Natural Crafts Maribor

One of the easternmost parts of the Slovenian pre-alpine massif. It is also a major ski area, less than 10 km from the centre of Maribor. A large number of sports activities are practiced here, such as mountain biking, snow sports, hiking and snowshoeing. Here, nature becomes a playground that should be treated with great respect. The resort of Mariborsko Pohorje is known all over the world for organizing the famous international women's slalom race, the Golden Fox.

Here once stood Maribor Castle, which was completely destroyed in 1790. Today it is one of the best spots in the city for walking on sunny days. The footpath, about thirty minutes from the railway station, allows access to the top of the hill without major difficulty. It offers a breathtaking panorama of the country's second largest city and above all of the variety of the surrounding countryside between wine hills and deep plains. A true haven of peace in the middle of nature and a stone's throw from the city.
