Velenje

The castle on the hill

Velenje is a small town with large boulevards that was artificially build in the 50s. Two town is not anyhow exceptional. A small historical centre and the rest looks like an ordinary suburb. However, two things you will notice. The first one is just ginormous gorenje factory that just suddenly appears in the middle of nowhere. And the second one is a small yet beautiful castle that takes place on a steep hill above the town. The very exceptional thing about this castle is a great museum. It is just packed with great artefacts. But more on this will be in the next article.

A panorama with a church

We went to a small walk with friends to the centre of Maribor. The walk was on the riverside of Drava which is really beautiful place. I think the most beautiful place of Maribor.

Trip to Murska Sobota and Lendava

Murska Sobota – Monument of the Soviet Army

Murska Sobota and Lendava are two small towns that are on the way to Hungary. We went there one freezing afternoon just not to be in Maribor.

Lendava was much nicer small town at the border of Hungary. Everything there was written in both Slovenian and Hungarian. And what more – their dialect was much better understood for us than in Maribor or other parts of the country. It was more like Slovakian. Sadly we came too late (at about 4 PM) to catch the castle opening hours, but the view was great.
