A number of times I see articles, which places or cities you should visit in Slovenia. Almost never they mention place or town from the eastern part of the country.

So here's my list of the ten small places and towns, which are worth to visit, but you probably heaven't heard of. :) All towns are located only a few tens of kilometres outside the city of Maribor, for which you've probably heard of. :)

1. Pernica

A small place, only a few km northeast from Maribor, in which Pernica lake is located.

Beautiful photos! True, many of you probably don't know our ends (I'm from the city of Maribor), and it is commendable, they gather these sites into a single whole.
