Metlika

The border town of Metlika has a turbulent and rich history marked by Turkish incursions, the first reading room as well as the first loan and savings bank in the Dolenjska and Bela krajina region. One of the most beautiful sights in Bela  Krajina are the vineyards stretching over the sunny southern slopes of the Gorjanci. The Metlika wine cellar produces the best high-quality wines, which are presented every year at the Vinska vigred festival. The lively, yet gentle rapids of the Kolpa river are sure to charm all sports and nature lovers, and inviting hiking trails lead through the region.
