2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

The magical plateau of Idrijske Krnice is surrounded by pristine nature at an altitude of 1000 m above sea level.

There are three underground forts on the property ''House On The Hill''. The first fort is used for a sauna, the second fort is a wine tasting room, and the third should remain a secret.

The fortifications were made between the First and Second World Wars, built by the Italian army and they are part of the Alpine Wall.

A unique opportunity to taste selected Slovenian or world wines paired with local dishes in the company of the local people.
