Pomurje
The dreamy countryside along the Mura River in eastern Slovenia is a land of wide fields and rounded hills, storks and wind-rattles, floating mills, healing waters and energy points, picturesque winegrowing hills, original traditions and dialects, and most of all, a land of hospitable people, who live in Slovenia’s largest agricultural region. The towns and villages along the Mura River and its tributaries are linked by excellent bicycling, hiking, and walking trails and by several wine roads. Day-trip and tourist farms and numerous ethnographic events enable visitors to experience the unique traditions of northeastern Slovenia, and in the local “gostilnas,” visitors can taste not only excellent wines but also the characteristic culinary specialties of the region.
