Green destination

As a green destination, Ljutomer invites you to the heart of beautiful Prlekija. Local cuisine, hospitable and kind-hearted people, and an abundance of grain fields and vineyards offer an experience of a true little paradise. As the cradle of horse breeding, rich in thermal springs, natural beauty, rattlesnakes, storks and a rich cultural tradition, the Municipality of Ljutomer is a real treasure for discovering green experiences.

As we are aware of the importance of green destination development, we strive to follow the objectives of the Green Scheme through activities and projects that reduce the impact on the environment, promote the use of renewable energy sources, protect natural resources and contribute to improving the quality of life of the inhabitants.

We invite you to discover the destination's green stories and visit local natural and cultural sites that respect sustainable practices and contribute to preserving the natural balance. Visit local providers, try hiking and cycling trails through the unspoilt forests along the Mura River and among the terraced vineyards of Jeruzalem, and discover the mysterious potholes of our picturesque green landscape.

We want you to enjoy an offer that combines respect for nature, local traditions and innovative approaches to sustainable tourism. In doing so, you are not only supporting the local community, but also contributing to sustainable development, preserving biodiversity and protecting natural and cultural heritage for future generations.

Green experiences

Nature tourism products play a key role in promoting sustainable development, preserving the natural environment and raising awareness of the importance of natural heritage. They are also extremely important in raising visitor awareness of appropriate behaviour in nature and respect for its rules.

It is essential that we follow the principles below in nature.

We do not feed wild animals because this can attract them closer to settlements, increase their risk of disease and change their natural behaviour.
Do not disturb animals with noise and do not get too close to them, as this can cause stress and disturb their rhythm.
Respect the marked trails and avoid entering sensitive areas to avoid damaging natural habitats or encroaching on wildlife habitats.
Before visiting protected areas, always read the recommendations of experts and safety guidelines to ensure that your visit is safe and that nature is protected.

By behaving in this way, we are helping to preserve our natural wealth for future generations and ensuring that they too can enjoy the magic of nature in the same way we do.
