With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Novo Mesto, 20 miles away, has to offer. Jakac House ought to be toward the top of your list here. Otocec Castle Park and Church of St John the Baptist are also not to be missed. The locals are also likely to point you toward Brezice, 35 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Brezice Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Saint Vid Church and Posavje Museum.)
