Podčetrtek lies by the border river Sotla in the south-east of Slovenia and is a distinctly tourist municipality. Its heart is Terme Olimia, which in hotels, apartments and a campsite offers pools, saunas and programmes for relaxation and body care. But the place is much more than just the spa. In the nearby Olimje by the baroque church of the Assumption of Mary hides one of the oldest monastery pharmacies in this part of Europe, with rich painting and stories of medicinal herbs, while those with a sweet tooth can indulge in home-made Olimje chocolate.

Families are delighted by the Land of Fairy Tales and Imagination, the deer and mouflon farm and the golf course, while curious visitors are drawn by the museum of farm equipment and the museum of figurines from Kinder eggs. The surroundings are criss-crossed by a wine and tourist road with tourist farms, which serve home-grown produce, top wines and home-brewed beer. Guests can choose between cycling, walks and hikes along marked trails, past natural and cultural sights and viewpoints.

Podčetrtek delights both those who come for several days and visitors on a day's bathing or outing. Browse the accommodation, taste the catering offer and choose among the activities in Podčetrtek and the surrounding area.
