My sons had already visited Slovenia, which they referred as "the most beautiful" of the several countries they visited. Ljubljana was special, and, travelling to Trieste area I had to plan this visit.I was perfect! Ljubljana is a nice city, easy to visit in the short time that we had. The many thing that I registered are being related in my %[http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/9eab8/a7f8f/]Ljubljana page.
Tabor grad is a small castle which dominates the hill above the town of Lasko, which is situated in the vicinity of Celje. According to the documents, it dates back from the 12th century. Later on it became the hunting hute of Counts of Celje. After being completely reconstructed, by the end of last century, nowadays it houses the best restaurant in Lasko.
Actually, I know nothing about this castle which is situated right in the centre of the town of Lasko, so I am asking for help from the friendjy Slovenian VTers.According to the structure and decorations, it might be built in the late Baroque style. It is huge cube-shaped building with spacious courtyard in the middle of it.
Medieval castle situated on the top of the hill near small town of Podcetrtek. By the time I was there the castle was closed for the public visiting. It has to be renovated. Podcetrtek is termal resort close to the border with Croatia and it offers fine and inexpensive food in a local very good restaurants.
Once mighty and huge castle town which was completelly destroyed during the centuries. This defending tower is only left part of the previous castle at Planina. The small town of Planina, or better say the village place, isn't located far from the Ljubljana but need to ask locals about it location.
This beautiful castle town is situated in the eastern part of the country, in the village of Velika Nedelja, which is near the town of Ptuj. The ethnological exibition in pituresque Velika Nedelja Castle (Križevniški grad), the only one of its kind in the region, contains almost 700 interesting and authentic items.Viewing the collection, you can easily imagine the everyday life of the people in the Orkož region from the second half of the 19th century to the present day.
Kostel Castle is rising above the Kolpa valley and it is in ruins which are renovating now. The castle was first mentioned in 1336 and had an important strategis function in this teritory. It was occupied by the Turks for a short period in 1578.Bellow the castle stands the Church of the Magi.
Grad Kamen, the Kamen Castle, is situated in the small Slovenian town of Begunje. It is only a partly preserved medieval castle with rich history, and it worth to see.In this days the major reconstruction works have beguan in order to bring back the ancient glory of the castle.
The castle town of Metlika was first mentioned in 1456, but probably it is older. The castle was built to protect the Corynthia region from the constant Turks invasion.Metlika boasts three pitoresque squares. The Bela Krajina Regional Museum in Metlika Castle presents the Bela Krajina region from prehistoric times to the middle of the 20th century.Because the first volunteer fire department in Slovenia was established in Metlika in 1869, Metlika is now home of the Firefighting Museum of Slovenia.
Although the castle is not renovated it worth to see, most of all because of its location on the top of the hill and great sightseeing.In the first written source the castle is mentioned with two names: Borl and Anckestein, both names (of Hyngarian and German origin) share the same meaning, anchorage or river crossing.The castle lies on a rocky pier over the Drava river where the Ptuj plain starts rising into the rolling hills of the Haloze region.The first written document about the castle dates from 1255, when the Hungarian ing Bela IV let Frederick of Ptuj castles Središce and Borl and the tower Tra.
