Murska Sobota, a very pleasant town

Murska Sobota lies only a short distance away from the Mura in the middle of Ravensko polje.

A settlement developed alongside the castle and remained a relatively insignificant peasant town. It began to build its reputation in the first half of the 20th century, and only experienced true flourishing after the Second World War.

Lying along the road leading toward Radenci are the villages of Krog, Tropovci, Tišina and Petanjci. A parallel road runs westward to Gederovci at the border with Austria. Along this road are the villages of Puconci, Martjanci, and Moravci.

To the east are Beltinci, reputed for its folklore events, Turnišče, Dobrovnik and many smaller settlements. The villages with their typical small Pannonia houses mostly extend along the roads. Despite the endless plains and fertile land, the farms are mostly small and fragmented.

The Ledava River flows from the western hills of Goričko across Ravensko polje, where it is joined by numerous streams running off Goričko.

So are you impressed? Visit Slovenia, Ljubljana, Bled Lake and Bohinj Lake. Do not foget also Postojna Cave and Portorož.

See you soon...
