Jezernik was a water sprite that lived in Lake Bohinj. He had a swift hand, so no fish ever got away from him.
He took
all his catch into his underwater castle. At that time, there was a poor fisherman living in Ukanc. Every day, from
dawn
until dusk, he was waiting to catch something. But that almost never happened, because Jezernik kept making such a
racket
in the water that all the fish got away. The poor fisherman was fed up with Jezernik, so he started digging a ditch
at
the lake’s shore from which all the water from the lake would run away. This way Jezernik would stay without food.
When
Jezernik heard the fisherman’s plan, he asked him to stop digging. In return he offered him a magic fishing net.
From
then on, every time that the fisherman threw his net in the lake, he pulled out enough fish for himself and for all
the
people from Bohinj.

STORY OF LINTVERN
Lintvern (Slovenian folk tale)
Once upon a time, there was a young and simple boy. He left his home in search of a better and happier life.
One day
he came upon some rocky cliffs and met an old man who told him about a difficult task the boy was about to
encounter.
The young man hears about a town and a large lake which has been terrorized by a nine-headed dragon lintvern. The
dragon
lived on cliffs by the lake and the town’s people had to feed him a person every day. The king’s daughter was next
to
be sacrificed to the dragon. So the king promised the whole kingdom and his daughter’s hand to the person that
would
kill the dragon. Many had tried, but they had all been doomed. An old man also told the boy to aim for the middle
head,
because if you cut off one of the side head, they would grow back. He gave him special powers to beat the dragon
and
one last advice – to cut off the tongues of each dragon’s heads before he left for the castle. The young man
listened
to his advice and did exactly as told. He beat the dragon and cut off his tongues. The town’s people were happy and
cheered
him as he headed to the castle. But there was another man who claimed to have slayed the dragon. He cut off the
dragon’s
heads and brought them to the king. They were both summoned before the king, so the young man showed the tongues as
proof
that he really was the one who had slain the dragon. When he proved his innocence the imposter was sentenced to
death,
the king gave his kingdom and his daughter’s hand to the young man. The boy went and brought his mother to the
castle.
Everybody was happy and celebration lasted for a whole week.
STORY OF ČATEŽ FROM BOHINJ

dark night he was cought by a shepherd that wanted to kill him. But Čatež promised to bring him a lake fairy if he
let
him free. At dawn they met near Komna, but the dwarf didn't want to keep his promise, he wanted the fairy to
himself.
The shepherd felt sory for the fairy, so he saved her and chased the evil dwarf Čatež away. The fairy was very
grateful,
so in return she planted the love for mountains into the shepherd's heart. Even nowadays, all the sheperds on Komna
and
in Bohinj are joyfull and full of love for the mountains. But just in case, stay away from the cliffs ofKomna,
because
Čatež lives there –the dwarf with horns and the thief of sheeps.

DWARF POLESNJAK
In Bohinj mountains there lived a dwarf, named Polesnjak. He wore a red hat and had a big hump on his back. He
liked
to hide in the woods and haunt loggers. One dark evening there was a farmer returning from Planina Blato to his
home
in Srednja vas. He left the trail and got lost in the woods, when he heard the dwarf Polesnjak feeling lonely and
bemoaning
his destiny. He even made an offer: »I would give a chest full of golden coins to anybody who would bring me a
wife.«
The Farmer was cunning so he hurried to the valley and returned with a bag full of straw. The dwarf filled his
chest
with golden coins – he couldn’t see the trick because of the dark. In the morning, when he realised what happened,
he
got very upset and swore vengeance. The next night he hurried to the farmer’s home and tried to strangle him. But
the
farmer was strong and Polesnjak failed. Polesnjak returned to the mountain and came back the next night. This time
he
kidnapped the farmer’s daughter. When the farmer came to beg for her life, the dwarf finally promised to release
her,
but only when he gets back all the golden coins. The farmer has to bring them to the dwarf every night, one by one,
until
they are all back. So night by night, tired from a hard day’s labour, the farmer kept returning to the mountain. He
slowly
lost his strength, got old and grey, but he never gave up. His love towards his daughter was just too strong. When
he
finally returned to the mountain with the last coin, it was a windy and stormy night. He fell on a dark, slippery
path
and died. After many years loggers found a white skeleton in the dark woods above Srednja vas. They also named a
cave
at Planina Blato – it is called Deklica (A Girl) in memory of a daughter which couldn’t be saved by her father.

Drinkability is a key characteristic of this strong beer. Its intensive citrusy, grapefruit hop aroma is
very well balanced
by roasted malt, which gives the beer dark brown to black colour. The taste of caramel is an excellent
complement
to the bitter taste.
