Celje, Medieval fortress city in Styria, Slovenia

Celje lies at the intersection of four rivers - Savinja, Hudinja, Ložnica, and Voglajna - in a valley surrounded by green hills.

The city gained prominence under the Counts of Celje from 1341 to 1456, receiving princely status in 1436 before falling under Habsburg control.

The German Cultural Center, established in 1906, marked Celje as a central point of German cultural influence in the early twentieth century.

The city maintains a network of walking paths connecting historical monuments, Roman ruins, and medieval structures throughout the central district.

The Town Forest features a specialized tree house that functions as a community center for educational workshops and local gatherings.
