Experience Slovenia’s most beautiful and best preserved medieval town, enjoy the natural beauty of Poljanska Dolina and feast on honey and honey products.

During your visit to Škofja Loka you can see the locations in which the famous Škofja Loka Passion Play – inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity – takes place every six years. You can exercise your fingers making traditional Škofja Loka honey breads at a baking workshop, visit the town centre and sample local specialities.

After lunch, you will visit the picturesque valley of Poljanska Dolina, where you will sample the honey and other products of local beekeepers, learn about the giants of Slovene Impressionism and have a go at painting a beehive panel.
