Hotel Planja - Zgornje Zrece, Slovenia     

The Pohorje pastures came into being centuries ago, when shepherds felled the forests on gently sloping ridges and turned them into pastures. The foot path from the hotel takes you through woods to Lovrenska jezera (the Lovrec lakes, 90 minutes one way), an extensive turf moor with 19 lakes, a unique natural phenomenon.

A golf course (24 km) with 9 holes is available in Slovenske Konjice to all those recreation enthusiasts who cannot imagine a vacation without golf. It lies in an idyllic environment at the foot of hillocks, which are covered with vineyards, and offers a wonderful experience of nature and complete relaxation in addition to gaming pleasures.

Not far away (24km) from the modern tourist centre Zreče, along the Dravinja river, the doors into Slovenske Konjice open up - a town with a 1000 year old square architecture.

The village of (36 km) Žiče is turning into a tourist destination with its wickerwork, blacksmith's craft and miller's trade. From there, the valley of Saint John winds with its famous monastery of Carthusian monks from the year of 1160. The experience of our imposing monument of our past is completed by the Herbalist Iršič and the oldest Slovenian inn Gastuž, which was founded in 1467.
