Town Forest

The Town Forest in Celje is a vibrant green oasis that offers locals and visitors a refreshing escape just minutes from the city center. Spanning rolling hills and dense woodlands, this urban forest is a favorite destination for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and anyone looking to reconnect with nature. One of its standout features is Slovenia’s largest tree house—a striking wooden observatory built entirely from timber harvested in the forest itself. This unique structure serves as a popular meeting point, event venue, and a perfect spot for panoramic views across Celje and its surroundings.

The Town Forest is crisscrossed by seven adventure and leisure trails, as well as an educational path that introduces visitors to the area’s flora, fauna, and ecological importance. Outdoor gym facilities and well-maintained running and cycling routes make it easy to stay active, while the peaceful environment invites leisurely walks and quiet moments of reflection. The forest’s historical significance is also notable; centuries ago, it was traversed by the Counts of Celje, adding a layer of cultural intrigue to your visit.

Throughout the year, the tree house hosts workshops, concerts, and family-friendly events, making the Town Forest a lively hub of community activity. Easily accessible from Celje’s old town, this green retreat is a testament to the city’s commitment to sustainability and its reputation as a Slovenia Green Destination Gold label holder. Whether you’re seeking adventure or tranquility, the Town Forest in Celje is a must-visit for nature lovers.
