Mažijev Grič

The first thing you should do here, of course, is explore Lake Gradišče – whether you choose to walk around the shores, paddleboard across the waters or take a dip. There are also some lovely cycle routes through the surrounding villages and hills, with fabulous views along the way. For different outdoor activities, try a round at Golf Arboretum (20 minutes’ drive) or head to the adventure trails of Pustolovski park Geoss (half an hour). Places like Turistična vas Pristava (40 minutes) and Bogenšperk Castle (50 minutes) are handy options for some leisurely outdoor time, and those who are in search of a longer walk can head out to the scenic Velika Planina plateau (40 minutes to Kamniška Bistrica cable car). If you’ve not yet explored Ljubljana (20 minutes), it should certainly be on your schedule – top spots in this compact city include the castle, the pretty pink Franciscan Church and the Triple Bridge.
