Meet a Highlander
Stop right next to the Ljubljana-Zagreb highway, on the border with Croatia, and discover a hidden Slovenian gem – the plateau hills of Gorjanci with its diverse traditions. Let your imagination fly and go on an unforgettable experience of the old days with your family, friends or alone.
Surrounded by a picturesque landscape of vast forests, vineyards, rivers and thermal waters, discover the Highlander Life, that of a typical inhabitant of Gorjanci in the Middle Ages.
