A holiday gift for you – a free guided experience

15. Dec. 2021
At Rogla-Pohorje Tourist Destination we are well aware of the importance and added value of guided experiences. Behind us is a successful summer season, in which, with the help of funds allocated to tourist guides by the Slovenian Tourist Board (STO), we conducted more than 200 free guided tours in collaboration with destination guides.

We presented points of interest and attractions of our destination to 4,000 visitors and because their responses were extremely positive, we decided to make this kind of experience available to those of you who are or will be visiting our destination in the winter months. We have selected some of the most popular guided tours and combined them with the destination’s best attractions, as well as with the area’s most hidden pearls. 
 

SLOVENSKE KONJICE

You have probably already visited Slovenske Konjice, but have you seen the art collection in the Town Gallery and Konjice Museum? We will start the "In the Embrace of Noble Stories" Guided tour in the Konjice Park at Trebnik Mansion and set out for a walk along the creek Ribnica creek past the houses, which tell us interesting stories (we recommend that you park your car in the large car park behind the Church of St George - Stari trg 38, Slovenske Konjice. We will stop at the Town Gallery, which was also the first home of Konjice Museum (entrance fee €3.00/person). Under the beautiful fresco we will listen the legend of the Konjice dragon and take a closer look at the gallery’s treasures. In Slovenske Konjice, hometown of Ivan Minatti, you should not miss the opportunity to pamper your palate with a cup of Minatti coffee. Yes, we’ve thought about that too! You will also be able to listen to the poet's verses. We will conclude our exploration of the old market core at the local market.

VITANJE

We are convinced that after visiting the Noordung Center of Space Technologies in Vitanje, you’ll definitely be interested in learning something more about Vitanje itself. That is why we have joined forces to offer you something extra after a guided tour of the Noordung Center (€10.00/person): a free guided tour of Vitanje entitled "In the Footsteps of the Vitanje Knights". During the walk, we will reveal the stories of a place with a rich history, take a walk around the old market core and climb to the Church of the Holy Mother of God on Hriberca. Vitanje, which seems a bit sleepy at first glance, will be appear in a completely different light with the help of experienced tourist guides, who will regale you with interesting stories. We meet in the car park in front of the Noordung Center, from where we will set off on a one-hour walk.

ZREČE

It’s hard to imagine the town of Zreče without the forging industry, which at its inception used trains on a narrow-gauge railway line to take their blacksmith products to the wider world. You are invited to join us on a guided tour entitled "Zreče – A Place of Happiness". The path will lead us past Terme Zreče to Zreče Lake and on to old Zreče, where we will take a look at the Museum Collection of the Poljčane - Slovenske Konjice - Zreče narrow-gauge railway (entrance fee €3.00/person). The latter is to be found in the only surviving railway station on this route, which opened the gateway to the Upper Dravinja Valley. There will be plenty of time to take photos beside the train that stands in front of the station. We will continue our walk at Zreče’s Forma viva, pass the Church of St Egidius and finish it at TIC Zreče, where we started.

OPLOTNICA

There are numerous interesting stories about Oplotnica, which is known as the "white town". We will start our story in Čadram, more precisely at the Church of St John the Baptist (There is a large car park nearby where you can park your car). After seeing the interior of the church, we will walk to the centre of Oplotnica. We will walk through the park, see the statue dedicated to the village’s famous musician Tine Lesjak and visit the site of the former public laundry. Across the bridge over the Oplotnica stream we will make our way to the courtyard of the mighty Oplotnica Mansion, which is connected locally with the story of the Carthusians. The restored cultural heritage building has served various purposes in the past, and during the last renovation, its true value was revealed. You are invited to take a look inside (entrance fee €3.00/person).

ROGLA

By no means should we forget our destination’s unique attraction – the Pohorje Treetop Walk! Our guides have brought together interesting stories inspired by the mighty Pohorje forest and its inhabitants. You can walk along the Pohorje Treetop Walk on your own, but for a more in-depth, educational and fun experience, we recommend you join our guides, who give meaning to the facts through fascinating stories and point out many details that you might otherwise easily miss. After a walk among the canopy of Pohorje trees, we take a short walk around Rogla, all the way to the church, and fill our lungs with fresh air. We are sure that you will leave Rogla with plenty of beautiful memories. Meeting point: at the entrance to the Pohorje Treetop Walk (surcharge: Treetop Walk entrance fee according to the valid price list).
