Velenje Beach
Totally renovated in 2014, this excellently maintained lake resort has all the fun and games one expects from a lazy day at the beach, from sun loungers on which to sunbathe, nearby grassy areas for leisure games and a variety of different vessels (including the more fun than fun Stand Up Paddling (SUP)) to take you out to the water. A bar is located in the boathouse, with a whole host of refreshments on offer. The beach is also dog friendly.
