biggest friends guests hills iron oldest shops tourist town trip

Maribor with a little less than 115,000 inhabitants developed in the foothills of Pohorje. It is considered the second most important centre of Slovenia. It boasts the oldest vine in the world, which has been growing by the Drava River for more than four centuries. Along the Drava River which has always marked the life of Maribor, there is the picturesque and lively Lent and there you can take a trip on a raft. Extensive vineyards, which rise from the edge of the town over the hills of Maribor, are interwoven with more than 50 kilometres of wine roads. These roads are sown with wine shops and tourist farms, which with their homemade wine and food, entice ramblers, cyclists and friends of the iron horse. The wine roads begin their way up the hills right from the city streets, where guests can visit the underground city cellar, which is one of the biggest and oldest classical wine-cellars in Europe, to taste selected wines.
