• Lemberg Castle stands on a stone pillar above the village of Lemberg near the new Church, by the road between the new Church and Dobrna, and belongs to the municipality of Vojnik. The first path is indirectly mentioned in a document from 1213 in which Eberhard Lemberški – vlscalcus de rauenberch et frater eius Eberhardus de Leuburch – is signed as a witness. In 2007, it was bought by the current owner, historian and geographer Franci Zidar, who has been involved in reconstruction and planning new cultural facilities ever since. Once a year, on the first Sunday in September, the castle comes alive during the cultural and ethnological adaptation.
• If we were to close our eyes and in our minds try to conjure up a fairy-tale castle, the image that would appear behind the shutter would certainly not be far from the image of Velenje Castle, which greets us from the hillside at the entrance to Velenje. Its core was built in the 13th century, but most of its present appearance was acquired three centuries later, when, among other things, the inner arcaded courtyard and most of the picturesque walls with columns and a powerful Renaissance roundel were built.
• The entrance and walls of Slovenia's largest medieval castle give the impression that you are entering the center of the saga of the Counts of Celje. You already know that Barbara of Celje was the daughter of Herman II. Celjsko, the highest crowned head in Slovenian history? Have you heard about the fateful love story between Frederick II. and Veronika Deseniško, who is considered one of the most passionate and tragic in Slovenian history? The largest Slovenian medieval castle, as a fortress on top of the hill, controls all traffic routes towards the center of Celje from afar. The first foundations of the Old Castle of Celje were built in the second half of the 12th century. The old castle of Celje is best known as the home of the Counts of Celje, the most influential ruling dynasty in Slovenia.

•  Majpigl Manor (Vinegrad) in Vine: The path to the manor in Vine takes you past the Lemberg Castle and after a good kilometer of narrow road on the right nearby hill you see a mighty building with corner turrets. The manor was mentioned as the property of the Celje Minorites as early as l. 1773 and after several changes of owners, it was bought by the painter Elda Piščanec in 1930 and she lived in it until her death in 1967.

• Lindeški waterfall - in the folklore of "Visoke vode": If we go on foot from the parking lot in the village of Beli Potok (altitude 435 m) along what used to be the nearest steep and marked "castle path" towards the castle and the village of Lindek, the path takes us past the 9-meter waterfall "High water", located at an altitude of 555 m. Following a moderately demanding path, which was once also used for livestock transport, we are accompanied in the gorge by the gurgling of the White Stream and the singing of birds that nest in the rocks above the gorge. The journey from the parking lot to the "Visoke vode" waterfall (altitude difference 120 m) requires approx. 30 minutes.
