Outside view of Ortenia apartments in Podčetrtek, Slovenia


In June 2017 we stayed at this beautiful place called Ortenia. We stayed there for 3 nights in one of their apartments. Apartments are located in Podčetrtek , a very small and quiet place in Slovenia. First eco-friendly apartments in Slovenia, designed using the principle of innovative sustainable construction. These apartments are build from natural materials,  energy-saving light bulbs are installed in all buildings. Heating for water and rooms uses a renewable energy source – water pumped from a depth of 80 meters. The water tank collects rainwater from the roof, which is then used to flush sanitary appliances and water outside areas.


Timeless Monschau village - The Pearl Of The Eifel

Currently updating!

Monschau is a small historical town in Germany, in the Eifel mountain range, a place where time seems to have stood still for over three centuries, situated just 2km across the Belgian border. A friend recommended me to visit Monschau as I asked her what near Nideggen is worth visiting. It is only 30 mins by car  from Nideggen where we stayed for 2 days. Narrow cobblestoned streets lined with half-timbered houses, romantic lanes, medieval walls makes this town a perfect place for rest.  I noticed on some houses Christmas decorations even though it was middle of May. It wasn't crowded with tourists as I expected so I managed to take a lot of photos. I will highlight top things to do in this cute little town.
