60. KRAVJI BAL – COW'S BALL 2016
Sunday, 18 September at 10 am, Ukanc
The charm of the Bohinj valley has always been that
undefined set-back-in-time way of life, where every year
in may alpine herdsmen still go in to the high mountain
pastures to take care of the cattle, produce milk and
cheese as they have done for centuries.
As the time goes by, before we even notice, the summer
has come to an end and it is the time for the alpine
herdsmen and their cattle to return from the mountains
back into the valley. That is the time for THE FEAST OF
THE YEAR organized by the enthusiastic locals.
The event taking place on the 18 September 2016 and will
be the 60th jubilee annual festival. The place to be for the
feast will be at the Ukanc village, where we will have the
opportunity to see the big »entre« of cows returning back
from the mountain pastures followed by the gratitude
speech of the elderly alpine herdsmen. The best looking
cattle will be rewarded with a bouquet and accompanied
by presentation of local dances, food and drinks.

Bohinj has been known for alpine dairy farming and its
unique cheese for many years.
The purpose of this culinary event, one day before the Cows'
Ball in Ukanc, is to promote Bohinj and its specialties.
Whether in local inns or high in the mountain pastures,
cheese will always be the best promoter of this destination.
We invite you to take the weekend off, to enjoy, relax and
have some fun. This is a great opportunity for a gourmet
