It is renowned for the Mozirski gaj flower park, filled with thousands of different flowers and plants from late spring to autumn. Visitors can also enjoy the local fauna and various exhibits showcasing the ethnological history of the area, including a hayrack, mill, and granary. <\/p><p>Above the town are the plateaus of <strong>Dobrovlje<\/strong>, <strong>Menina planina<\/strong>, and <strong>Golte<\/strong>, where ski resorts operate in winter and hiking, cycling, and other outdoor activities are available in other seasons. Mozirje is a great place for fishing in the Savinja River, as it&#8217;s teeming with trout, salmon, and grayling. If you forget your fishing gear, the water is also suitable for swimming and kayaking, and you can enjoy a picnic on the banks.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"496\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-1024x496.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-151189 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-1024x496.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-768x372.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-1536x743.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-150x73.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-696x337.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-1068x517.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-1920x929.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-868x420.jpg 868w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1-600x290.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mozirje_1.jpg 2000w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;

Over the centuries, most visits to the settlement likely included a trip to <strong>Vrbovec Castle<\/strong>, which has stood for over 750 years, although most of its current structure was built in the late 15th century. Centuries later, the central part of the castle was removed, and today, a tree-covered courtyard stands in its place. <\/p><p>The castle is relatively flat but still an impressive structure with three round towers. It houses official offices, a wedding hall, a restaurant, and a forestry and woodworking museum. Visitors can also explore <strong>the Franciscan Monastery<\/strong> on Gradi\u0161\u010de Hill above the town, offering guided tours. The monastery library is open to the public and contains a collection of rare medieval manuscripts.<\/p><div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/featured-product\" data-edit-mode=\"false\" data-product-id=\"126636\" class=\"wc-block-featured-product alignnone has-background-dim wp-block-woocommerce-featured-product\" style=\"min-height:500px;\"><div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__wrapper\"><div class=\"background-dim__overlay\" style=\"background-color: #000000\"><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"THE SLOVENIA LAKES, Top 101 Lakes - Updated Edition (English)\" class=\"wc-block-featured-product__background-image lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/THE-SLOVENIA-LAKES-1-983x1024.png\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 983px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 983\/1024;object-fit: none;object-position: 50% 50%;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"THE SLOVENIA LAKES, Top 101 Lakes - Updated Edition (English)\" class=\"wc-block-featured-product__background-image\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/THE-SLOVENIA-LAKES-1-983x1024.png\" style=\"object-fit: none;object-position: 50% 50%;\" \/><\/noscript><h2 class=\"wc-block-featured-product__title\">THE SLOVENIA LAKES, Top 101 Lakes &#8211; Updated Edition (English)<\/h2><div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__description\"><p>The book <strong>The Slovenia Lakes<\/strong> is the most beautiful and original guide to the best Slovenian lakes.<\/p>\n<table style=\"background-color: #1c4463;width: 74.4253%;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 100%;text-align: center;padding: 15px\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;font-size: 12pt\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;text-decoration: none\" href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/the-slovenia-lakes-free-preview-updated-edition\/\">LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\">29.99<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&euro;<\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__link\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/en\/product\/the-slovenia-lakes-top-101-lakes-updated-edition\/\">SHOP NOW<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>GORNJI GRAD<\/strong><\/h2><p>Gornji Grad is a settlement long associated with religion, housing a monastery from the 12th century that served as the summer residence of the bishops of Ljubljana for many years.
