Wellness Adventure

The unspoiled nature of three colorful and diverse valleys, with an extensive network of rural and mountain roads and trails, offers numerous possibilities for exploration and active experiences. Welcome to Koroška!

BODY + SOUL (MIND) + CULINARY = RELAXATION

DAY 1: CYCLING THROUGH FORMA VIVA CITY

Before arriving in Koroška, you will choose your accommodation. You can opt for an idyllic farm tourism stay in the middle of the mountain village of Šentanel, where you will be pampered with local cuisine and feel right at home. If you wish to spend your holiday in Ravne na Koroškem, a youth hostel is available, just a step away from the city center. This is the first Slovenian youth hostel, designed as an architecturally unique low-energy wooden building, adapted to the natural and bioclimatic conditions of the surroundings.

For more discerning guests, a hotel is also available in the heart of Koroška, from which numerous experiences are only a few kilometers away. In the immediate vicinity, you can admire natural beauties and cultural sights, while the center of Ravne na Koroškem is just a pleasant walk away.

Once you are comfortably settled, it will be time for action and adventure. You will embark on a guided cycling tour of Ravne na Koroškem and its surroundings. The town, primarily known for its ironworking tradition, also offers beautiful views, green surroundings, and an interesting cultural heritage. You will stop by the urban sculptures of Forma Viva and the central library, housed in a former hunting lodge, and your guide will introduce you to many other local attractions.

In the afternoon, you can relax in the outdoor Olympic swimming pool or the wellness center of the Ravne Sports Center. You will conclude the evening as true gourmets, as we invite you to a typical Koroška restaurant with the magnificent ambiance of a century-old inn in the center of Ravne.

One of the characteristics of the people of Koroška is their great respect for tradition. We preserve our dialect and old customs and habits. Therefore, it is not surprising that many old folk dishes have been preserved in Koroška, which are still prepared today, especially on farms. You will also be able to taste some of these traditional specialties.

Overnight stay – you will sleep, as the people of Koroška say, “like a log.”

DAY 2: SPORTS DAY IN THE LAND OF KING MATJAŽ

After a hearty breakfast, you will head to the land beneath Mount Peca. If you feel guilty after a somewhat heavier dinner, you can burn off some calories on a sports-filled day.

Early in the morning, you will embark on a hike up Peca, which rises 2,125 meters above sea level. The ascent takes approximately two hours, and you will be accompanied by a guide from the Karavanke Geopark. A visit to King Matjaž’s cave near the hut below Peca is almost mandatory. According to legend, King Matjaž and his army took refuge under the mountain, where he still sleeps, waiting for his beard to wrap nine times around the stone table.

The state border with Austria runs along the ridge of Peca, and wonderful views open up from the summit. Thus, you will find yourself in the heart of the Karavanke Geopark, which extends on both sides of the Slovenian-Austrian border.

After returning to the valley, you will drive to Črna na Koroškem, the birthplace of our most successful alpine skier, Tina Maze. A special attraction awaits you there – a descent on a steel cable, or zipline, which you can try for an additional fee.

Then you will slowly return towards Ravne na Koroškem. The evening will be dedicated to exploring the town independently or relaxing in the sports center with pools and wellness facilities.

Overnight stay.

DAY 3: LAUGHTER-FILLED POHORJE

The last day will be fun, relaxed, and a little different. The youngest will travel back in time through play, while adults will be treated to activities that will awaken good cheer, relaxation, and childlike joy.

Animators will take care of the youngest, introducing them through laughter and play to a former important activity – logging, or working in the forest – and taking them on an exploration of the Pohorje forests.

Then, you will all go for a walk through the Pohorje forests, listen to the wind rustling through the treetops, and take time to connect with nature and yourselves.

Yogic walking will relax you, and laughter yoga will ensure plenty of good cheer. In laughter yoga, the body reacts similarly to laughter, whether spontaneous or conscious, thus such practice promotes relaxation, well-being, and positive energy.

After all the activities, you will be quite hungry, so you will refresh yourselves in one of the typical Koroška restaurants. After a delicious conclusion, it will slowly be time to say goodbye to Koroška and head home – with a smile on your face and a desire to return soon.
