Food is at the heart of this Alpe-Adria trail running adventure through Slovenia and Croatia, where every meal tells a story of local traditions and fresh, seasonal ingredients.
In Slovenia, you’ll have the chance to savor hearty dishes like žlikrofi (tiny dumplings filled with potato and herbs) and jota, a tangy stew of sauerkraut, beans, and smoked meat. Dinner by the Soča River might feature trout so fresh it practically swam to your plate, paired with farm-made cheeses.
In Croatia, the flavors of the Adriatic shine. Think fresh seafood grilled to perfection, olive oils as golden as the sunsets, and peka, a slow-cooked dish of meat and vegetables baked under an iron bell. On Cres Island, there’s a chance for sage-fed lamb and sweet treats like fig cake.
