Prlekija - Slovenian Tuscany

The Prlekija region of Slovenia reminds many people of Tuscany because of its rolling hills covered with terraced vineyards. It is situated on the border with Croatia and Austria, picturesquely stretched between the Mura and Drava rivers. Its main city is Ljutomer, the heart of the country's most famous wine region.

There is a restaurant on the campsite that many guests remember with bliss in their eyes, returning to the moment when they were sitting at one of the tables. The menu includes standard and safe dishes such as dumplings, as well as dishes for connoisseurs, such as stuffed stomach. There is also no shortage of sweetness in it. It is worth trying the pride of Prekmurje , or "gibanica", considered the national dish of Slovenia . It is best to order local mead or local wine with your meal. The choice is wide, from a white semi-dry called Renski Rizling, through dry - or in better years - sweet - Šipon (furmint), to light red Cviček.
