In modern-day central Europe, it is fair to say there aren’t many legitimate old-fashioned experiences left. Sure, you can visit old-fashioned places and be shown ancient ways of life and eat the food of those long gone, but it is carefully coordinated to the finest detail. Somehow, in the 21st century, Pr’ Krač tourist farm has managed to maintain a legitimacy in its tradition. The only operating supply centre left on the Sava River, it has rightly been designated a monument of national importance. In the hands of the same family for 300 years (and 300 more to come they say), it provides traditional (there’s that word again) accommodation in an old fashioned farmhouse. Food is available at the weekends, with weekdays by reservation, but weary walkers in the weekdays won’t be shunned away, the family is always available to do what they can for the benefit of others. In our case, it was a bounty of ham and pickles with some glorious homemade bread, as well as some great red wine.
The small Galerija 19 inside also hosts the occasional exhibition of local artists, as well as less frequent live music. The park and orchard provide the setting the very definition of a romantic walk.
