Farm Stay Family Holidays

You will start your week slowly and have the first day available to comfortably settle with your kids at a tourist farm in the countryside just outside Ljubljana. A farm is a fun place, and we are sure your youngest will quickly occupy themselves with something of interest, be it farm animals or something else.

The second day is when the real fun starts. The whole family will help on the farm in a relaxed and merry atmosphere. You will participate in various farming chores such as collecting eggs, peeling corn, preparing bread, and working the fields.

The kids will learn a lot about how Slovenian farmers survived over the years and still do today. Of course, it is up to you how long you wish to help on the farm. If you want to visit Ljubljana, you can head to the city and spend the afternoon exploring its car-free city center, climb up to Ljubljana Castle, or have a boat ride on the Ljubljanica River. Fancy an ice cream?

You will leave the outskirts of Ljubljana and head toward Rogla Plateau, where a unique experience awaits. Tree Top Walk in the Pohorje Hills, an elevated metal dais running among the trees, will introduce you to the rich environment of northeastern Slovenia, covered with thick woods.

You can opt for a stop in Maribor, Slovenia’s second-largest city. Otherwise, you will drive to the Firbas farm, where you will also spend the night. They will give you a guided tour of the estate and show your kids the magic of living with nature.

We hope your kids are animal lovers because there will be lots of them — cows, horses, dogs, sheep, rabbits, and more!

After being well fed, you will have a chance to bathe in a big wooden bucket under the stars and sleep in a renovated cozy hay barn that offers all the comfort while not taking away from authenticity.

Have your kids ever fed farm animals? Everything happens for the first time eventually! They will be awake way before you, and you will serve them breakfast before you even get your own.

The rest of the day is entirely up to you. You can take the farm’s e-bikes and explore the surrounding area, drive a tractor, or freshen yourself in a pool.

If your kids are old enough, they might even want to try archery. To sum up, the day promises to be filled with fun, and in the end, you will be sad to leave the amiable owners.

Today, you will visit one of Slovenia’s most famous tourist attractions, the Logar Valley. It is typically U-shaped like all glacial valleys. A pleasant footpath leads through its entirety, ending below the tall Rinka Waterfall and steep northern faces of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

Before reaching the mouth of the valley, you can stop in Celje to visit Celje Castle, where a knight and a lady will give you a guided tour. If your kids are good-mannered, they might even let them hold a sword!

You will spend the night on a farm in the Logar Valley.

Today is when the real fun in the valley begins, though. You might take your children hiking, cycling, horseback riding, rafting, paragliding, or kayaking. Basically, anything that crosses your mind. And if these things are not up your alley, you can take a relaxing yoga class while waiting for them to finish.

You will also dine on savory local food made from home ingredients. And the valley is a great place to spend some time together as a family, having a picnic amid the green pastures and children (especially the youngest ones) enjoying absolute freedom.

After waking up in the morning, we can arrange a transfer to take you back to Ljubljana or the airport. We will adjust it to fit your schedule so you can still enjoy the last day of your holiday.
