Pohorje and Haloze
Slovenske
Konjice–Prihova–Slovenska Bistrica–Kočno
Upon arrival in Styria, we first
stop at the Trebnik manor in Slovenske Konjice, where the house
herbalist will lead us through the herb garden, show us the herb
gallery and offer us a cup of freshly prepared herbal tea. We
will continue to the village of Prihova to see one of the most
beautiful pilgrimage churches in the region.
Our next point of interest will
be the artistically decorated Knights’ Hall as well as the
rich and diverse exhibitions in the Slovenska Bistrica castle,
where some souvenir shopping will also be possible. While
enjoying a traditional Styrian meal, we will be entertained by
an accordion player. In the afternoon, we will drive to Kočno,
a small idyllic Pohorje village, which is a true ethnological
museum exhibiting farm tools, machines and devices that our
grandparents used on farms in Pohorje. We will conclude the trip
with a tour of a local wine cellar and taste some quality local
wines.
