The lodge’s bar has an impressive stock of local wine, beer, and žganje (Slovenian brandy), and a wonderful terrace that overlooks the Krka River and our village. For itineraries with overnight excursions from the lodge, you will stay in our partner’s charming accommodations that are convenient to fishing as well as to Slovenia’s excellent food and culture.
The Krka River Lodge offers outstanding fly-fishing experiences on the world-class waters of the Republic of Slovenia.

How will I be taken care of?
Krka River Lodge will have a host with you providing logistics and general support during the trip. We will take care of getting the things you have forgotten or otherwise decide that you need, get your laundry done, get those shoes you left at the last hotel – you get the picture…
What is included in package itineraries?
Inclusions: All meals. Breakfasts are at the lodging accommodations, lunches will be either brown bag or at a local establishment and dinners will be at different locations each night. All non-alcoholic beverages. Package itinerary customers have access to the lodge’s open bar. Overnight accommodations as described. All fishing with guides (2 to 1).
Exclusions: Meals before arrival in Slovenia and after departure. Gratuities. Items of a personal nature (phone calls, excess baggage charges, etc.). Any airfare. Any other unplanned expense.
Can I get a refund on the taxes for items that I purchase in Slovenia?
Slovenia, Italy, and most other European countries allow you to recover VAT (sales tax) when you "export" an item. But you must prove that the goods actually left the taxing authority before collecting your refund. Here is a good article to help you understand: https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/guide-vat-refund-visitors-eu_en
What kind of insurance should I have to come to Slovenia?
For our package customers, we require proof of health insurance that is valid in Slovenia. While healthcare is excellent in Slovenia, we also recommend evacuation insurance. It’s relatively inexpensive and you are likely to not need it. https://www.internationalsos.com/personal-travel http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebola-virus-outbreak/evaluating-risk-do-travelers-need-medical-evacuation-insurance-n170976
What should I pack?
Since we’ll be moving a couple of times, it’s best to pack as efficiently as possible. A good planning figure is for 50 pounds of luggage, including all of your rods, reels, etc. Since there is daily laundry service available, you will only need 2-3 sets of fishing clothes (but plenty of socks!).
What is the situation with electricity in Slovenia?
Slovenia’s electrical standard is 230 volts / 50 Hz. Electrical outlets have an opening for 2 tubular pins, not flat prongs, so be sure you have an adapter that’s compatible before travel. Most modern electronic devices (including your laptop and phone charger) are capable of 220v or 110v, but you will still need the adapter plug. Be sure to verify this prior to using the 220v outlet!!!

What language is spoken in Slovenia? Can I just speak English?
Our guides and staff are all fluent in English, and usually another language like German, Italian, and Serbian. Slovenian is the official language of Slovenia – it is a Slavic language related to Russian, Serbian, Polish & Czech. English is commonly spoken, particularly by those under 55 years old. A few phrases will be useful for you. In our experience, the locals always appreciate it when you try to speak their language (no matter how poorly you do so).
Hello. Živijo. (ZHEEVEE-oh)
Thank you. Hvala. (HVAH-lah)
Goodbye. Nasvidenje. (NAHS-vee-dehn-yeh)

What is the health situation in Slovenia?
Slovenia does have mosquitos; bug spray might be needed in certain locations. Flies and other bugs may be annoying but pose little danger. The alpine sun can be a factor, so sunscreen should be worn.
