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.

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.
