Underrated castle in a small town not far from Ljubljana. The castle is pretty There is a bar to sit and chill also a good trail. Only the location that locates in a small town so if just only come here for a castle would not that worth travelling time.

Really well-maintained castle, one of the best I've seen in Slovenia. Its located atop a hill with some decent views. It is possible to take a guided tour of the castle, plus there is a gift shop and free bathrooms. Dogs are allowed on the outside grassy area surrounding the castle. About a 40 minute drive from Ljubljana. Well worth it.
