Hostelling International Slovenia Hostelling International Slovenia (HI Slovenia) is the only national representative of Slovenia in the International Youth Hostel Federation (Hostelling International – HI). HI is a non-governmental and non-profit organization active in about 90 countries in the world. The organization works closely together with UNESCO (United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization), WTO (World Tourism Organization) and other important international organization – also it was proclaimed the sixth largest organization that offers overnighting. With 4 million members it is one of the largest youth organizations in the world and is the only network of youth hostels with about 4.000 objects for spending the night, 1.5 million beds and 30-40 overnight stays annually. HI has high standards for youth hostels, based on the treatment of the guests, security, cleanliness and privacy. But it is not its only role. Since it was established in 1932 it encourages young people for better intercultural understanding through informal education and peace, global friendship and environmentalism. The international organization, with a strong support of its national members, it offers interaction among youth of various nationalities and cultures, exchange of experience, getting to know their peers and after all themselves. For this the organization has international programs for youth, above all the ones with lesser chances, through which we spread the mission of Hostelling International, which remained the same since 1932: To promote the education of all young people of all nations, but especially young people of limited means, by encouraging in them a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside and an appreciation of the cultural values of towns and cities in all parts of the world, and as ancillary thereto, to provide hostels or other accommodation in which there shall be no distinctions of race, nationality, colour, religion, sex, class or political opinions and thereby to develop a better understanding of their fellow men, both at home and abroad. HI Slovenia, with more than 40 hostels around Slovenia, ensures safe, budget friendly and quality boarding for all types of groups. This includes the educational field trips with various themes (history, art or language courses) as well as extracurricular activities for schools, students, sporting and other groups – or simply friends who want a joint active holiday. All Slovenian hostels meet the international demands, with most of them having special offers for the groups: • Private rooms for group leaders and drivers • Bus parking • Study rooms, game rooms and joint areas • Ensuring full meals and possible lunch packets • Personal that understands the needs of any group Hostels are placed as well in the urban centres as in nature, but all can be perfect base for discovering the country side. Do you want active holidays with rafting, skiing and hiking? Maybe something more relaxing as sightseeing of cultural and historical sights? Or would you just spoil yourself in the thermal and natural baths? PZS as part of Hostelling International is the organization to contact for any of these great experiences in a budget friendly way.

The steel production of the town was part of the Forma Viva national project of international sculpture workshops along with Kostanjevica na Krki, Seča pri Portorožu and Maribor. Thirty artists from all parts of the world created their monumental ideas in steel or iron and these stand at various parts of the town, contributing to the ambient.

Mountain village of Strojna Strojna has about 250 inhabitants and is the mountain village in Koroška, at about 1000m elevation. In this village the development of the urban commodities did not spoil the cultural and natural heritage. This is also the perfect place for cyclists and hikers.

Castle park with the castle Ravne na Koroškem The castle Ravne stands on an elevation above the town centre and is about 500 years old. Today you can see the neo-baroque style of the last renovation of the castle in the 19th century, otherwise it’s a heterogeneous mixture of architecture with traces of rebuilding from the gothic age forth. The last owners – counts Thurin – made a beautiful castle park on the fields behind the building.

Prežihova bajta To the northwest and above Kotlje there is the low hill Preški Vrh. For some ten years the parents of the writer Prežihov Voranc (the greatest Slovenian writer of realism period) were the tenants at the estate. After ten years they’ve made enough savings that Prežih’s father bought the house, which is now the museum of Prežihov Voranc. The house is typical of Koroška and gives us a great insight of the days of the yough of Prežihov Voranc.
