East Slovenia
Little vineyards of the Kozjansko Hills
Full Description

Walking holidays, tours and vacations in East Slovenia

 

Where the Alps meet the plains

 

Our second Slovenian walk is at the eastern end of this jewel of a country, where the Alpine foothills meet the plains of central Europe, Austria-Hungary meets the Ottoman Empire and solid Northern Europe meets the fiery Balkans. It runs close to the Croatian border, winding from the spa village of Podcetrtek through bucolic hills and meadows to the ancient settlement of Brezice on the Sava River. 

 

This is a countryside of small vineyards lovingly tended by families with whom you will stay: and if you arrive at harvest time you will probably be roped in to help out. The wines, which you can taste with your hosts, are modest and little known outside Slovenia, but fresh and vibrant, best drunk young.

 

And why not extend your stay with a day or two in Ljubljana?
