5-STAR EXPERIENCES
Stara Gora Vintage Vehicle Club
Under one shared brand, three distinct boutique tourism experiences have been created, bringing together the natural, cultural and technical heritage of Stara Gora and the wider Prlekija region. Each experience has its own central story and a unique way of discovering the destination: on vintage bicycles, on vintage motorcycles, or through living technical heritage.
All three experiences share the same core values: authenticity, personal guiding, small groups, active guest participation, a sustainable approach, and close cooperation with the local community.
