car to get to the tourist farm but trust me, the views alone are worth the effort.
OK, there's mouthwatering food and homemade wine but the whole place gives you this homely feeling that we all yearn for. Beautiful garden, animals, plenty of space for children to play safely and then fantastic traditional food - food to die for. Homemade food of the highest quality and absolutely freshly made, and award-winning homemade wine are the main reason why guests need to book a table at this Tourist Farm weeks in advance.
And when you are finally lucky enough to get a table, the excitement really kicks in. :)
Did I say that tourist farms are much cheaper than regular hotels and restaurants? A regular meal for three people normally comes at $50 and that is far less than most of restaurants.
