Archaeological Park Ad Pirum – Hrušica

Hidden Gem
Prem Castle
Ilirska Bistrica, Karst & Inner Carniola
A quiet, well-kept hilltop castle with wide views over the Brkini hills and the Reka valley, and a compact museum visit that fits into an hour.
Hidden Gem
Kurent House – Ptuj
Ptuj, Maribor & Styria
Meet Slovenia's bell-hung Kurent in any month of the year. See seven Kurent outfits and a short film about the UNESCO-listed ritual in the middle of Ptuj's old town.

Vitanje, Maribor & Styria

Hidden Gem
Križna Cave
Cerknica, Karst & Inner Carniola

Hidden Gem
Rakov Škocjan Landscape Park
Cerknica, Karst & Inner Carniola
A free karst valley near Cerknica where a collapsed cave roof left two rock arches you can walk under, above a river that rises and vanishes in the same valley.
