About this audio guide
This guide to the Lectar gingerbread museum in Radovljica, near Lake Bled, follows Jakob Krivic, a young gingerbread maker from Tržič who married into a house on the town square in the eighteenth century. It touches a honey-dough craft first recorded in the fourteenth century, a family of twelve children, and the red mirrored hearts young men once gave to the girls they loved. Best heard standing by the workbench in the cellar, watching the bakers' hands.
