A landscape so rich - with water resources, animal species, forests, fields and vineyards. Named even the most beautiful in Europe and protected by UNESCO. It hides thousands of excursion opportunities that will delight all generations. You can be active, casual or cultural. You can taste the flavours of local wines and excellent home-cooked dishes. You can discover the legends of counts and bandits there. You can climb a hill or even a tower. And you can just sit and enjoy the moment while listening to the sounds of nature while lazily chewing a grass stem from the nearby meadow.
Where you breathe in the fresh air, feel the purity of nature that surrounds you and discover the rich cultural heritage giggling from around the corners and curves. You can walk on foot or explore the horizons with bikes. You can choose from forest paths winding under the shadows of mighty canopies, or paths that guide you from story to story – from the lovelorn Counts and the mischief of the bandit Guzaj to passionate winemakers and chocolatiers.
