Claus Resch Camping

Gentle little waterfalls will accompany you on a hike around Heiligengeistklamm (25 minutes’ walk). Altenbachklamm gorge (15 minutes’ drive) is another gorgeous setting for intrepid hikers, along with vineyard views from Herzerlstraße (15 minutes) and the wooded slopes in the Pohorje mountains (40 minutes). While you’ll probably be keeping your eyes peeled for passing wildlife on your hikes, Bärenhof-Berghausen (25 minutes) will bring the animals to you. There are bears across this animal park and plenty of wine taverns in the local area for activities afterwards. Or perhaps you have a more history-themed day in mind. Circled by a forest and a park with exotic trees, Grad Viltuš (35 minutes) is a 19th-century manor with Romantic architecture. Another must for history aficionados is Maribor (35 minutes), a simply gorgeous city on the Drava river with an old town, castle and museum.
