Slovene language "osem" which means "eight" and dates back
to the times when the region was under Austrian rule: farmers had to
ask for a
special licence to sell there products for "8 days". If you are in
the Carso you may notice hand-made wooden signs with a branch of leaves
(called
"frascha") indicating the direction of the osmiza's location. You may
