Podvelka

About Podvelka

The town of Podvelka is known as the home of foresters who once transported timber down the Drava River for trade. Today, the uninhabited steep hills are a true paradise for visitors who love peace, the freshness of nature, and clean forest air. The town is surrounded by small villages with beautifully maintained village centers. Particularly charming is Kapla on the northern side of the Drava, whose position on the ridge offers an excellent starting point for hikers, while Ožbalt and Brezno provide good entry points for cycling routes and rest areas for motorhomes. Lake Odomovo, located on Kozjak, is the final destination for many hikers seeking refreshment after a walk, as well as for those looking for peace, birdsong, fishing, and picnics in nature. In addition to sightseeing, you can enjoy interactive presentations of traditional crafts in Podvelka, such as the Blacksmith's Workshop at Kovačija pri Kovaču, where you can create your own symbol, or explore nature's treasury at Linca in the Kozjansko area.
