Fašnik symbolizes the banishment of winter, which should be replaced by spring, and the renewal of nature and fertility a new life.

Gastronomy

Samobor has two important gastronomic traditions - something local must be offered and the plate must be full. Gourmets have long recognized Samobor and know what to expect. Unpretentious, indigenous, tasty, seasoned with a good atmosphere. Samobor was never closed to good influences. One thing was learned from the Germans, something else from the French, the Viennese school brought something else, the Hungarians a fourth, and today Samobor can boast of an extremely rich and diverse gastronomic offer - garlic bread, Samobor salami, mustard, bermet, mushrooms, pasta, Samobor cutlet, kotlovina, "Rudarska greblica" - protected designation of geographical origin (PGI), doughnut, kremšnita. And in addition to sarme, štrukle, fillets, buncek with greens, blood sausage, venison, boar, schnenokle, flower dumplings - and that's just the traditional part of the offer!

And if the local mood matches, you'll end up singing along with the owner and staff.
