The Eco hostel Krizevci recently joined the Slovenian network and opened its doors in April 2011. The youth hostel is located in the heart of the regions Pomurje and Prlekija, on a natural crossing between the hills of Jeruzalem (in Slovenia) and the spas of Pomurje, only 4 km off the main highway connecting Ljubljana with Budapest.

The Eco Hostel is situated in a townhouse from the end of the 19th century, protected as part of the local heritage, which was recently renovated.

Efficient energy usage for cooling and heating:

It is a unique case in Slovenia of refurbishment of a protected building of more than 120 years in accordance with the most modern features of passive houses.

In winter, the house is heated through floor heating system which uses the heat from underground water as the source of warmth. Due to these solutions the heating is extremely efficient in terms of low impact on the environment. Alternatively, in summer, the entire building is cooled through the central ventilation system which uses the cold underground water. Passive cooling is sustainable and has no negative effects on the environment.

Another highlight of the Eco Hostel is the restaurant, set in the old cellar of the house and equipped with the most modern system of ventilation.

The youth hostel provides 52 four-bedded rooms and 3 equipped apartments (65 - 105 m2) for 4 to 8 people which include private kitchens. The food offered is locally produced as part of the eco experience. WiFi connection is also available along with a large parking space and a terrace which can welcome 60 guests. More information
