Sevnica
Sevnica is a small town on the left bank of the Sava river, in the Lower Sava Valley of eastern Slovenia. A castle stands on the hill above the old centre. A wooded ridge with a popular hiking summit rises just to the north.
The town suits a quiet stop of a day or two. Come for the castle, a hike on the nearby hill and a slow look at everyday Slovenian life away from the main tourist routes. Sevnica was a centre of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Melania Trump, the former First Lady of the United States, grew up here.

När du ska besöka
Late spring and early autumn are the best times for hiking and walking. Summer is warm and good for the river valley. Winter is cold, with snow on the hill above town.
A long-running local tradition is the Shrove Sunday auction of pork hocks and cured sausage at the church of St Judoc on the Lisca hill. It takes place in February or March, depending on the year.
Bästa tiden att besöka: juni, september
Främsta sevärdheter
- Grad Sevnica stands on a hill above the centre. The castle has a medieval tower and a small park. Guided visits show the furnished rooms and several small museums. The cellar on the castle hill has frescoes from the 16th century and is linked to the Lutheran movement. It is also used for concerts.
- Lisca is a 948 m hill north-west of town. The summit has a weather radar and good views over the Sava hills. Hikers, paragliders and families come here, and there is a ski slope in winter.
- Tončkov dom na Lisci is a mountain lodge near the top of Lisca. A paved road reaches it, so you can also drive up for a meal and the view. Walkers can take the main trail from Breg, a village near Sevnica, which climbs about 730 m.
- Grad spodnji Čretež is a castle site south-west of the town. The nearby Grad zgornji Čretež is a second castle site in the same hamlet. Both are quiet stops for a short drive on a hill road.
