History
Family, nature and a story that goes on
The story of the Zupančič family and the homestead built around the Jelševniščica spring.
Riko and Ana bought this piece of land in the early 1980s. They cleaned up the Jelševniščica spring and, step by step, built a floating homestead along the stream and above its developing banks.
