Borovnička – A Taste of the Savinja Valley
When exploring the green landscapes of the Savinjska dolina, with the Savinja River flowing through its heart, visitors quickly discover one of the region’s best-kept secrets – borovnička, a traditional blueberry liqueur.
This sweet yet slightly tart drink is made from wild blueberries that grow in the surrounding alpine forests. What makes borovnička so special is that every local farm has its own recipe, passed down through generations. Some add a hint of honey, others a secret spice, but all share the same dedication to natural flavors and careful craftsmanship.
After a day of hiking or camping by the Savinja River, there is nothing more authentic than raising a glass of borovnička with friends or family. It captures the spirit of the valley – pure nature, tradition, and hospitality in every sip.
Take a bottle home as a souvenir of your journey, and let the taste of borovnička bring you back to the Savinja Valley, long after your travels.
