WELCOME TO THE WOODS

A slower rhythm begins here.

Hidden among the trees on Pohorje, The Woods is a small forest retreat created for quiet mornings, active days and slow evenings. Sleep in a warm wooden cabin, explore the mountain and return to the heat of a Finnish sauna.

ABOVE THE CITY

Around 1,100 metres above the noise.

Hidden in a beech forest high on Pohorje, The Woods offers cooler mountain air, quieter mornings and a slower rhythm above Maribor.

  • Around 1,100 m above sea level
  • Surrounded by beech forest
  • Cooler mountain air above Maribor

Above the city. Inside the forest.

OUR STORY

Not an escape from life.

The Woods was created as a place to step away from routines, screens and noise. Not to escape life, but to return to it differently.
