Beautiful city Maribor
beekids, 20:56h
In this blog we would like to present our beautiful city Maribor and its surroundings.
Maribor is the second largest city in Slovenia with around 100,000 inhabitants.
It is pleasantly small with a homely atmosphere and lodged in the wonderful nature of Pohorje on one side
and wine growing hills Kalvarija and Piramida on the other.
We say Pohorje is the lungs of the city. Pohorje is an ideal place for hikers, cyclists, adrenaline seekers as well as lovers of the tranquillity.
It is known for women's slalom and giant slalom races for the Alpine Skiing World Cup known as "Zlata lisica" (The Golden Fox). Pohorje offers a beautiful view of the city.
The river Drava runs through the city. It is also our link to the project, as it flows into the river Danube.
Maribor is a green city with a lot of parks that citizens use for relaxing after a busy day.
We are especially proud of the world's oldest living grapevine, which was in 2004 signed in book of Guinness World Records. The grapevine of Žametovka is about 440 years old.
We are also proud of the numerous cultural attractions in the city. The old town core promises unforgettable adventure: walk along the river Drava embankment and through the lively streets and squares, where you can see Lent (the oldest part of the town),
the square Grajski trg with the castle and museum, the square Glavni trg with the Plague monument
and the Town hall, Bishop Slomšek's Cathedral with its viewing tower,
the Jewish synagogue, the Art Gallery and theatre.
Everyone can find something for themselves. Come and see how beautiful the city is. You will love to return.
