"Days of Grapes: Eastern Slovenia" Maribor by richiecdisc

Maribor Travel Guide: 364 reviews and 904 photos

Though northeastern Slovenia may lack the spectacular scenery of the rugged northwest, it offers a gentle beauty and calm grace that will not be lost on all those who stray to venture there; for in this land of rolling green hills, draped in grape vines, lies the ingredients that make for great discovery. Around every corner is a small town with narrow streets to wander, devoid of tourists; countryside where you will be greeted as rare visitors but welcomed as near family. Add to this mix, Maribor, a “big” city rival of Ljubljana, which effortlessly combines modern day conveniences with a pastoral relaxed feel, and what you have is a gem just waiting for your polishing.

Unfortunately, eastern Slovenia is somehow forgotten corner of the country but you had an excellent guide to bring you there and show you around. I enjoyed your wine and culinary tour! :) Oh, those green things, they might be kind of pumpkins.

Maribor looks nice enough, but I found the people to be most unfriendly

To my chagrin, we did not make it to eastern Slovenia. Too bad, it would have been fun.
