The dynamic Posavje region is known for hospitable people, rich history, and diverse nature, which provides both an active getaway as well as relaxation. The region between the Gorjanci Hills, the hills surrounding Bohor Hill, and the Posavje Hills is covered in lush forests, vineyards, and orchards. The rivers Sava, Mirna, Krka, and Sotla as well as well-preserved medieval castles leave a unique mark on the region. Rajhenburg Castle, the Posavje Museum in Brežice, the Božidar Jakac Gallery, Mokrice Castle, Podsreda Castle, and Sevnica Castle each tell interesting stories about the region’s exciting past.
In recent years, Posavje has been increasingly explored by hikers and lovers of outdoor activities. Particularly by those who love to treat their taste buds after an active day. Local culinary operators have come together under the single Tastes of Posavje (Okusi Posavja) label. Treat yourselves to a glass.
Posavje is ideal for lovers of water activities. You can enjoy many of these on the River Krka before it flows into the River Sava and on artificial lakes on the River Sava before the river reaches the hydroelectric power plant.
If you prefer swimming in pools, the largest Thermal Riviera in Slovenia awaits you at the confluence of the rivers Sava and Krka – the Terme Čatež Spa. Aquafun is available all year round, as there are no fewer than 120,000 m2 of outdoor and indoor pools and water attractions. Thermal water is pumped from 11 water holes. If you’re looking for a mountain challenge or an idea for a daytrip, head up to the 922-metre-high Lisca Hill.
