Sinji vrh is a mountain just above Ajdovščina. It's easy accessible by car and bike or you can take one of many hiking routes. The mountain itself isn't anything special, but what makes it worth seeing is the small restaurant at the top called Penzion Sinji vrh. What is so special about it? They host an artists meeting every year that lasts couple of days. And in these couple of day they make all kind of cool images, sculptures, decorate the surroundings etc.
Just 5 minutes of walking from the pension will bring you to the top, where you can enjoy in a view that would be much better on a sunny day, but we had a rare chance to witness the "weather barrier". The right side of the mountain is completely frozen and the left side towards the sea isn't. It's really cool to see a straight line on the mountain ridge between the frozen and not frozen trees.
And that's not all. You have a rare opportunity to see an authentic Pannonian farmhouse with straw roof, traditional facade made completely out of clay and wood and colored with slaked lime to get the white color. The gutters are wooden and all the water goes to the near by well. On the back there are two large stone furnaces. Why there are two i am not sure. Maybe one is for heating and the other is for cooking? Or maybe they had one for blacksmith or some kind of craft? You can't really see much of these especially not in such a good condition and well maintained!
The pension itself is know for good food (haven't tried it tho) especially for their vegetable soup and grilled lamb. You can stay over night in one of the rooms and use this barbecue!
There are some mysteries/questions left unanswered on these photos:
- why are there two furnaces?
- what do you think the sculpture means?
- have you ever seen a Pannonian house before?

Sorry! I didn't see your question at first reading =)
The art workshops should be at the end of June and beginning of July. But this information could be old.
Their web site is a bit out of date: http://www.sinji-vrh.si/ (and in Slovenian)

Hey Eva. Now that you've mention it it really looks like a face :D
It does right :D I bet it was also looking at you while you were making that picture ;) haha
I can only answer one of the questions. Yes I have seen Panonian house before. I just barely remember it. But I know we learned about those in primary school :D great post as always! The sad faces comment about crypto currencies charts really made me laugh :D
