 bonio Says:  Attracted here by the Alma Karlin exhibition. In a beautiful old building there's displays of the history of the area and a collection of paintings, furniture etc, all moderately interesting. On the other hand really enjoyed the Alma Karlin exhibition, information about her... 

 bonio Says:  Born in Celje there's a statue of her on Krekov Trg, just over the road from the railway station.An exhibiton of her works and travel at the Regional Museum is fascinating and well worth a visit. (tip later) 

 bonio Says:  High on a mountain overlooking Celje this is a fantastic place to visit. Luckily a clear Autumnal day for us and views over the city and surrounding areas breathtaking. Castle itself is partially restored and you're pretty much free to wander around the grounds at will once... 

 bonio Says:  Lucky enough to arrive in Celje soon after the first issue of this free guide. It's given away in hotels, restaurants and also the Tourisit Office.There's lots of good local info in it and a decent map, we found it very useful. 

 Redang Says:  The Celje Municipal Savings Bank was built in neo-renaissance style by the Celje Municpal Savings Bank, and for some years, it hosted the headquarters of the administrative court for the territory of Slovenia.

 Mikebond Says:  Celje is located along the motorway and railway axis connecting Ljubljana to Maribor, so it is easy to reach it. There is at least one train every hour to both cities. This photo shows the Celje railway station. 

 Mikebond Says:  Shapes of predator birds are often sticked on transparent surfaces to keep smaller birds away and to prevent them from crashing into the glass. However, I had always seen these stickers on the roads, never at a bus stop. Celje is really a bird-friendly town! 

 CatherineReichardt Says:  The Logar valley is an enchanting place, and we succumbed to the first of its many attractions as soon as we turned into the valley and encountered a herd of these amazing cattle grazing in a field just by the road. I have no idea what breed they are, but we immediately... 

 CatherineReichardt Says:  I am not a great linguist at the best of times, and so it is disappointing (but unsurprising) that I found Slovenian less than accessible. However, there is one word that I had no trouble in picking up: 'slap', which means waterfall. It is such an onomatopoeic word (one...
