Quick presentation - The Štajerska region

roglaŠtajerska (former Styria) is a region of many facets. Here the Alpine medium mountain range pulls back to the advantage of vineyard hills and river planes. Various nature's facets, a rich cultural heritage and hospitable people guose that want to encounter the past and relax with a tea, the mansion Trebnik with its herbal kitchen is the right place to visit.

The green Pohorje with its forest reservation, an extensive pea field and 19 lakes is a true skier's paradise in winter, which hosts the women's World Cup slalom competitijice.

On the hills of Slovenske gorice, Haloze and Dravinjske gorice the richness is exhibited in the form of vine, the most precious flower of these soft undulating hills. The centre of wine growing in Slovenske gorice is Ormož, whereas Jeruzalem (cf. Jerusalem) with its holy name, energetic forces, the wine road, beauty  spots and its pilgrim church justifiably carries the name "heavenly place". At the banks of the Drava River, the town of Maribor has its roots. This town has so many particularities that it is difficult to say which the predominant one is. Is this Lent with 4ons for the Golden fox on the Mariborsko Pohorje. . If you are a health-aware person, you have to visit the thermal spa Zreče at the south hillsides of Pohorje. Ptuj is a real guardian of time. It is a town of hundreds of treasures and doors, songs and facets.

One characteristic of Ptuj is the carnival figure of Kurent, which come to life in Ptuj during the biggest Slovenian Carnival procession. On the Ptuj Field you are kindly invited to visit the thermal spa Ptuj , the mansion Dornava, Velika Nedelja and Hajdina.

On the other side of the Mura River, under the last hillsides of Slovenske gorice, the place Ljutomer – the heart of Prlekija, developed, where the first idea of a unified Slovenia originated. Prlekija is a land of vintage wines, winding terrace-shaped vineyard hills, singing rattles, thermal springs and trotter riders.
