A perfect romantic getaway in Slovenija

October is the most coloful month in Slovenija if there is not too much rain. Summer is waving goodbye and frisky autumn is playing with your wardrobe ;)
The landscape is magnificent! From seaside and sunny Portorose to beautiful caves of Postojna and Škocjan, high mountains – Alps, mysterious, foggy lakes of Bohinj and Bled and vast fields of Prekmurje. You can easily fall in love with those views, I promise you! ;)

If you love vineyards and you are a fan of good wine, perfect views and of course an endless romantic soul… then keep reading, I've got a perfect one day trip for you! ;)

Špičnik is a settlement in municipality Kungota, where tourist farm Dreisiebner is located. 
They offer accomodation, really good local cuisine, wine tasting in their wine cellar and a spectacular view of surrounding vineyards with a peculiarity, the scenic road – heart shaped road. Sip a glass of their traminer and enjoy the view with your beloved one. I love the sweetness and full taste of their traminer! ;)

If you are hungry for more, then hit the road towards municipality Beltinci and visit the Island of love in settlement Ižakovci. (Unfortunately their website is in slovene language, but if you have any questions about it, do ask, I will gladly help you.) Take a walk by the river Mura, cross the lovers bridge and kiss your beloved one on the lovers bench ;)

If you drive few km from Ižakovci to Veržej, check out the floating wooden mill and museum where you can also buy some flour and see how the mill works. Only 2 of the floating mills survived and are still active today. One in Ižakovci and another one near the village Veržej, the Babič Mill.
