7 Most Photogenic Spots Around Kolpa Resort

Dear nature lovers and photography enthusiasts,

Can you imagine capturing the perfect reflection of the Kolpa River as morning mist slowly rises from the valley? Or a view of vineyards rolling like green waves across the hills?

When you stay at Kolpa Resort, you're surrounded by one of Slovenia’s most picturesque landscapes. Bela krajina is not just peaceful, authentic, and full of character – it’s also incredibly photogenic. Whether you explore by bike, on foot, or with a drone in your backpack – here are 7 locations you absolutely must capture.

1. Kolpa River – Slovenia’s warmest river

Right next to the resort, the Kolpa flows slowly and peacefully. The best light is early morning or golden hour. Take the riverside trail toward Stari Trg for hidden corners where silence says more than words.

2. Vineyards of Vinomer

Just above Metlika, a hill of vineyards glows in the soft afternoon light. It feels like walking through a painting.

If you're lucky, a winemaker might offer you a glass of homemade wine – just for "inspiration", of course. 😉

3. Adlešiči & Traditional Easter Eggs

This village is a living museum. Local women still decorate traditional hand-painted eggs called pisanice.

If you’re lucky, a kind grandmother might show you her oldest piece and tell you which colors bring good luck.

4. Lahinja Landscape Park

A peaceful natural reserve of wooden bridges, wetlands, and absolute quiet. Perfect for a “zen” photo, no filters needed. And if you spot a stork? That means good luck. Capture it on camera – double luck!

5.  Metlika Old Town

The cobbled streets, colorful facades and the Church of St. Nicholas glow warmly at sunset. If you visit during the Wine Festival (Vinska vigred), the town comes alive with music, laughter and glasses raised high.

6. Mirna gora

From this mountain peak (1,047 m), you can see all the way to the Kamnik–Savinja Alps on a clear day. A small chapel at the summit offers a peaceful setting for a photo that looks like a postcard.

The climb? Worth every drop of sweat.

7. Črnomelj Castle

Perched above the confluence of two rivers, this hidden gem isn't crowded – but it is magical. From the bridge, the castle appears like a scene from a fairytale. Sometimes the most photogenic places are the ones yet to be discovered.
