During an official tour of Slovenia that took place between August 31st and September 8th 2013 we were able to visit, in some cases for the very first time, many fortified places, castles, and other hidden fortified objects that for a majority of ordinary visitors of Slovenia still remain a secret.

To a culture tourist Slovenia provides not only strongholds and other reminders for historic events and wars (most famous and impressive are the Isonzo lines near the Italian border), but also an unforgettable and untouched landscapes, architectural and technical monuments, excellent restaurants and rich cultural programmes. Participants of the tour came from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Owners of several fortified monuments asked for a membership in FORTE CULTURA.
