Clean air, silence, simple food, relaxation and healthy living: it’s time for a holiday in the countryside. If you want to combine a beautiful city of art like Ljubljana with uncontaminated nature, you can choose a special country estate that looks to a more sustainable future, just outside the Slovenian capital. Here’s where to go for a rural and charming weekend!<\/em><\/h4>\n

There are many reasons to love the Slovenian capital<\/strong>: its green soul, its pedestrian heart, its artistic and cultural ferment … but also the unspoiled corners<\/strong> of nature that are on its doorstep. One of these is the Trnulja Country Estate<\/strong>. Completely surrounded by greenery, organic and eco-friendly. A magical place to discover peace, inside a huge natural park<\/strong>. The protected area of \u200b\u200bKrajinsky<\/strong> and the beautiful Jezero pri Podpe\u010di lake<\/strong> can be explored by bicycle, ebike, horseback, on foot or by other small electric means. Or you can take the bus and get in a few minutes in the heart of Ljubljana<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We interviewed Ur\u0161a Kunz<\/strong>, owner of Trnulja Country Estate<\/strong>. Here’s what he told us:<\/p>\n

How was Trnulja Country Estate born?<\/h4>\n

We bought the place in 2002. It was back then a sleeping beauty waiting for us to wake it up. It was trapped in dense, spiny branches of blackthorn shrubs. It was hiding exactly what we were looking for. With a lot of patience and positive attitude we started to clean the place and peel off all the thorny shrubs. It was this nature that gave the Thrnulja name<\/strong>, ‘trnulja’ means ‘sloe berry<\/strong>‘, the fruit of the blackthorn shrub that guarded the estate in the past.<\/p>\n

From there on we worked in project after project. First we just wanted a beautiful place to live<\/strong> in with a lot of animals as we have a love for animals<\/strong>. Later we started agriculture productions<\/strong> which we extended with time and also started a restaurant<\/strong> which we open some days and only in the weekend.<\/p>\n

While working on these projects we really liked to share these lifestyles and ideas with other people<\/strong> so we started the accommodation<\/strong> project. Now we are hosting travelers from all over the world! Thus, the Trnulja Country Estate was born gradually, from project to project.<\/p>\n
