Ever wondered what a typical autumn Saturday looks like for a local beekeeper? Come and experience it for yourself.
Your day begins with a visit to a family-run beekeeping farm, where you'll discover the fascinating world of bees, learn how honey is produced, and explore the flowers and landscapes that shape its unique flavours. Afterwards, enjoy a tasting of homemade honey and other local delicacies.
Next, gather around the table for a traditional family-style lunch featuring roštilj (barbecue), local drinks, and coffee: a chance to slow down, share stories, and experience Croatian hospitality.
To end the day, we'll take a gentle walk through the rolling hills of Zagorje, soaking in the autumn scenery, enjoying panoramic views, and capturing a few memorable photos before heading home with new friendships, lasting memories, and a deeper connection to rural Croatia.
Schedule:
The experience is scheduled for Saturday 10th of October, 2026.
The meeting point is Klanjec. If you need help getting there, we'll provide information on public transport, connect participants interested in carpooling, and explore private transport options when needed.
In the morning, we will visit the family beekeeping farm, learning about its history, family traditions, and beekeeping techniques, as well as about the surrounding nature. The visit continues with a honey degustation and, later, lunch. The full visit and lunch will take about 3-4 hours.
