In the east of Ljubljana in the Heart of Slovenia, you can see how modern life and traditional life go together hand in hand. Traces of a long and interesting history mark the landscape here, especially along the rivers and at important crossroads. Archaeological sites, which are scattered about the area within no more than a few kilometres of each other, offer testimony to this region’s early settlements. The area’s favourable location attracted many who would try to seize the land. Thus, many fort churches and battlefields can be found here, and legends about bandits are preserved. Unspoiled nature and beautifully preserved cultural heritage are both waiting for you. The locals will welcome you with big smiles and open arms. There is so much for you to explore: archaeological sites, numerous churches, magnificent castles, old houses, granaries, museum collections, and villages with long traditions and rich histories, all of which are a testament to life in the mountains, along the rivers, in the coal mines, in caves, in castles as well as in the city. Discover the heritage of the Slovene people – visit the still preserved homesteads, open-air museums as well as the typical kozolec and mason houses, all of which can be reached by foot, by bike, by train or by car. 6 www.dediscina.si
In the Heart of Slovenia you can also stay overnight – in hotels, thermal spas, local guest houses with tradition or in more unusual places such as for example in a hay barn on a tourist farm. You will really get a feel for the countryside once you spend a couple of days with the locals. Your heart will beat in the rhythm of the hearty people who live and work here. Taste delicious local food, wine, juice or brandy, take your time to talk with the hospitable locals, and attend one of the traditional events. Knock on the door of heritage and the door will open for you. 7
