ポドラフスカのおすすめランニングルート

An interesting, beautifully renovated medieval church. When I was there, it was not possible to climb the tower.

Medieval synagogue with interesting artifacts.

The basilica has a beautiful courtyard

In the Old Town, on Lent Square, in front of the Oldest Vine, you'll find the more than 450-year-old Žametovka, or Blauer Kölner, grape variety. It's even listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest vine in the world that still bears fine fruit.

Hard to believe: This ancient vine has lived here for over 400 years and still bears fruit! A small town with a big history – located directly on the Drava River. Tip: You can sample local wines in the adjoining house – Pinela & Žametovka are worth a try. It's also great for photography in the early morning when the alley is empty.

Maribor's heart beats here: Surrounded by old facades, cafés, and the town hall, the main square is bustling most in the early evening. Perfect for a quick sit and watch life go by after a stroll through the city. Tip: The Astoria pastry shop has excellent cakes – it's best to sit outside with a view of the square.

Also a city worth visiting

The 16th-century water tower is part of a handsome Renaissance city fortress and stands directly next to the Drava River.
