An Active Weekend Through the Beauty of Zagorje
May 22 – Arrival & Relaxation
Your weekend begins with arrival at your chosen accommodation in the Jewel of Zagorje area – a hotel, apartment, or holiday home. Settle in, take a deep breath of fresh air, and unwind on a terrace overlooking the rolling hills.
Take a walk through the town, embrace its peaceful rhythm, and end the day with a late lunch at a local restaurant, enjoying authentic Zagorje flavours.
The evening is reserved for relaxation – whether through wellness facilities or in the privacy of your accommodation – and gentle preparation for an active Saturday ahead.

May 24 – Your Choice: Active or Relaxing Finish
After check-out… the weekend isn’t over yet.
This region is famous for its thermal water and healing mud, attracting visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy the warm thermal pools of Terme Tuhelj – especially the Water Planet, where relaxation meets fun. A full day at the pools is the perfect ending to an active weekend.
Or, if you prefer to stay active until the very end – choose cycling.
With a mapped route, explore the rolling hills of the Jewel of Zagorje and discover the “Eyes of Zagorje” – viewpoints whose scenery stays with you long after you return home. What exactly are they? You’ll have to find out for yourself. 😉
