ADVENTURES
around RESORT
The natural Kolpa glamping resort is situated on top of a hill, a few hundred metres back from the quiet country road '919', between the municipalities of Metlika and Črnomelj, and just outside the village limits of Krasinec itself.
Therefore this places us geographically, culturally and historically in the heart of the region of Bela Krajina, from whose rich heritage we have drawn inspiration for our concept.
A whole host of activities is available, both in, and in close proximity to, the resort, where you can indulge yourself with plenty of free time.
You can fish in the River Kolpa or the nearby lakes and ponds, or visit the adventure park, the sports aerodrome, or horse-riding, or cycling/hiking along the picturesque road running alongside the river; there is much to satisfy the active appetite! Bela Krajina itself is rich in culture and history but the people themselves are also rich in spirit. Take the time to talk with them when you meet them; you will find them generous in goodwill, sincerity and interest, borne from generations of surprising diversity!
