Styria stretches from Pohorje and the Drava valley across Slovenske gorice to Prlekija. The landscape is linked by the Drava, and its character is made up of the towns along the river, wine-growing hills, plains and the wooded Pohorje.
Maribor is Slovenia's second largest city and lies on the Drava below Pohorje. On Lent grows the Old Vine, listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest vine in the world that still bears fruit. Ptuj is considered Slovenia's oldest town and preserves the Roman heritage of Poetovio, a castle and the carnival tradition of the Kurentovanje carnival. Slovenska Bistrica has a castle with a baroque painted hall.
The Slovenske gorice and Prlekija form the wine-growing hinterland of Ormož and Ljutomer, Radenci are associated with mineral springs and a spa offer. Cycle routes lead through the flat and hilly parts between vineyards, town centres and places along the Drava, while the Pohorje attracts with skiing in winter and with walking in the other seasons.
