Hiking Trail in Marija Gorica

Kraj Donji Hiking Trail in Marija Gorica is a winding path that descends over dewy meadows and fields into the valley of the Sutla River. Kraj Donji (Lower Area in Croatian) is a settlement in the Municipality of Marija Gorica with fewer than five hundred inhabitants, situated right on the border with neighboring Slovenia. If you have rented a holiday home in Marija Gorica, from the town center, specifically from the parish church, you can descend to Lower End using two paths, each about 2 kilometers long, taking approximately half an hour to walk, even for the slowest walkers. The Marija Gorica hiking trail offers an opportunity to enjoy the incredible hilly landscapes where young grass sways and apple trees blossom. The gentleness of this place is beneath our feet, while the Sutla River lazily flows, connecting Slovenia and Croatia more than it divides them. Kraj Donji is known not only for the border crossing and railway station but also for the manor house (mansion), a protected cultural monument dating back to the 16th century. Today, it is privately owned, but its imposing exterior attracts history enthusiasts and photographers. An active vacation in Marija Gorica is full of surprises in this environment of enchanting nature and abundant historical heritage.
