Just south of Maribor, this region offers a quintessential rural escape with easy access to urban comforts. Explore the Pohorje massif on foot or by mountain bike, tracing trails that lead past crystal-clear streams and panoramic viewpoints. In autumn, the landscape transforms into a canvas of gold and crimson, and the local wine cellars—especially those around Slivnica—open their doors for tastings of crisp white wines and hearty reds. Summer brings long, lazy days perfect for picnics by the Drava River or ballooning over the patchwork of fields. Winter blankets the area in snow, turning the nearby Mariborsko Pohorje ski resort into a family-friendly winter sports hub. The village of Hoče itself charms with traditional architecture, a lively cultural scene, and an annual chestnut festival that draws visitors from across Slovenia. Whether you’re savoring home-cured meats, cycling the Drava cycling route, or simply soaking in the slow pace of rural life, Hoče–Slivnica promises an authentic Slovenian experience away from the crowds.",[11,14,17],{"key":12,"value":13},"Police","113",{"key":15,"value":16},"Ambulance","112",{"key":18,"value":16},"Fire",[20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47],{"key":21,"value":22},"Do I need a visa?","Slovenia is part of the Schengen Area.
