Kozjansko and Obsotelje

Kozjansko is known for its lush forests, stunning hills and Kozjansko Regional Park, a protected area for endangered birds under Natura 2000.

Podsreda Castle, one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Slovenia, offers spectacular views of numerous hills, slopes and pristine nature. The Olimje Minorite Monastery is also worth a visit – it's one of the oldest monasteries in Slovenia, housing a rich artistic and cultural heritage. For those with a sweet tooth, a visit to the Olimje Chocolate Shop is a must. The many views of orchards, farmlands and vineyards showcase an abundance of high-quality, locally produced food and excellent wine, so be sure to make a stop somewhere along the way at a tourism farm or a wine cellar.
