Holiday apartment in Bizeljsko: Wine Trails, Nature and Culture

Bizeljsko can be explored from several perspectives through its trails, winegrowing, nature and historic sacred buildings. Between Stara vas, Brezovica and the Sotla, trails lead through meadows, places with a living wine tradition, special collections and churches with remarkable furnishings.

Trails and Winegrowing

The Pot k repnicam trail leads from Stara vas in Bizeljsko to Brezovica, which is known for its repnice. Along the way, a landscape and way of life unfold that have been connected with vineyards and wine for centuries. The Pot ob Sotli trail has a different character: It also begins in Stara vas and leads across meadows towards the Sotla, without any incline.

Food and Craftsmanship

The Vinarstvo in zbirka majolk Babič combines wine with regional culture. Tastings of their own wines are offered there alongside Bizeljsko buckwheat cake. The collection also displays more than 1,500 majolica vessels from 63 countries. The site thus brings a regional specialty and an international collection together under one roof.

Nature along the Sotla

Along the Pot ob Sotli trail, visitors can observe plants and birds as well as hares and deer. There are also beaver nests along the Sotla. These observations are directly associated with this trail and its route across the meadows towards the river.

Culture and History

The Church of St. Lawrence preserves several elements from different periods. One section of its bell tower probably dates from the 15th century, while the present church building was commissioned in 1725. Its Baroque furnishings include the altar of St. John of Nepomuk and a pulpit from 1854.

The Permanent Ethnographic Collection of Marija Sušnik displays agricultural equipment, dishes and tools, as well as books and photographs. Its focus is on winegrowing. In Brezovica in Bizeljsko, the Balon Repnica is now open to visitors. It preserves a refuge used during the Second World War, which was connected to a wine cellar by a narrow underground tunnel.

Places in the Surrounding Area

In the immediate vicinity of Bizeljsko are Pišečki grad Castle, Mount Spiček and the summit of Kajsov Vrh. The wider regional area includes Novi Dvori Castle, Medvedgrad Castle, Mount Kuna Gora and Mount Bohor.

Pilgrimage History and Sacred Culture

The Church of St. Anthony the Hermit stands in Drenovec. It probably dates from the 16th century and preserves Gothic architectural elements as well as an altar from the 18th century. Croatian pilgrims visited the church on 17 January, the feast day of its patron saint, and on 13 June, the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua.
