Based at the foot of the Rudnica Mountain, Olimje is a peaceful valley known for its indescribable beauty. This fairytale countryside, which won the golden medal in the Entente Florale contest in 2009, is filled with farmhouses that tourists can visit to enjoy authentic Slovene food and wine. Olimje is also known for homemade chocolate and beer.
Attractions include a renovated monastery complex that has a church and a castle; the church is adorned with a black and gold baroque altar. The castle houses one of the oldest preserved monastery pharmacies in Europe – many of the remedies are created from the 160 healing herbs which are grown in the botanical gardens that located in front of the monastery.
