A glance inside the Castle Prestranek Restaurant In the restaurant our chefs prepare traditional Slovenian dishes, pizzas as well as some specialities from Angus beef. Here we also organize weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries and other sorts of gatherings.

Business area In the Castle Prestranek there are several small conference room for approximately 30 persons, all equipped with all the necessary for lectures, conferences, meetings…
Horses In the property of Castle Prestranek we breed Icelandic horses and we keep stables and a ring for sport horseback riding.
This covered riding ring of 40x60m with excellent floor cover provides our horses with an outstanding stability. Ring is directly connected to stables and so provides comfort in bad weather conditions as well. Icelandic horses are of smaller growth than horses, but their nature is very kind, strong and sensible. They are known as horses that try to please the rider and they are easy to ride and most of all easy to handle. This is why they are suitable for beginners and children.
Besides horses you can also see an amazing cattle. The Castle Prestranek is in the direct vicinity of village Orehek where a farm for raising Angus beef cattle is. This is a rare example of this breed in this part of Europe.
Angus cattle is known to be outdoors all year long and is feeding with only what it finds outside on the meadow. This is why their meet is known as bio-meet.
To revive a child in us The Notranjska region where the Castle Prestranek is located, is the home of our legend of Martin Krpan. He was the strongest man ever known in this part of the world who was making his living with smuggling of English salt (gun powder). When Austrian Empire was in dangered by the giant called Brdavs, the Emperor called Martin Krpan to defeat him. And of course, he succeded. As a sign of appretiation and greatfulness the
Emperor gave him a licence to sell English salt in the entire Empire. In his honour and memory there are yearly games where we surch for the strongest man on Earth.
Development possibilities Because of its position, natural beauties and historical importance, the Castle Prestranek has a great potential for development. There have been made several projects of possible growth. Since the wide spread property, there are many options for building new capacities. One must just keep in mind that some areas are meant to be left untouched. In the direct surrounding of the Castle building there are possibilities to expand the complex. Most projects were made with a vast wellness area and congress centres. As the property would be able to take more people (our projects all include 100 – 200 rooms) so the entire touristic offer would improve. Because of the location in the centre of nature it is easy to develop a tourism that is relaxation – recreational oriented.
On the other hand, the vicinity of our capital and all other big cities (Ljubljana, Portorož, Triest, Udine, Venice, Rijeka, Pula, Zagreb, Klagenfurt, …) is also a plus when you think of congress tourism. It all depends on the investor, what kind of preferences he will have. To help you build an idea, we are attaching some drawings and photos of our Castle in its existing state. In conclusion It is impossible to list all the beauties and legends that Prestranek offers. For better image we suggest you to see the attachments, where picture of Castle Prestranek are and visit our web site: www.gradprestranek.si . And of course we hope to see you in the Castle Prestranek soon because visiting this magical land is really an adventure.
Best regards and welcome to Slovenia! Grad Prestranek d.d.
