It’s been 17 years now since I moved from the UK to Slovenia, and soon after moving here I quickly realised that the key to life and work in Radol’ca (the brand name for the main town of Radovljica and all the surrounding towns and villages) is collaboration among locals.
It is such collaboration that has resulted in a new range of experiences in and around the municipality, which offer visitors (both domestic and foreign) the chance to enjoy unique insights into the area’s traditions, cuisine and life – past and present.
Earlier today I was fortunate to attend an event in the magnificent Radovljica Manor, at which we had a chance to find out more about the new experiences that can be arranged for groups (ranging from a minimum of 4 up to groups of 20+) and meet those involved in offering various workshops and other activities, such as:
Herbal workshops organised by the Radovljica Pharmacy and Alchemy Museum.
Painting workshops with the academic painter and Radovljica resident Meta Šolar.
Chocolate tastings and workshops at the Radolška čokolada chocolatier.
Cookery workshops at Hiša Linhart in Linhart Square…
…with food cooked by the Michelin-starred chef Uroš Štefelin and his team of chefs.
Thanks, Uroš, for making something gluten-free, so I could try it too!
Tasting of Slovenian Wines at the Sodček wine bar, located at the entrance to the old town centre.
A Town of Chocolate, run by the Radovljica Tourist Board, in cooperation with the Radolška cokolada chocolatier.
Painting beehive frontal panels or making nesting boxes for bees at the Museum of Apiculture.
Decorate a Lectar honeybread heart at Gostilna Lectar.
These are just some of the ways you can experience the ‘real’ Radol’ca. More information about the above and more can be found here.
