Our House
A Connection with History and Nature
Welcome to Mestni Vrh, where our small Herberstein House has stood for over 230 years – a homestead that unites rich history, unspoiled nature, and the warmth of rural life.
If you are visiting Ptuj, Slovenia’s oldest town, and are looking for authentic experiences, relaxation in nature, and a connection with history and farm animals, Herberstein House invites you for an unforgettable countryside experience!
Our History
A Journey Through Time
Step back in time and discover the story of the Murko family, who lived in the House from 1795 to 2004. Today, the house is a “living museum”, where more than 100 historical photographs and original artifacts reveal what life was like for Styrian vineyard workers in the past.
Our Nature and Animals
An Authentic Countryside Experience
Mestni Vrh is a true paradise for nature lovers. Discover the Mestni Vrh trail, stroll through vineyards, and enjoy the breathtaking views of Ptuj and the surrounding hills.
On the grounds of Herberstein House, you will find chickens, ducks, mini sheep, goats, and cats roaming freely. Both children and adults will be delighted by the close interaction with these friendly and curious animals.
If you love hiking or cycling, Herberstein House is the perfect starting point for exploring nature and discovering scenic routes from Slovenske gorice, across Dravsko polje, and all the way to Haloze.
