Maribor is a small town with about 100.000 inhabitants. It’s very green - there’s one huge park with 3 lakes in it. There are some more small parks, but there’s basically so much natural green - there’s a huge pristine forest cutting almost to the city centre from the south-east, with the riverbank being green on both sides, with a natural island in the river - a preserved nature park, and the Pohorje mountain (all covered in forests) with ski slopes for winter and mountain bike and hiking trails for summer recreation.
