Podvelka

The town of Podvelka has long been known as the home of foresters, who once floated the rich surrounding forests down the Drava River for trade. Today, the uninhabited steep slopes are a paradise for visitors who love peace, the freshness of nature, and the pure forest air. 

The town is surrounded by small clustered villages with beautifully arranged village centres. Especially charming is Kapla – on the northern side of the Drava – whose ridge-top location offers an excellent starting point for hikers, while Ožbalt and Brezno provide good entry points to cycling routes and rest areas for campervans. 

Odomovo Lake, located on Kozjak, is the final destination for many hikers who wish to refresh themselves after a walk, as well as for those seeking tranquillity, birdsong, fishing, and a picnic in nature. S kolesom na Zgornji Kapli s pogledom na Avstrijo

In addition to sightseeing, you can also enjoy interactive presentations of traditional crafts in Podvelka, such as the Blacksmith’s Workshop Kovačija pri Kovaču, where you can forge your very own emblem, or explore the treasure chest of nature at Linca in the Kobansko area.
