Painter Ana Vrtačnik pursued her doctoral studies during the COVID pandemic, a time when art was experienced only through screens, and the dependence on them spread to all other areas of life. In resistance to “art at a distance” and the general taboo of touch, especially in the context of museums and galleries, she developed her tactile painting, which calls for contact through evocative forms and the choice of a pleasant material – felt. In the exhibition Mere Touch Effect in the Lapidarium of Galerija Božidar Jakac, she presents herself with soft but compact felt objects that grow out of the uneven walls and together form their own ecosystem. The exhibition is on display till 29. July 2025.

Nowhere in Slovenia are there as many castles in such a small area as in Posavje. The castles of Brežice, Kunšperk, Mokrice, Rajhenburg, Sevnica and Svibno and the former Cistercian monastery Kostanjevica on Krka. Whether it’s a beautiful hotel in the shelter of greenery, a living spirit of the past in the middle of an urban area, a mighty guardian on the steep piers above the Sava River, remains on the green hills of the rugged Posavina countryside… Such are the castles of Posavina that will charm you at first sight. The “Seven Magnificent” boutique experience adds a new dimension to a day trip by holistically addressing all your senses. At any moment of the day, you will experience Posavje and its exceptional castle heritage, beautiful, authentic nature and superb cuisine in an authentic and boutique way.

In 2019, the municipality of Kostanjevica na Krki entered the Green Scheme of Slovenian tourism for the first time under the auspices of the Slovenian Tourism Organization and thus became involved in the process of obtaining the Slovenia Green Destination label. At the first assessment, it received the Slovenia Green Destination bronze label, and this year, at the re-assessment, they evaluated progress and efforts for even more sustainable development of tourism, which is why the destination of Kostanjevica na Krki was awarded (in 2023) with the Slovenia Green Destination SILVER label. This proves that we are on the right track in promoting the sustainable development of tourism. Big thanks go to all citizens who represent the destination and try to make guests feel accepted and welcome.
