Activities

Most travel guides don’t mention the existence of Bohor. Don’t let that deter you. We know Slovenia inside and out and absolutely adore Lake Bohinj and the Soča Valley. Ljubljana is a delightful city. But nothing compares to the authentic countryside in these parts, in our opinion. Bohor is a region of country lanes, charming farm villages, tranquil forests and authentic rural life. The forests are home to a very healthy wildlife population, so be prepared to see animals like deer and birds of prey.

The locals are incredibly friendly, happy to see someone other than their neighbor for a change. Lastly, the climate here is particularly pleasant. Just over the Alps, we experience much less summer rainfall (30-40% less than in Kranjska Gora, for example), and the temperatures are generally a few degrees higher, while the nights cool down nicely at 650m altitude. So what are you waiting for? Immerse yourself in Rural Slovenia.

Below you’ll find a few examples of things you can do in the area. Of course, we can advise you on-site and recommend many more excursions.

Cycling

The country roads are perfect for long bike rides. But the region is quite hilly and not everyone will tackle these roads without a bit of cursing. That’s why we offer a number of electric hybrid bikes to rent at our place.

Swimming

If you ever want to try different water than our panoramic pool, there are some beautiful mountain streams nearby where you can splash around under the waterfalls. For professional entertainment with lots of slides, you can visit Termini Lasko (20 mins) or Aqualuna in Olimje (40 mins).

Hiking

The forested and rural surroundings of our estate are perfect for both short strolls and long-distance hikes. A variety of scenic trails lead you through tranquil woodlands, charming farmland, and picturesque old villages. Since not all paths are clearly marked, we’ve prepared a curated selection of routes for you. Some hikes start and end right here on our estate, while others are just a short drive away. More details and route suggestions are available upon arrival — just ask!

Adventure parc Celjska Koca

Looking for an adventurous daytrip? In half an hour drive you will reach the mountain lodge Celjska Koca. Try out the zipline, the alpine coaster toboggan run and the high-ropes-course among the treetops. Finish it off with a delicious piece of cake or a pancake in the cosy restaurant.

Water sports in the Savinja valley

It’s just an hour’s drive to the beautiful Savinja Valley, where countless options await for an active day on the water.
On its long journey from the Kamnik–Savinja Alps to the Black Sea, the river is at its most stunning here. Rafting, kayaking, or canyoning in one of the side valleys are all exciting possibilities. We’ll be happy to help you arrange your adventure.

Paragliding

Paragliding – a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many; The region around Skaluc offers several take-off points, and we’ll be happy to help you book your flight. Please be aware this is a weather-repentant excursion that can only be booked shortly in advance.

Cultural Excursions

Bohor area isn’t known for refined cultural monuments, but if you want to experience folk culture, there are nice options nearby. Dive into the history of small-scale mining, explore surprising wineries or visit ancient castles.

City Visits

Na Škaluc is situated exactly between the Slovenian capital Ljubljana and the Croatian capital Zagreb. Both are less than a 1.5-hour drive away, making them perfect for a day trip. Closer by is Slovenia’s third and pleasant city, Celje. It’s a 30-minute drive and it has a lot to offer. In the old town there’s still a lot to see from its ancient Roman and mediaeval history. It also hosts fine galleries and interesting museums for the whole family (e.g. Old Castle, Technopark Celje, Tropical House). Cities Maribor and Ptuj (Slovenia’s oldest city) are both an hour drive away and are worth a visit.
