Day trips
In and around Gradenc you can enjoy peace, space and fresh air. But of course there is also plenty of opportunity to make fun day trips.
Below we list a few options.
Ljubljana
The capital of Ljubljana lies 55 km from Gradenc, a 45-minute drive. Ljubljana is one of the smallest capitals of Europe and has a pleasant car-free center with many terraces along the river "Ljubljanica".
Lake Bloško
At this beautiful lake, which is an hour's drive away, a number of people have been very creative with wood and there are many different wooden sculptures to see. There is a restaurant with terrace, playground, and you can go hiking, cycling, swimming and fishing. Recommended!
Terme Čatež
If you are on holiday with children, Terme Čatež is a must. This is Slovenia's largest water park and is a 50 minutes drive away. You can easily enjoy a whole day here with your kids because there is plenty to do.
Bogenšperk castle
One of the many castles in Slovenia is Bogenšperk Castle, a 50-minute drive away, near Litija. The castle is especially popular as a wedding location, but it also houses a museum. The castle garden is freely accessible.
Kumrovec
Kumrovec is located just over the border in Croatia at an hour and a half drive and is the birth village of Josip Broz, aka Tito. Here you can visit his birth house, which was built in 1860. The village has a total of 18 houses that have been preserved completely in traditional style and have been arranged as an ethnological open-air museum.
Velika planina
Although it is a 2-hour drive to Velika planina, it is absolutely worth it! At more than 1,600 meters high, these extensive alpine meadows with their typical wooden shepherd huts are a pleasure to walk around on. You can get there by cable car and can then continue on foot or with a chair lift. In the summer, the cows roam freely.
