The deep forests of Koroška are criss-crossed with trails, and their ridges are accessible by paths that usually lead to the best scenic viewpoints. You will not encounter crowds of hikers there, so the outdoor experience will be all the more authentic.

The Holcerček Festival is the opening of the summer season at Kope. A mountain running competition, called the K24 Ultra Trail, is held there in August.

What the people of Koroška value themselves, they offer to their guests. They put a loaf of rye bread on the table so their guests can slice a piece of it, and pour them a glass of must.

Koroška is a top-level cycling destination. Its specialty is underground cycling and kayaking. Also exciting is the descent down the longest zip-line in Slovenia.
