Program Details

We are a farm stay and restaurant that receives lots of tourist yearly, especially during the summer. Visitors come to experience and relax in nature in Germenj-Shelegur National Park. At an altitude of 1,000 meters, the cleanliness of the local nature can be seen in the tracks of wild animals like bears, wolves, pigs, and deer deep in the forests. But don’t worry - these animals keep their distance. You will enjoy traditional and high-quality local dishes at the farm. There are also many domesticated animals; not only cats and dogs of your hosts, but also sheep, geese, ducks, horses, cows, goats, bees, and even trout. Find inner peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You will enjoy traditional and high-quality local dishes at the farm.
