The flavors of Slovenia
Slovenian food, like the landscape of this country, is very diverse. Slovenian cuisine is often a combination of Austrian, German, Hungarian, Italian and Balkan dishes . The seaside cuisine is primarily fresh fish, squid and mussels seasoned with piranha salt and herbs. We can try all these unusual dishes while relaxing at Camping Terme Lendava. Order žlikrofi from a local restaurant, which resembles Italian ravioli, contains pork, onion, herbs and is seasoned with a butter-based sauce.
When you go on a tour of Prekmurje, organized by Camping Terme Lendava, it is worth tasting the local delicacy in the east of the region. It is a meat dish preserved in wooden tünkach with fat and bacon. The cuisine of this area is inspired by Hungarian dishes. In the restaurant of Camping Terme Lendava we can also order another delicacy of Prekmurje - a fast filling but very delicious bograč , which is made of three types of meat, spices, wine and potatoes. For dessert, be sure to choose gibanica , a Slovenian dessert that consists of several layers of shortbread, separated by poppy seeds, cheese, nuts and apples. When traveling in Slovenia, you must taste the local wines.
We get to know Prekmurje
While relaxing at the campsite, it is also worth getting to know the nearby Lendava a little better. It is a small but very charming town. The largest and most famous monument of this town is the 18th-century castle , which was the property of the Esterházy family. Currently, it houses a museum and gallery. There are also two churches in Lendava - St. Catherine of Alexandria (built in 1931) and the Lutheran church. Moreover, there is also a Jewish synagogue.
Another interesting place in the Prekmurje region is the town of Grad , which is home to Slovenia's largest castle . This baroque pentagram-shaped structure has 365 rooms and was built by the Knights Templar. A medieval forge was discovered on the slopes of the castle hill. Currently, there is a museum of regional history in the chambers of the castle.
Italy, Croatia, Spain ... are the countries I would like to come back to every summer. I like to discover new places, whether it is a bustling capital city or a quiet town on a mountain slope.
