Ljutomer

Ljutomer covers the northeastern part of Slovenske gorice and represents the heart of Prlekija. Many famous Slovenians came from this area, including linguist Fran Miklošič, filmmaker Karol Grossman and composer Slavko Osterc. The people of Ljutomer have been making wine for centuries. Some of the highest quality wine sorts are made at Jeruzalem. You can also experience a wonderful view driving along the Jeruzalem wine tourist road with stops at hospitable wine shops and tourist farms. Ljutomer is also known for its delicious cheeses and hardy horses. During the summer, horse races are held at the city hippodrome.
