South-East Slovenia – Castles, Rivers, and the Heritage of Cviček

The South-East region, dominated by the Dolenjska area, is a land of ancient forests, emerald rivers like the Krka, and hills dotted with traditional 'zidanice' (vineyard cottages). Here, luxury meets history: medieval castles transformed into boutique hotels offer royal stays, while millennial thermal springs rejuvenate the spirit in stunning natural settings.

Royal Wellness and Exclusive Viticulture

The region's icon is Cviček, a unique, light, and refreshing wine that is the pride of local winemakers. For a fairy-tale experience, Otočec Castle, situated on a small island in the middle of the Krka river, represents the pinnacle of Slovenian hospitality. Additionally, the world-class wellness centers of Dolenjske Toplice and Šmarješke Toplice offer modern medical and spa treatments in elegant environments.
