Pesnica pri Mariboru: Holiday apartment between wine and the Pesniška pot

Pesnica pri Mariboru has retained the character of a sprawling, dispersed village. The compact settlement stretches along the road from Maribor to Šentilj in the valley of the Cirknica stream. The Pesniška pot begins at the fruit market in Pesnica.

Trails and landscape

The Pesniška pot can be completed on foot in around four hours, with breaks. Horse riding is available along the route at Jože Frajzman. In the vicinity of Pesnica, the Sadjarski center in Gačnik, located along the route, is considered worth seeing. Cyclists can use the Kolesarska pot po obronkih Pesnice; it is considered not very demanding, although climbs in some places make the route somewhat more strenuous.

Culture and history

The local history includes the close connection between the development of Pesnica and the construction of the Southern Railway in the mid-19th century. The railway ran through the Pesniški viadukt across the Pesnica valley. Historical apples from Slovenske gorice were transported in large quantities to Vienna from Pesnica railway station. In the vicinity of Pesnica, the viaduct at Dolnja Počehova is designated as a cultural monument of local significance; it was built as part of the Southern Railway to bridge the marshy Pesnica valley. In 2026, the programme for the 80th local celebration of the KS Pesnica was titled “Pesnica skozi čas” and included cultural events, exhibitions, concerts, hikes, sports gatherings, expert lectures and social events from 1 May to 13 June.

Wine and local events

The traditional “PRAZNIK SADJA, VINA IN CVETJA” festival takes place every autumn at the fruit market in Pesnica. By prior arrangement, Klet Pesnica offers guided cellar tours and wine tastings.
