Haloze has been connected with Ptuj, the oldest town in Slovenia, for centuries. Ptuj is famous for its Shrovetide (Halloween masks and costumes) and the “kurent”, a typical masquerade character that chases away evil spirits in the time from Candlemas to Ash Wednesday in winter time. The vicinity of Ptuj is perfect for a romantic walk or dinner by the river Drava, a game of golf or foot-golf, and also for pampering yourself in the thermal springs in Terme Ptuj. This historical town will charm you with its roman and medieval story. Many recreational possibilities in a form of hiking and biking on the Drava bike trail and many themed paths that can be upgraded with a visit to the mansion Trakoščan or the baroque city of Varaždin just across the border with Croatia.
