Brežice

0% GREEN Kaj to pomeni?

Welcome to the confluence of worlds. Rounded hills in the extreme southeast of Slovenia, the outskirts of Gorjanci, the green world at the confluence of the Krka and Sava rivers, geothermal water springs, vineyards, and castles. A wealth of vibrant social life, natural and cultural heritage, where you can discover the unique world of ‘repnica’ caves above the bottom of the Pannonian Sea. This is really a place where different worlds meet. 

In the protected old town centre, an architectural gem steeped in history, visit the Water Tower Brežice and the Posavje Museum Brežice. Or immerse yourself in the green, or rather, colourful world of the protected bee-eater bird, which nests in sandy walls by carving out small hollows. Whether on guided tours, thematic experiences, hiking trails, or in the thermal paradise of Terme Čatež, everyone will find something to enjoy.

Food and drink come together in a unique way in this wine-growing region of Bizeljsko-Sremič, which offers not only excellent wines but also the unforgettable experience of ‘repnice’ caves carved into quartz sand that now serve as wine cellars and stand as a remarkable example of cultural heritage. While exploring local products and services, be sure not to overlook the collective brand Brežice Selection, a symbol of quality and tradition that reflects the culture and lifestyle of the people in this destination.

Green good practice

  • Collaboration with the Faculty of Tourism on the development of strategic documents and a carbon footprint measurement program
  • Availability of products from the ‘Occupational Activity Centre’ (such as house- and camper-shaped souvenirs) for purchase at the Tourist Information Centre and City Hall
  • Organization of several smaller zero-waste events, replacing the previous multi-day mass event
