Ribnica na Pohorju: Nature, Culture and Hotels

In the historic town center of Ribnica na Pohorju, St. Bartholomew's Church forms the center. The townscape can be viewed through architectural history, nature and trails from different perspectives.

Culture

St. Bartholomew's Church features characteristic Baroque architecture dating from 1740. In 2005, depictions of saints and a scene of the Last Supper were discovered beneath the plaster. Another historical trace leads to St. Leonard's Church: its presbytery dates from the 15th century. The church forms part of an ensemble with a lime tree avenue and the chapels of the Stations of the Cross.

Nature

The Ribnica na Pohorju ski resort has 2.2 km of ski slopes and is located at an altitude between 721 and 921 m. The apartment buildings of the family- and ski-friendly Ribnica na Pohorju holiday complex are situated directly next to the ski resort. A shorter or longer winter hike through unspoiled nature leads to the idyllic Ribnica Lake. The lake lies in the middle of a peat bog at an altitude of 1,480 m.

Trails

An 8 km road leads from Ribnica na Pohorju to Ribniška Koča. In summer, the road to the lodge can be traveled by car or bus. In winter, it is accessible only as far as the lower station of the drag lift; from there, the lodge can be reached on foot in 30 minutes. The information therefore distinguishes between the seasonally available means of transport and the remaining walk to the lodge.

There are also different starting points for the route to Ribnica Lake. The longer hike begins directly in the village of Ribnica na Pohorju and takes approximately two and a half hours each way. A shorter walk starts at the Ribniška Koča lodge and takes about 30 minutes.

For cyclists, the Pohorje 3 – Ribnica na Pohorju circular cycling route runs through Ribniško Pohorje. It connects the two centers of Kope and Ribnica na Pohorju.
