Visit Svečina
THE HEART OF VINERY
The Heart-shaped Road is a special place that you have probably already seen, at least in the photo. Road winds through the far west wine-growing Sloveske gorice hills in the municipality of Kungota near the border with Austria in the shape of a heart.
The heart among the vineyards is most clearly seen when the leaves fall off in the vineyards, in late autumn and winter, or early in the spring months when the leaves in the vineyards are not yet lush. It is easy to get there. The path will lead you through Svečinske gorice hills along a beautiful road between vineyards, where the local border and panoramic road runs.
This popular photo location attracts many locals and foreigners who enjoy the beautiful view.
