Arguably a tourist attraction in its own right, as well as a place to stay, the Habakuk is a huge hotel located at the foot of the Pohorje mountains and is a natural source of accommodation for the thousands of skiers who flock to the area during winter. But its Spa and Wellness Centre is also a crowd-puller and is one reason why during the off-season, i.e. summer, you’ll see lots of young men wearing tracksuits wandering around. Most of these will be footballers from either Croatia or Serbia and the Habakuk is their destination-of-choice for pre-season training, given that there are a number of pitches close by. Strange but true.
