Celje, once a town of princes, is located in the confluence of the rivers Savinja and Voglajna in the Lower Savinja Valley. The Counts of Celje, whose abode was Celje Castle, are considered one of the most important medieval families in Europe. Today, well-preserved castle buildings and remains of a medieval wall remind us of the rich history.
Due to its location and green environment, Celje is a fantastic starting point for an active getaway. Head to the nearby Celjska Koča cabin, where there’s a ski slope, summer tobogganing, an adrenaline park, and a bike park, or to one of the more distant peaks that surround the Celje Basin.
