The local area

Podravje occupies the fertile Drava and Ptuj flood plains, the hilly regions of Slovenske gorice to the north, Dravinja gorice and Haloze to the south, and the forested Pohorje mountain range to the west. The Drava river, one of the strongest rivers in Slovenia, is dammed at many locations for hydroelectric plants (Fala, Mariborski otok, Zlatolicje, Formin), creating large recreation lakes (Maribor Lake, Ptuj Lake, Ormoz Lake). Exceptional locations in the hills, a mild climate, and favourable soil conditions have enabled the production of top quality white wines that are matured in large wine cellars in Maribor, Ptuj, and Ormoz. On the lower slopes of the Pohorje mountain range above the regional center and university city of Maribor , Slovenia’s second largest city, there is winter stadium for women’s World Cup slalom competitions and recreational skiing.
