Ajdovščina

Pristine nature, an abundance of clean drinking water, fresh air, and an authentic lifestyle are the four green pillars of the town of Ajdovščina, the second largest town in the Vipava Valley. Their traditional lifestyle is a guarantee for a green future rooted in a clean environment, well-being, healthy crops, and excellent local cuisine. Ajdovščina is uniquely different. All year round.

This picturesque wine-growing region is a heaven for culinary and outdoor enthusiasts. Stroll through the charming village of Vipavski Križ or visit the torrential Hubelj river and its spring. For an amazing experience of unspoilt nature, take a hike from Ajdovščina to the Otlica natural window, a natural bridge, offering breathtaking valley views. To top it off, you can also relax in three galleries, the most famous of which is the Pilon Gallery.

Relish Ajdovščina’s culinary delights, known for its outstanding wines, and taste the ancient local varieties like Zelen and Pinela. With a little luck, you will find even rarer domestic varieties. Enjoy the traditional sweet Vipava ‘štruklji’ and ‘jota,’ a sour turnip stew with potatoes, beans, and dried meat, at local farms or during osmica open-door events.
