SIGHTS IN SURROUNDINGS
There are many attractions around the Baron that you can see for yourself: Old Castle - a small hill (517 m), which can be reached on a macadam road on foot (also by car) or on a steeper "Calvary" (the beginning of the path is opposite the hotel), past 14 Rococo chapels, which are beautifully painted with frescoes The Way of the Cross of Christ. The ascent takes about 15-20 minutes for the average active hiker. You do not need any special hiking equipment, but hiking shoes are recommended. At the top is the ruins of a castle whose beginnings date back to the 12th century, with beautiful views on all sides. In clear weather, the highest mountain Triglav, the city of Ljubljana, the peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the peaks of the Karavanke and the peaks of the Julian Alps can be seen in the distance. Scenes at sunrise or sunset are especially beautiful. Directly below the top / walls is a snack bar, a children's playground and Špelka's villa intended for private companies.

Zbiljsko Lake - an artificial accumulation lake on the Sava River near Zbilje. From the hotel to the lake is about 2km, suitable for a nice walk or a very short ride by bike or car. The lake was created in 1953, when a dam was built during the construction of the Medvode hydroelectric power plant. The lake is 250 meters long, 40 meters wide and has an area of 69 hectares. The upper level of the lake can reach up to about 328 meters above sea level, then the lake is 5 kilometers long and stretches between Medvode and the town of Mavčiče, where the Mavčiče hydroelectric power plant is located. Above the dam in Mavčiče, the Sava River widens into the artificial Trboje Lake. Zbilje Lake soon became a popular excursion point, and the village of Zbilje also developed accordingly. In Zbilje you can find a canoe and boat rental, next to it is Bistro Dotik where you can refresh yourself with a good coffee, ice cream, desserts and pizzas. Next is a well-kept playground for children, a volleyball court and a picnic area. There are occasional cultural events in the village square by the lake, and on the big lawn there are also larger events such as Zbiljska noč, Wild West Fest (first week of August), followed by a basketball court and Pizza Sedmica, where you get a free lottery ticket. There are quite a few swans in the lake, so there will be plenty of opportunities for beautiful photos.

Above all, indulge in the charms of a young and playful capital - LJUBLJANA!
Ljubljana is beautiful in all seasons. In the summer, it acquires a Mediterranean casualness as residents take time for a relaxed chat in one of the many cafés. In winter, however, the snow turns the city into an icy fairytale waiting for the first warm spring days when the city wakes up. The capital, which remains a small city at heart, will surely make a lasting impression on you.
