    FIRST TIME in SLOVENIA! 🇸🇮 – Exploring MARIBOR and eating the BEST Slovenian FOOD

    In this week’s travel vlog we visit Slovenia for the first time. We explore Maribor and eat the best Slovenian food.

    We start our day at Malca Mimogrede, where we eat delicious Slovenian soup and dumplings drink local wine. We admire the city and can’t believe how beautiful Maribor is. We stop at Hiša Stare trte where the oldest vine in the world is located. At Pekarna & Fast Food Bajro we enjoy some Slovenian desserts, such as the famous Bled cream cake. We only walk a few steps down the road before finding another Slovenian food staple at Pri malem Karlu: Štruklji. We devour a sweet version with juicy blueberries. We admire the Basilica of Our Mother of Mercy and Maribor Castle. We also get to witness the Slovenia Carnival Kurentovanje. Finally, we end our day La Cantina where we eat local meat and cheeses with lard dip, Istrian pasta and a Pizza with Styrian toppings.

      Slovenian is understandable its kinda like Serbian language will ar least some words… I'm sure you'll come across some words that Latin Serbian or the meaning in Serbian but in Slovenian language… I'm not sire i might be wrong at least that's what i been told..

      Dough for žlikrofi is actually made with potatoes so it’s less pasta and more like gnocchi, that’s why it reminded you of pierogi. Thanks for showing us the places, going to Maribor from Ljubljana once a year for the Lent festival, we always go to the same place, this year we’ll have some options! 🙂

      After living in Hungary for a few years, we visited every neighboring country, apart from Slovenia! We are happy that has changed now because we truly enjoyed our time there! 😊 Most people seem to only visit the capita Ljubljana, but we really feel that Maribor shouldn't be missed. The city was beautiful and the food was delicious. Since we couldn't find many Slovenian restaurants in Maribor, let us know in the comments which traditional dishes we need to eat in the future. In our next video, we'll be in another Slovenian town (a very cute one), so stay tuned! Thanks for watching🙂 – Brandon & Anja

      Orange wine also known or amber wine, is a type of wine made from white grapes where the grape skins are not removed, as in typical white wine production, and stay in contact with the juice for days or even months.This contrasts with conventional white wine production, which involves crushing the grapes and quickly moving the juice off the skins into the  vessel. The skins contain color pigment,   and tannins that would normally be considered undesirable for white wines, while for red wines skin contact and maceration is a vital part of the winemaking process that gives red wine its color, flavor, and texture.

      02:26 hmmm, i am from Serbia, one of former republics of former Yugoslavia, Slovenia is also one of it. I didnt know slovenian food is more like russian food then serbian. We do not have that dishes in our couisine but russian has something simmilar like this soup and like this main dish.

      17:30 Greatings from Serbia, small mountian vilage in central Serbia. Slovenia is mutch more like Austria then Serbia. They are just our cousins, Slavs, but mentality is completely different. Serbs is more like a Balcans, like mediteranian people. Slovenian are more like Germans. About food. Lot of Serbs, Bosniaks, Croats living in Slovenia, this is one of reaosons of lot of restaurants with serbian, Balcan food. Architecture is very simmilar to northern Serbia but buildings are in better shape and cities and towns are cleaner. Ok, Serbia isnt dirty but Slovenia is proclamed as the most cleanest country in Europe couple years at row + Slovenia is proclamed as a ecological state, whatever it means. Sorry, my english isnt so good.

      "Potica" (rolled dough Slovenian cake), "Kranjska klobasa" (Carniolan sausage) and "Prekmurska gibanica" (Prekmurian layer cake) are the 3 dishes that you deffinitely shuldn't miss next time you're visiting. Potica is almost the most traditional, you can get it with plenty of fillings, but we eat the most of Potica with wallnutt filling. Meanwhile Kranjska klobasa and Prekmurska gibanica are also under protected geographical indication, which means that they have to be produced according to the rules (there sholdn't be any variations in recepies).
      I'm glad you enjoyed in Maribor, and it's also good for us to look at a video like this, to see how tourists are seeing our city and all the things we're used to, but definitely shouldn't be!
      Thank you both for remembering me in what a beautiful place I live.

      There are many domestic inns in Slovenia, which in the Slovenian language are written as "krčema", "gostišče", but most of them have the title "gostilna", which of course means an inn, for example, "gostilna pr'šestic" and almost everywhere you will find very, very tasty food. You won't go wrong if you go to local environments that are not exposed to tourism, but are located in some village, hills and the like. If you have the chance to find au gratin pancakes with cheese, grape slices and vanilla cream, baked in a bread oven, I advise you to try them. Enjoy the beauty of Slovenia.
