The source of the Krka river is just 30km south east of Ljubljana and from there it winds its way east towards the Croatian border. Along the way are a number of Slovenia’s finest attractions, including Pleterje Monastery, Otočec castle and the village of Kostanjevica na Krki both on islands in the middle of the river, and further east, the historic town of Brežice, Mokrice castle (and golf course) and several spas including Slovenia’s largest at Čatež and one of its most elegant at Dolenjske Toplice. The river itself is also something of a draw, with activities such as rafting and kayaking, not to mention swimming possible at many places along the picturesque valley. Mid way between Ljubljana and Maribor lies the town of Celje, Slovenia’s third biggest with a charming old town and surrounded by pretty hill country to the north and south and a number of spa towns.
