Slovenske Konjice

Shaped around a medieval market beneath Konjiška gora, Slovenske Konjice developed into the administrative centre of the Dravinja Valley in northeastern Slovenia. The Dravinja flows through the town, while the ruins of Konjice Castle overlook its older quarters from the wooded slope above. South of the centre, the rolling vineyards of Škalce continue a long local wine-growing tradition; the town is also close to Žiče Charterhouse, a medieval Carthusian monastery founded in the 12th century. Its compact centre is a useful starting point for exploring the valley between the Pohorje hills and Styria’s wine country.
