Kunova
Our center is located in Kunova, a small village close to Negova lake in the Municipality of Gornja Radgona in northeastern Slovenia. In the area you'll find small villages, green hills, forests, meadows, and lakes. It's a great place to enjoy nature, go swimming, hiking, and tracking. Nearby is a beautiful castle in Negova and a small lake where you can swim. We have 7 bicycles at the center if you want to go explore the area or go to the local ice cream cafe.
