How it was?
The conference was held at Hotel Well, where we were staying. Two OPGs were also visited, one that produces flowers and the other that produces pumpkin oil. There was also entertainment. In the Mihanović castle, a welcome party with a disco jockey and a festive dinner in the Zelenjak restaurant. All in the excellent organization of Gospodarski list and numerous sponsors.
The spa itself is currently being renovated, but it was possible to swim in the large indoor pool, which has a part outside as well. Although the hotel was full of people, the pools were not crowded at all. There was no time for saunas and massages. For those who do not know, the creator of the Croatian national anthem, Antun Mihanović, lived in the castle. The national anthem has a monument right next to the Zelenjak restaurant.
