    Ghf Riepl is a charming spot with great sun deck, good food & friendly hosts. Note: only 3 rooms for rent.
    En route to Riepl, a stop at Sadovnik memorial museum is worthwhile. The memorial is being expanded to a museum that tells the story of a partisan farm family, massacred in the closing days of WWII. Very moving exhibit.
