Chocolate Time! In addition to the regular sales and tastings of chocolate, this year there are some new highlights and treats to look forward to.
Those who have a hand massage during the festival are also entered into a prize draw to win a full body massage the non-chocolate version! Meta Solar painting using chocolate, so original and resourceful and what an eye for detail! Downstairs the centre, which is open 10am-3pm on weekdays and 10am-5pm at weekends, has a permanent exhibition, information and exhibits about the park, and a small area selling local products.
However, its the upstairs viewing room that makes this place so special. They have managed to capture the views and the essence of Bohinj lake and the surrounding mountains perfectly with the full-depth windows, relaxing hanging chairs and selection of magazines.
The only thing missing was a nice cup of tea with which to be able to sit and marvel at the views! Inside the tiny building the walls have been hand-painted with several pictures of frogs and, on a previous visit, the owner, Alenka, had begun to tell me about the reason for this and her plans for the future.
This time I noticed new chocolate liqueur, home-baked chocolate cookies, and cake pops. Nothing escapes me! In the end I managed to fit in 3 in one day, such is the benefit of living in a small country. The weather also contributed to my decision as when I awoke early on Saturday morning the skies were looking ominously gloomy and so I decided that a day out to the coast to visit the Sweet Istra Festival and to see some sunshine and sea would make a change.
