THURSDAY

Our half day optional excursion today takes us for a lovely drive towards Bukovniško Jezero, an artificial lake which was originally intended for aquaculture, and later evolved in fishing and sport fishing. This Lake is also known amongst Slovenians for the energy points and relaxation points and since it is the source of St. Vid, drinking water supposedly gives you eternal youth! We continue our day by stopping at the watchtower Vinarium Lendava (extra) standing 53.3 meters tall, which offers an incredible 360° view of the colourful landscape that stretches from the settlement of Lendavske gorice, where the tower proudly stands, all the way to the river basin of Mura, and encompasses a wonderful view of the plains and hills of Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, and Austria. We proceed to Cuk Wine House (extra), were we treat ourselves to their local specialties, for example cold cuts from their farm or the rustic retaš strudel based on their grandmother’s recipe and enjoy a professional tasting of white, rosé and red wines.

FRIDAY

Today, our full-day optional excursion will take us to Pohorje, a world of extensive forests, hidden lakes, wild gorges, gentle paths, clean air and greenery everywhere. We will first proceed to Rogla, a jewel of the Slovenia mountain in Pohorje. It is also one of the most popular ski resorts in Slovenia. Then we will proceed to the world-famous 1km stunning treetop path (extra).

SATURDAY

Our half-day optional excursion, will take us to Zotter Chocolate Factory (extra), were we step into the world of chocolate and experience first-hand how chocolate is made. We go around the factory at our own pace with an audio guide giving us the most important facts and lots of additional information, featuring hundreds of chocolate samples for nibbling and tasting. We have the opportunity to also visit the Edible Zoo were we can explore the adventurous organic farm experience, where rare animal breeds live and regional fruit and vegetable varieties thrive. Later in the afternoon, we will proceed to Maribor the second biggest city in Slovenia, having a medieval centre, cobblestone streets and rich history linked to the nearby wine-growing region makes it complete different from the western cities of Slovenia. We will have time to walk around and have free time to enjoy this charming city centre.
