The path takes us around Bela krajina and reminds us of the times during the
National Liberation Front from the Second World War.

gora – Črnomelj – Dobliče – Stari trg ob Kolpi – Vinica – Dragatuš – Adlešiči

The path is marked by a variety of Bela krajina’s nature and on your way you

PATH TO TRDINOV VRH
 Direction: Metlika (Pungart) – Berčice – Grabrovec – Bušinja vas – Ravnace –
zavetišče – Mali Lipovec – Trdinov vrh. The entire walk takes seven hours,
while the walk from Suhor to the top takes five hours and a half, and four
hours from Jugor to Trdinov vrh. The path to Suhor runs among vineyards, the
picturesque forest and the colourful nature of Bela krajina. |
EDUCATIONAL PATH ZDENC-VIDOVEC, BOŽAKOVO
 On the edge of Bela krajina karstic flatland and east of the village Božakovo,
we can find two magnificent karstic caves Zdenc and Vidovec. Božakovo stretches
alongside the river bank, where Kolpa has carved its way deep into the river
valley with a high Magdalenska rock. We strongly recommend a visit to the Baroque
church of St Magdalena. The spring cave Zdenc with a statue of Our Lady of
Lourdes is one of the most extraordinary spring caves in Bela krajina, revealing
the once strong bond between people and karstic springs. The spring flowing
out of the cave under the village was dammed by the villagers, and the 78 metre
long spring cave stretches behind the fenced entrance. The cave Vidovec, 270
m, is the longest water cave in Bela krajina, parallel carved by the brook
Vidovec. The entire walk takes one hour. |
URBANOVA PATH
 Not many people have heard of the village Grabrovec, marked by the church of
St Urban, the patron of vine. The Urbanova Path begins in Metlika, and through
vineyards, forest and fields leads us to the church of St Urban. Every May
and the New Year’s Eve, the locals organise a traditional party near the church.
A similar landscape takes us back to Metlika and concludes the 6.3 km long
path. |
| CYCLE PATHS |
| Bela krajina offers numerous cycle paths, which are very appropriate
and popular due to natural variety of the terrain. Several natural and
cultural sights can be encountered along these routes. The cycle guide
booklet includes technical details of the marked routes and interesting
locations, where you can you can take a break, have a rest and freshen
up. |
| BOATING ON THE RIVER KOLPA |

Slovenia, guarantees an unforgettable experience. It does not only offer
swimming and sunbathing on its banks, but also various sporting activities,
such as boating, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, fishing, to name just a
few. Along the stream of the river you can find a friendly tourist offer. |
