Glamping Kolpa Resort

This is a particularly scenic area, and much of the enjoyment comes from simply taking walks or bike rides on local trails, or heading out for horse riding, fishing and watersports. Even if this sort of thing is your main focus, it’s worth making a little bit of time for an outing to Gradac Castle (five minutes’ drive), which has had quite the colourful history since it was built in the 14th century. Other easy nearby trips include the art-filled Galerija Kambič museum (10 minutes), wine tasting at Vinska Klet Metlika (10 minutes) or a stroll through the well-preserved streets of Pusti Gradec (25 minutes). Heading over the border into Croatia opens up even more options, including Ozalj Castle (half an hour), Dubovac Castle (40 minutes) or a day in Karlovac (40 minutes), which has an aquarium and a war museum as well as being a hub for activities like whitewater rafting.
