Educational forest trail

Near the Bellevue Hotel there is a maintained wooded learning trail named after the forestry engineer Rozika Devebec-Lesjak. This circular trail through the woods is 3 km long. The first point along the learning trail is the church of St. Wolfgang, which was established in the early sixteenth century. Originally the church was built in late Gothic architectural style and was roofed with shingles; later, slate tiles were used.

The foundation was made of uncut stone. In 1785 the church was closed and in 1950 it burned down, after which it lay in ruins for many years. Renovations were begun in 1971 but only completed in 2005, from which time it has served as a museum.

There are two giant trees right by the church. A large beech tree grows in the meadow, and north of the church there is a 14-meter tall chestnut tree with a circumference of 408 cm. It is the largest chestnut tree growing on Pohorje. The learning trail winds through the woods to the lookout tower, from which you can see all of Pohorje and far across the Alps on clear days.

Lovrenško Bog
This area includes twenty-one bog pools lush with dwarf pine and flowers typical of this area such as bog-rosemary, round-leaved sundew, and cranberry. The bog is around 8,000 years old and is the largest raised bog in Slovenia.

Black lake
This lake lies amid a bed of sparse vegetation on peat moss. Although the water is crystal clear, the lake gives the impression of being filled with black ink.

Šumik Falls and Virgin Forest
This is part of the Šumik nature reserve along Lobnica Creek, where Big Šumik Falls roars among the rocks and thinning spruces, with white foaming water falling 40 meters. Further down the creek is Little Šumik Falls, where loggers once used flumes to float spruce logs down into the valley.

Old Forest Glassworks
More than a century ago, glassworkers (known as glažarji) lived in the Pohorje Hills. The majority were of Friulian and Italian origin. They made glasses, bottles, and chandeliers, which can still be seen today in some churches around Pohorje. A collection of glass items from the Pohorje glassworks is also displayed at the Maribor Regional Museum.

Ptuj and Maribor
Paths of civic traditions will take you Ptuj and Maribor. Ptuj - the oldest town in Slovenia will tell you stories about the ancient Romans, and Maribor will be embraced by wine-growing hills to discover the secrets of excellent wine.
