The oldest vine in the world can still be found in the old town on the Lent, in front of the House of the Old Vine. With a confirmed age of over 400 years, the Black Velvet Vine or Blauer Kölner is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest fruit-bearing vine in the world. The old vine symbolizes the rich wine culture of the city of Maribor, the region of Styria and the country of Slovenia.

The Museum of the Oldest Vine in the World places it in the context of the urban development of Lent and Maribor as the wine-growing center of Slovenian Styria. It is based on the preserved movable heritage, which is reinforced by the fact of its extraordinary age. In addition to the selected material and texts, the exhibition is also enriched by computer animations and videos.

The dominant castle building in the center of the city houses the Maribor Regional Museum, a modern facility with aesthetically sophisticated exhibitions that introduce visitors to the history of the city from the Neolithic Age to the beginning of the 20th century.

Pohorje is a natural oasis with vast forests, the Šumik primeval forest, clearings and pastures, the pristine waters of Pohorje, waterfalls and peat bogs with lakes that are home to Europe's largest butterfly and other valuable animal species.
