Green facts

Slovenia is writing its green story. Feel it at every turn.

An avenue of pear trees will accompany you on your way to Olimje. The tree avenue communicates the destination’s commitment to preserving the heirloom fruit tree varieties.  

As much as 69% of the Kozjansko Regional Park is part of Natura 2000, an important European conservation area.

The Kozjansko apple is a special feature of the Kozjansko Regional Park, and symbolises nature protection and sustainable development of the area.

Kozjansko apples, juice, monastery tea and other local products often find their way to the tables of local restaurants.

Capon

Capon is a young, castrated rooster that is especially well-fed. It is particularly prized for its tender white meat. The meat is juicy and delicious because, unlike with hens or pigs, its fat does not accumulate in one single place, but is distributed between the meat’s tissues. The quality of capon meat forms the base for several dishes, mostly intended for various festivities.
Capon is a culinary speciality of the Kozjansko region.
