Bus Hire in Metlika, Slovenia

The Kolpa river marks the border with Croatia along Metlika's southern edge, warm enough by Slovenian standards for genuine summer swimming, and the small town on its bank sits at the centre of Bela Krajina, a region whose winegrowing tradition is recorded back to the Middle Ages, among the oldest documented in the country.

Each spring the town holds Vinska vigred, a wine festival stretching back generations, filling Metlika's compact centre with local metliska crnina red and other regional varieties. A wine-growing museum in the old town preserves the tools and techniques behind that history, and the surrounding hills, terraced with vines running down toward the river, still work much as they did generations ago.
