Heritage Trail project in Dolenjska and Bela krajina is a pilot project in former socialist countries. Its goal is revitalization of countryside with inclusion of natural and cultural heritage in tourist offerings under principles of stable tourism. This tourist programme includes 28 natural and cultural sights in Dolenjska and Bela krajina, which invite tourists to pleasant trips and excursions, full of curiosities and dissimilarities to regular tours, that can be adjusted to your individual preferences. Visit castles and medieval monasteries, villages with decorated churches, health resorts and town squares. Admire rivers and brooks and walk beside them. Along with birds hearken to the wonderfully soft and rolling country, enjoy traditional entertainment with local people, get to know their handmade products. You can enjoy everything you need for a once in a lifetime holiday.
