- Podsreda Castle — A properly atmospheric medieval fortress tucked into the hills, with frescoed chapel remnants, stone courtyards and easy walking routes radiating out from it. Great spot for history vibes plus wide views without a lot of tourists.
- Rogatec Open-Air Museum — An ethnographic village where traditional wooden houses, barns and tools are on display; it’s the best place in the park to see how rural life used to look and to combine culture with a gentle stroll.
- Bizeljsko-Sremič wine hills — Low, sunny vineyards and family-run cellars that make for relaxed tastings and panoramic ridge walks; excellent if you want wine, small-town hospitality and vineyard trails in one go.
- Traditional orchard meadows and old fruit varieties — The park is famous for its mosaic of orchard meadows

- Traditional orchard meadows and old fruit varieties — The park is famous for its mosaic of orchard meadows full of heritage apple and pear trees; in spring the blossoms are ridiculous, and in autumn the landscapes and local markets brim with unusual fruit. (Personal favorite — nothing beats walking those blossom-scented paths.)
- Sotla (Sutla) River valley — A quiet border river with pleasant floodplain habitats, reed beds and shallow channels; good for slow paddles, photography and spotting waterbirds and amphibians away from roads.
- Kozjansko hiking trails and viewpoints — A network of well-marked loops over gentle hills, mixed forests and meadows; you’ll find short day-hikes and longer routes that reward you with ridge views, solitary beech copses and nice picnic spots.
- Orchids, butterflies and birdwatching hotspots — The park’s varied meadows and scrub support a surprising diversity of orchids, butterflies and raptors; bring binoculars in spring and early summer for the best displays of color and bird activity.
