River Drava Maribor

The Land of Waters

Rivers

Rivers are the soul of Štajerska – they shape the landscape, connect people, and create space for nature, recreation, and relaxation. Along their banks, history, culture, and rich biodiversity intertwine. Flowing calmly or rushing vibrantly across gravel beds and through valleys, they constantly invite exploration and respect.

Some are natural, others man-made, but each has its own charm, its own story, and its own energy.
