Tourist Farm Zgornji Zavratnik

Farmhouse in the Slovenian Alps

On the slope of the Raduha Mountain, 850 metres above sea level, and only 15min drive to the entrance to the Logar Valley, lies the family-friendly tourist farm Zgornji Zavratnik, surrounded by mighty mountains, dense forests and mysterious caves. The beautiful nature and the view are simply breathtaking. One of the most famous Slovenian caves in the immediate vicinity is the Snezna Jama (Snow Cave), an hour-and-a-half walk from the farm.

Tourism has developed at the family-run farm for 40 years. They are proud of their traditional cuisine menu, where you can find different homemade meat and dairy products, eco-grown vegetables, homemade pasta, desserts and beverages. The delicious food on the farm respects the ancient traditions of the Upper Savinja Valley, one of the most beautiful regions in Slovenia.

The farm is suitable for families with children since there are various farm animals and a big playground, but also well-suited for those who prefer active holidays. The farm is a great starting point for cycling, walking or hiking in the mountains of Raduha, Smrekovec, Okrešelj, Ojstrico or Velika Planina.

Near the house, there are a tennis court and a volleyball court. The Savinja River and its tributaries offer many possibilities for water sports and fishing. If you like adrenaline, you may try canyoning, skydiving or climbing. 

The owners can organize guided excursions by bus through the Upper Savinja Valley and Logarska Valley. After a day filled with various activities, you can relax in a mini spa on the farm featuring a Finnish sauna, an infrared sauna and a Jacuzzi. 

The friendly hosts can also accommodate larger groups of visitors with various theme programs.
