3 days in Dolenjska Itinerary

Novo Mesto is the city on a bend of the Krka River in the City Municipality of Novo Mesto in southeastern Slovenia, close to the border with Croatia. When in Novo Mesto, make a side trip to see Chateau de Zuzemberk in Žužemberk, approximately Žužemberk away. There's much more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Novo Mesto Cathedral, contemplate the long history of Breg, get to know the fascinating history of Main Square, and get a sense of history and politics at Mestna hisa - Rotovz.
