HOME OF THE BLACK OLM

Homestead Zupančič is located in Bela Krajina and is a part of a natural park Lahinja. It is a unique habitat of an endemic cave animal, the Black Olm (Proteus Anguinus Parkelj), which is a close relative to a famous baby dragon, the White Olm from Postojna cave. This marshland where you can still drink from the pristine spring, is also a home to a beaver couple, kingfishers, wild ducks, moorhens, many frogs and river crabs.

FAMILY 

After acquiring the land the Zupančič family cleaned up the spring and built a small dam to accumulate water. Slowly, a floating farm came to life. They raised their kids to respect and love nature, good food and good music. The son Rihard, musician and farmer later married a shiatsu practitioner and capoeirista, Chante from the Chicago.. the story continues.
