Zagorje is covered by fog, it's cold, but mulled wine can warm up ones cheeks and stomach. These are the days of merry festivities in wine cellars, of young-wine tasting, the days of apple-strudel and preparations for the New Year celebration. These are not the days for making excursions – the weather conditions are not favourable. However, I invite you to take a journey with me – a journey to the mid 19th century, down to the land of memories of an old teacher from Zabok.
