' Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ' – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nature is our home, our refuge, a break from the noisy world inside and around us; nature offers medicine and healing. And untouched nature abounds in Ivanec.

One of the most noticeable natural characteristics of Ivanec are the beautiful hills that surround the town under the protection of the mighty mountain. These green waves offer spectacular views where vineyards, orchards and forests merge. Ivanec is known for its vineyards and exciting waterfalls of vines from which excellent wine varieties have grown. The river Bednja and numerous streams and lakes offer additional charm to the surroundings of Ivanec.
